Kensington Man with Van Modern Slavery Statement

Kensington Man with Van is fully committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. As a local Kensington man with a van service, we recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and labour standards. This statement describes our policies, actions and ongoing commitments to eradicate exploitation, and to ensure that every person involved with our business is treated with dignity and respect.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Principles

We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery. All employees, drivers and sub-contractors working with Kensington Man & Van are required to comply. The policy is enforced through recruitment checks, contractual obligations and regular training. Any confirmed breach will lead to immediate disciplinary action, up to contract termination and referral to the appropriate authorities. We emphasise prevention, early detection and prompt remediation.

Supplier due diligence and routine supplier audits are central to our approach. We evaluate suppliers against clear standards, request evidence of legal employment practices and conduct both desk-based checks and on-site inspections where appropriate. Our procurement standards for the Kensington removal service include:

• Supplier audits: scheduled and ad-hoc reviews of compliance
• Documentation checks: payroll, contracts and right-to-work records
• Corrective actions: remediation plans and follow-up audits

We maintain multiple, accessible reporting channels for concerns about forced labour or exploitation. Workers, subcontractors and members of the public can raise issues confidentially through internal reporting pathways and anonymised submission options. All reports are taken seriously, logged and investigated promptly by senior management. Retaliation is prohibited and whistleblowers are protected under our procedures.

Our Kensington moving company conducts risk assessments across services and geographies to prioritise where audits and engagement are most required. We integrate modern slavery checks into procurement decisions and maintain records of supplier performance. Training programs for staff and contractors emphasise identification of indicators, safe referral practices and victim support mechanisms. We also work with third-party experts where specialist intervention is needed.

We require contractual commitments from suppliers that reflect our position on human rights. Contracts contain explicit anti-slavery clauses, rights to audit, and termination rights for breaches. The company applies ongoing monitoring and expects suppliers to report sub-contracting arrangements. Where deficiencies are identified we require time-bound remediation plans; persistent non-compliance may result in termination of commercial relationships.

Our reporting and remediation framework ensures that victims receive appropriate support while corrective action is implemented. Reports are triaged, investigated, and escalated. Where necessary, Kensington man with a van will collaborate with law enforcement, specialist NGOs and statutory bodies to ensure safety and legal compliance. We prioritise victim welfare alongside enforcement.

We review this statement and our processes annually. The annual review examines audit results, reporting trends, training completion and supplier compliance metrics. Findings are presented to senior leadership and used to refine risk assessments, enhance supplier engagement and update training materials. Continuous improvement is central to our governance approach.

In summary, by combining a strict zero-tolerance stance, regular supplier audits, confidential reporting channels and a formal annual review, Kensington Man with Van reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery. We will continue to strengthen due diligence, engage suppliers constructively and ensure transparency and accountability across all operations, aligning our local removal services with the highest standards of ethical conduct.
