Modern Slavery Statement for Dagenham Man And Van

At Dagenham Man And Van, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, and we take our responsibility seriously to identify, prevent, and address any risks associated with it.

Our commitment applies to every aspect of the business, including recruitment, subcontracted work, procurement, transport activities, and supplier relationships. We expect all colleagues, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same ethical standards. The Dagenham Man and Van approach is based on compliance, vigilance, and continuous improvement.

We will not knowingly work with any organisation that benefits from exploitative labour practices. If concerns arise, they are treated as a priority and investigated promptly. By maintaining clear expectations and robust controls, the man and van service in Dagenham seeks to prevent abuse and ensure that everyone involved in our business is treated with dignity and respect.

Our zero-tolerance policy is supported by internal procedures designed to reduce risk. We assess the nature of work, the locations involved, and the labour models used by suppliers and subcontractors. Where appropriate, we request evidence of lawful employment practices, right-to-work checks, and responsible workforce management. This helps us ensure that the people supporting our man-and-van operations in Dagenham are protected from exploitation.

Supplier audits form an important part of our due diligence programme. We reserve the right to review selected suppliers and subcontractors on a regular basis, taking into account risk level, service type, and trading relationship. These reviews may include documentation checks, confirmation of employment standards, and verification that workers are paid appropriately and treated fairly. Where issues are identified, we will require corrective action, and where necessary, we may suspend or end the relationship.

We expect suppliers to share our ethical standards and to cascade those expectations through their own supply chains. This includes avoiding unsafe working conditions, unlawful deductions from wages, coercion, and any form of deceptive recruitment. Through these measures, Dagenham Man And Van reinforces a culture of accountability across the business.

Reporting channels are essential to the success of this statement. Any employee, contractor, supplier, or third party who suspects modern slavery or unethical labour practices is encouraged to raise the matter immediately through the appropriate internal route. Reports are handled confidentially and taken seriously, with no tolerance for retaliation against individuals who speak up in good faith. Concerns may include signs of coercion, restricted movement, withheld documents, or unsafe and exploitative working arrangements.

We aim to create an environment in which people feel able to report concerns without fear. This is supported by training and awareness-raising so that warning signs are recognised early. The modern slavery policy at Dagenham Man And Van is designed to ensure that potential risks are escalated and investigated in a timely and responsible manner.

Where appropriate, corrective measures may include additional checks, supplier engagement, contract review, or referral to the relevant authorities. Our aim is not only to comply with legal obligations, but also to contribute positively to ethical business practices in the logistics and removals sector.

We review this statement annually to ensure that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and best practice. The annual review considers changes in our operations, supplier base, risk exposure, and internal procedures. It also allows us to measure progress and strengthen our safeguards where necessary.

As part of that review, we evaluate the effectiveness of our supplier audits, the use of reporting channels, and any actions taken in response to concerns. This ongoing process helps Dagenham Man And Van maintain a proactive stance against exploitation and reinforces our commitment to responsible trading.

This statement reflects the values of our business and our determination to operate ethically at all times. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, promoting clear reporting channels, and completing an annual review, Dagenham Man And Van continues to support the fight against modern slavery and uphold the highest standards of conduct.
