Modern Slavery Statement — Chelsea Man with Van Commitment

Chelsea Man with Van (also referred to as Chelsea man with van and Chelsea removal van services) affirms a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in any part of our operations or supply chains. This statement sets out our approach to preventing exploitation, the measures we take, and the governance we maintain. Our aim is to ensure that every worker involved in our Chelsea man & van operations is treated with dignity and fairness.

Our Policy and Principles

We operate with a clear, enforceable policy: no forced or compulsory labour, no child labour, and no exploitation. All employees, contractors and service partners working with our Chelsea man-and-van teams are required to comply with this policy. We make explicit contractual commitments that prohibit any form of modern slavery, and we embed these terms across our procurement of materials, hire of vehicles and engagement of third-party couriers.

Our supplier expectations are clarified through a Supplier Code of Conduct and accompanying supplier due diligence. Key elements include:

• Verification of worker identity and age as part of onboarding.
• Checks on recruitment fees and practices to ensure workers do not incur debt because of employment.
• Regular compliance documentation and contractual clauses that allow audits and termination for breach.

Supplier Audits and Risk-Based Monitoring

We operate a risk-based audit programme for our supply chain partners and subcontractors, prioritising high-risk suppliers and regions. Audits combine document reviews, remote assessments and on-site inspections where feasible. Audit findings trigger corrective action plans; persistent non-compliance results in suspension or termination of contracts. Our Chelsea moving service audit criteria include worker interviews, payroll checks and review of recruitment agency practices.

Reporting channels are essential to identify concerns early. We maintain multiple safe reporting routes for employees and third parties to raise allegations of modern slavery confidentially and, where requested, anonymously. Reports can be escalated to a designated compliance officer and are investigated promptly, with protection against retaliation for whistleblowers. We also encourage suppliers to adopt similar whistleblowing mechanisms and to report breaches of our Chelsea removal van standards.

Training and awareness form a core part of our prevention strategy. All operational staff, managers and relevant suppliers receive training on recognising signs of exploitation and on how to use reporting channels. We provide targeted guidance for drivers, loaders and logistics coordinators engaged in Chelsea man with van activities to ensure they understand their responsibilities.

Our governance framework assigns clear responsibilities for oversight. Senior leadership reviews compliance with anti-slavery commitments regularly; we maintain documented processes for incident response, remediation and documentation. We collaborate with industry peers and local authorities to strengthen protections for vulnerable workers across the London removals and logistics sector.

Annual review and continuous improvement underpin this statement. We commit to a yearly assessment of our policies, risk mapping and supplier audit outcomes. The annual review considers changes in our business activities — including any expansion of the Chelsea man & van fleet — and updates the control measures accordingly. Measurable indicators, such as the number of audits completed, remedial actions taken, and training hours delivered, are recorded and reviewed.

In conclusion, Chelsea Man with Van remains resolute in the fight against modern slavery. We adopt a proactive, transparent approach that combines a zero-tolerance policy, rigorous supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a formal annual review process to ensure continuous improvement. This statement will be kept under regular review to reflect evolving best practice and to ensure our Chelsea moving service continues to operate ethically and responsibly.
