Modern Slavery Statement for Camden Man And Van

Camden Man And Van is committed to operating responsibly, ethically, and in full respect of human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the moving and transport sector can present risks through subcontracting, labour sourcing, and service delivery, so we maintain clear controls to uphold our zero-tolerance approach.

Our Commitment

At Camden Man And Van, we believe that every individual has the right to work freely, safely, and with dignity. Our policy applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers engaged in Camden Man And Van services. We do not tolerate any business relationship that involves coercion, debt bondage, child labour, passport retention, or exploitative recruitment practices. Any indication of abuse is treated as a serious matter and investigated promptly.

We expect the same standards from every party connected to our business. The Camden Man and Van modern slavery statement supports our wider ethical standards by requiring fair treatment, lawful employment practices, and transparent labour arrangements. Where there is any concern about a supplier or subcontractor, we take immediate corrective action, which may include remediation plans, suspension of work, or termination of the relationship if risks cannot be resolved.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Our supplier management process is designed to reduce risk and strengthen accountability. Before onboarding a new supplier, we assess business ownership, employment practices, and any reliance on labour agencies or intermediary recruiters. We also review whether the supplier has policies addressing modern slavery, health and safety, and worker welfare.

Existing suppliers are subject to periodic review through our supplier audits and compliance checks. These audits may include document verification, checks on payroll and right-to-work records, interviews with management, and examination of labour sourcing practices. If we identify any inconsistency, we request clarification and evidence. Repeated failures, refusal to cooperate, or credible signs of exploitation will trigger escalation and may lead to disengagement.

We also encourage suppliers to maintain their own internal controls and to ensure that any subcontractors they use follow equivalent standards. In this way, the Camden Man And Van modern slavery policy extends beyond direct relationships and helps build a more responsible supply chain. Our procurement decisions consider not only price and capability, but also integrity and compliance.

Reporting Channels and Response

We promote a workplace culture where concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Workers, suppliers, and partners may report suspected modern slavery or unethical conduct through internal reporting channels, including management escalation and confidential reporting routes. Reports may relate to recruitment fees, threats, unsafe accommodation, excessive working hours, withheld wages, or any other sign of exploitation.

How Concerns Are Handled

All reports are treated seriously and reviewed promptly by responsible management. Where required, we investigate discreetly, preserve evidence, and take appropriate corrective action. This may involve removing a supplier from active work, supporting affected individuals, or referring matters to relevant authorities. We aim to act quickly and proportionately while protecting the safety and confidentiality of anyone who raises a concern.

Our staff receive awareness training so they can recognise warning signs and respond appropriately. As part of this approach, Camden Man and Van reinforces a culture of vigilance across day-to-day operations, making sure modern slavery risks are understood and addressed early. We believe prevention is strongest when responsibility is shared across the organisation and supply chain.

Annual Review and Ongoing Improvement

This statement and our related controls are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and reflect current legal requirements, operational risks, and best practice. The review considers supplier audit findings, incident reports, training records, and any changes in our operating model. Where improvements are needed, we update our processes, strengthen checks, and refresh staff guidance.

We view continuous improvement as essential to maintaining a robust Camden Man And Van modern slavery statement. By reviewing outcomes each year, we can identify patterns, close gaps, and reinforce our zero-tolerance policy in a practical way. This ongoing process helps us protect workers, support ethical trade, and maintain trust in the services we provide.

In summary, Camden Man And Van is committed to preventing modern slavery in all parts of its business. Through clear standards, supplier audits, reporting channels, and an annual review process, we aim to ensure our operations remain lawful, fair, and respectful. We will continue to strengthen our controls and uphold the highest standards of responsibility in every area of our work.
