Roehampton Man And Van is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that every person involved in our business, directly or indirectly, must be treated with dignity and protected from exploitation.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all areas of the business. We do not tolerate any form of modern slavery, whether it occurs in our own activities or through the actions of suppliers, contractors, or other business partners. Any breach of this policy may result in immediate action, including termination of working relationships where appropriate. This stance reflects our commitment to ethical business practice and responsible service delivery.

We also expect every supplier and partner associated with Roehampton Man And Van to uphold the same standards. Before engaging with new suppliers, we assess their labour practices, ethical policies, and risk controls. Existing relationships are reviewed regularly to identify any signs of non-compliance. If concerns are identified, we investigate promptly and require corrective action where needed.

Risk Management and Supply Chain Oversight

Modern slavery risks can appear in any sector, including transport, logistics, cleaning, maintenance, and temporary labour arrangements. To reduce these risks, Roehampton Man And Van applies a risk-based approach to supplier due diligence. This includes reviewing company policies, ownership structures, recruitment methods, and labour standards. We prioritise higher-risk suppliers for closer scrutiny and require evidence that workers are treated lawfully and fairly.

Supplier audits are an important part of our control framework. These audits may include document checks, interviews, and reviews of employment procedures to ensure that workers are not subjected to coercion, withholding of wages, passport retention, or restricted movement. Where suppliers cannot demonstrate adequate safeguards, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship. Our aim is to prevent harm before it occurs and to improve standards across our supply chain.

We also provide internal guidance to help staff recognise warning signs, such as unusual working hours, poor living conditions, limited freedom to leave employment, or signs of intimidation. Awareness is essential, because modern slavery can be hidden behind apparently normal business arrangements. By training staff to stay alert, Roehampton Man And Van strengthens its ability to respond quickly and responsibly.

Reporting, Accountability, and Review

We encourage any employee, supplier, or worker who suspects exploitation to raise concerns through our internal reporting channels. Reports may be made confidentially and will be treated seriously and without retaliation. Allegations are reviewed by management, and where necessary, we will escalate matters to the appropriate authorities. This approach helps ensure that people feel safe speaking up and that concerns are addressed promptly.

Our reporting process supports transparency and accountability throughout the business. If a concern is raised, we will record the issue, assess the evidence, and determine the correct response. In serious cases, we may stop working with a supplier or contractor while an investigation takes place. We are committed to acting decisively and fairly whenever there is a risk of exploitation.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal and ethical standards. As part of that review, we consider changes in risk, supplier performance, staff training, and any incidents reported during the year. The review process allows Roehampton Man And Van to improve its controls and reinforce a culture of responsibility. Through ongoing vigilance, we aim to ensure that our operations remain free from modern slavery and reflect the values of respect, accountability, and lawful conduct.
