Modern Slavery Statement for Lambeth Man And Van

Lambeth Man And Van is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach to identifying, preventing, and addressing any risk of modern slavery or human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognize that modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, and exploitation, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any such conduct.

Our organisation operates in a sector where people, vehicles, equipment, and subcontracted services may all be involved in day-to-day delivery. For this reason, Lambeth Man And Van applies clear standards to employees, contractors, and suppliers. We expect every party associated with our moving and transport services to act lawfully, ethically, and transparently. Modern slavery has no place in our business, and we are committed to continuous vigilance.

We regularly communicate our expectations through internal procedures, onboarding materials, and supplier requirements. The principles in this statement apply across our operations and are supported by management oversight. Any breach of our ethical standards may result in corrective action, suspension of work, or termination of the relationship where appropriate.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We recognise that the greatest risk of modern slavery often exists in supply chains. Therefore, Lambeth Man And Van carries out proportionate supplier audits and due diligence checks to assess labour practices, legal compliance, and workforce protections. Where suitable, we request information on recruitment practices, working hours, pay, identity documentation controls, and subcontracting arrangements.

Our auditing approach may include document review, risk screening, and periodic verification of high-risk suppliers. If concerns are identified, we seek immediate clarification and may require an improvement plan, further inspection, or removal from our approved supplier list. We also expect suppliers to maintain accurate records and to ensure that any workers engaged in our services are employed voluntarily and without coercion.

Modern slavery prevention is not a one-time exercise. It is built into procurement decisions and reviewed whenever new suppliers are engaged or existing relationships change. We aim to work only with partners who share our commitment to ethical labour standards and who can demonstrate responsible employment practices.

Reporting Channels and Safeguarding Concerns

Lambeth Man And Van encourages anyone connected with our business to raise concerns if they suspect exploitation, unsafe labour practices, or irregular recruitment arrangements. Reports may be made through internal management channels, and all concerns are handled seriously, discreetly, and without retaliation. We want workers and suppliers to feel confident that issues will be addressed promptly and fairly.

Our reporting process is designed to support early intervention. Concerns can relate to unpaid wages, restricted movement, intimidation, retention of identity documents, or any sign that a person is not working of their own free will. Where appropriate, matters may be escalated for investigation, corrective action, or referral to the relevant authorities. We treat whistleblowing and safeguarding as essential elements of responsible governance.

Transparency and accountability are central to our approach. All reports are assessed with care, and records are kept to support proper review and follow-up. By encouraging open reporting, Lambeth Man And Van strengthens its ability to identify and reduce risk across the business and its supply chain.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal expectations and business activity. Each review considers supplier audit outcomes, reported concerns, changes in operations, and any emerging risks linked to modern slavery or human trafficking. The review process supports improvements to our controls and training.
