Modern Slavery Statement ??? Moving Van

Our commitment

Moving Van is committed to preventing any form of modern slavery, forced labour or human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery statement for the Moving Van group outlines our zero-tolerance stance, the actions we take to manage risk, and the ways people can report concerns. We recognise our responsibility as a moving-van provider and logistics partner to uphold human rights and to act with integrity.

A woman and a man in a brightly lit interior space are engaged in a house moving process. The woman, with blonde hair and wearing a casual plaid shirt, is smiling at the camera while holding a medium-sized cardboard box. The man, standing slightly behind her, has dark hair, is wearing a light blue shirt, and is also smiling towards the camera. In front of them, there are several cardboard boxes of varying sizes, some stacked on top of each other, with one box prominently displaying a red 'FRAGILE' label. The background shows a white wall and a step ladder, suggesting a residential setting, possibly a hallway or living room, within a house near London. The scene captures the process of packing or preparing for a removal service with clear emphasis on household items and professional move readiness, consistent with a house removals company like Moving Van.We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation and slavery in all its forms. Our policy is clear: any person or supplier found to be engaging in modern slavery will face immediate remediation steps, contractual termination where applicable, and referral to legal authorities. Our expectations apply to all employees, contractors and third-party partners, including subcontractors and temporary labour used by Moving Van company operations. We will not tolerate forced labour, indentured labour, debt bondage, withholding of wages, or the use of exploitative recruitment practices.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Our supply chain due diligence for the movingvan business includes risk assessments, supplier onboarding checks, and targeted audits. We categorise suppliers by risk level and prioritise audits where there is higher exposure to vulnerable workers or complex recruitment channels. Audits combine document reviews, on-site inspections, and worker interviews. Findings result in action plans with timelines and follow-up reviews to ensure corrective actions are implemented.

A cardboard moving box positioned on a wooden floor, with a red and white tape dispenser placed on top of it. The box appears to be part of a collection of similarly packed boxes, likely being prepared for a residential move within London or nearby. The tape dispenser, featuring a red plastic cover and a metal cutting blade, is in the foreground, while additional cardboard boxes are stacked nearby in an organized manner. The scene suggests an indoor residential setting, possibly in a hallway or living room, with natural or ambient lighting illuminating the space. The boxes are made of brown corrugated cardboard, some with visible tape securing the flaps, indicating they are packed and ready for transportation. The overall scene captures a moment of household relocation, consistent with professional removals services such as those offered by Moving Van in the London area, particularly around postcode regions within the city. The setting emphasizes preparation for a house move with a focus on packaging and packing materials.

Supplier expectations and contractual terms

All contracts with suppliers contain clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery obligations. We use contractual terms to demand transparency and remedial measures. Where suppliers fail to meet our standards, we work to support improvements, but we will terminate relationships where non-compliance persists. Our approach to supplier management is both supportive and decisive: we prefer remediation and capacity building, but we enforce consequences where necessary.

Key elements of our supplier programme include:

  • Regular risk-based supplier audits and spot checks
  • Mandatory compliance clauses in contracts for the Moving Van network
  • Training and capacity-building for suppliers and procurement teams

A smiling young couple sitting on the floor of a residential driveway or garage in front of a partially loaded moving van, surrounded by packed cardboard boxes of various sizes, some with textured surfaces and others smooth, indicating they contain household items. The woman, wearing a yellow hoodie and blue jeans, holds a white mug, while the man, dressed in a green and purple striped t-shirt and grey trousers, also holds a mug. In the background, the van’s open sliding door reveals a wooden interior with shelves, and on the left side, a white chair with a light blue container on top and a rolled-up rug are visible. The scene suggests they are preparing for a house move, with items securely stacked and ready for transportation, capturing a moment of packing and collaboration during a house removal in the London area, near the postcode inferred from the site context, with natural lighting highlighting the domestic setting and abundance of household contents.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

Moving Van provides multiple confidential reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely. Reports can be made anonymously where local law permits, and we commit to protecting anyone who comes forward in good faith from retaliation. Our reporting channels are monitored by a designated compliance team and allegations are investigated promptly and impartially.

To support transparency we maintain clear procedures for logging incidents, conducting investigations, and documenting outcomes. Reports trigger risk assessments and, if substantiated, corrective measures for both internal operations and third-party suppliers. We also work with local authorities and non-governmental organisations when necessary to secure victim support and remediation.

The man, with short dark hair and a beard, is wearing a light grey T-shirt and blue jeans, leaning slightly forward while holding an open box. The woman, with short platinum blonde hair and a sleeveless grey top, is also seated on the floor and engaged in packing or unpacking. The background features a plain light-colored wall and stacked boxes, suggesting a house move in progress within a UK town or suburb. The scene is illuminated by natural light, creating a neutral and professional atmosphere suitable for a house removals service website, with the focus on the detailed textures of cardboard boxes and the domestic environment.Oversight and continuous improvement are central to our strategy. The board and senior leadership of the MovingVan group receive regular updates on anti-slavery performance, audit results and incident responses. We embed anti-slavery considerations into procurement decisions and corporate governance to ensure responsibility for ethics is visible at every level.

Training, monitoring and annual review

We deliver targeted training for staff involved in procurement, operations, and human resources to help them recognise signs of modern slavery and take appropriate action. Our monitoring framework tracks key performance indicators, corrective action completion, and supplier compliance rates. We also encourage an ethical culture where employees feel empowered to speak up.

Annual review: Moving Van conducts an annual review of this modern slavery statement and our related policies and procedures. The review assesses audit outcomes, incident trends, and the effectiveness of training and reporting channels. Where necessary, we revise controls, update supplier due diligence processes and allocate resources to high-risk areas to strengthen our preventative measures.

In conclusion, this statement reflects Moving Van???s ongoing commitment to eradicating modern slavery from our operations and supply chain. We combine a zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, secure reporting channels, and an annual review cycle to drive continuous improvement and ensure ethical conduct across the moving van industry.
