Modern Slavery Statement — Bromley Man with Van
Bromley Man with Van is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our approach, expectations and the practical steps we take to ensure that workers engaged with our Bromley man & van service are treated fairly and lawfully. We operate a zero-tolerance stance towards exploitation, and this policy applies to staff, contractors and suppliers.
We recognise our responsibility as a local Bromley man with a van provider to maintain ethical practices. Our zero-tolerance policy is explicit: any evidence of forced labour, debt bondage, coercion or withholding of wages will result in immediate action including termination of contracts and referral to appropriate authorities. We will not tolerate any practices that undermine human dignity or contravene labour laws.
To implement these commitments we have embedded controls across recruitment, procurement and operations for our Bromley removal van activities. Our recruitment checks verify identity and right-to-work documents. We require suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws and include contractual clauses that allow us to monitor compliance and terminate relationships if necessary.
Supplier due diligence is central to our approach. We conduct regular supplier audits and risk assessments focusing on high-risk zones of our supply chain such as subcontracted drivers, cleaning or packing services, and temporary labour. Audits combine document review, interviews and on-site checks where feasible to validate working conditions, wage records and working hours.
Our supplier audit process includes:
- Pre-engagement screening for modern slavery risk and labour standards.
- Contractual obligations that require suppliers to report breaches and permit audits.
- Periodic audits targeted by risk level and random spot checks.
Where audits identify issues, we take proportionate remedial measures: immediate corrective actions, capacity building and, where necessary, termination of contracts. We emphasise remediation and support for affected workers while ensuring accountability for responsible parties.
Reporting channels are an essential pillar of our anti-slavery framework. Employees, contractors and third parties are encouraged to raise concerns through multiple channels. We maintain anonymous reporting routes and a defined escalation pathway so that suspected cases of exploitation can be assessed quickly and confidentially.
Specifically, our reporting framework includes:
- internal whistleblowing procedures that protect reporters from retaliation;
- management-led investigation teams trained to respond to modern slavery disclosures;
- collaboration with external agencies when criminal activity is suspected.
All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly. We document findings, actions taken and follow-up measures to prevent recurrence. Our commitment is to transparency of process while respecting confidentiality and legal protections for individuals involved.
Training, Governance and Continuous Improvement
We provide regular training for staff and key suppliers on recognising signs of modern slavery, safe reporting and legal obligations. Senior management, including the board that oversees Bromley removals and logistics, reviews the effectiveness of policies and controls. Governance includes assigning responsibility for anti-slavery compliance to a designated officer who coordinates audits, investigations and supplier engagement.
Annual Review and Transparency
We carry out an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our policies to measure progress, incorporate lessons learned and update risk assessments. The review evaluates audit outcomes, training completion rates, incident handling and remediation effectiveness. Where gaps are identified, we commit to prompt action plans and resource allocation to strengthen safeguards.
By maintaining robust controls, frequent supplier engagement and clear reporting mechanisms, Bromley man & van providers under our brand aim to reduce the risk of modern slavery. We reaffirm our dedication to ethical supply chains, worker dignity and legal compliance. This statement is made in good faith and will be reviewed, revised and published annually as part of our continued efforts to combat modern slavery and human trafficking.
