Modern Slavery Statement for Dulwich Man And Van

Dulwich Man And Van is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect any sector and that transport, removals, and logistics services must remain vigilant at every stage of service delivery.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, agency staff, and business partners. We do not accept any practice that involves coercion, deception, withheld identity documents, or any form of abuse. As a removals and van service provider, we understand the importance of making sure that every person working with us is treated fairly, lawfully, and with proper regard for their rights and welfare.

To support this commitment, Dulwich Man And Van carries out due diligence on suppliers and service providers. We assess labour practices, recruitment methods, and workplace standards where relevant to the services they provide. This includes reviewing whether suppliers have clear policies on modern slavery, whether they train staff appropriately, and whether they can demonstrate responsible employment practices throughout their operations.

We also use supplier audits as part of our oversight approach. Where appropriate, audits may involve document checks, requests for evidence, and reviews of subcontracted labour arrangements. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and may require corrective action, suspension of work, or termination of the relationship if standards are not met. This process helps us reduce risk across the Dulwich Man and Van supply chain and maintain ethical business practices.

Training and awareness are central to prevention. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and contract management are encouraged to recognise warning signs such as unusual payment arrangements, restricted worker movement, or inconsistent employment records. By improving awareness, Dulwich Man And Van strengthens its ability to identify risks early and respond appropriately.

We provide reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in good faith. Any employee, supplier, or contractor who suspects modern slavery or related misconduct is encouraged to report it immediately through internal management routes. Reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and investigated without retaliation against the person raising the concern.

Our approach extends beyond compliance; it reflects our values as a responsible Dulwich Man and Van business. We expect honesty in recruitment, fair wages, lawful working hours, and respect for individual rights. We are also committed to working only with partners who share our principles and can demonstrate that their own practices are consistent with ethical and lawful standards.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal obligations and operational changes. The annual review includes an assessment of risk areas, supplier performance, audit findings, staff awareness, and any reports received through our internal channels. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures and strengthen controls.

Dulwich Man And Van will continue to improve its systems for preventing modern slavery and promoting responsible business conduct. We remain committed to transparency, vigilance, and continuous improvement, ensuring that our services are delivered in a way that protects people, supports ethical trade, and upholds human rights across every part of our operation.
