Modern Slavery Statement — Harrow Man with Van Commitment
Harrow Man with Van is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our zero-tolerance policy, the steps we take to identify and mitigate risk, and how we maintain transparency and accountability in our Harrow man and van services.
We recognise our responsibilities as a local removal and transport provider. Our policy applies to every employee, contractor and partner engaged with Harrow removal services. We will not tolerate forced labour, servitude, or any exploitation of people. All staff are required to act in accordance with this policy and to report concerns through our established channels.
Our supplier management programme includes regular supplier audits and due diligence for all suppliers and subcontractors who support our man-and-van operations. Audits assess labour practices, working conditions and compliance with relevant laws. Where risks are identified, we work collaboratively to ensure corrective actions are taken and monitor progress until satisfactory remediation is proven.
Policies, Training and Responsible Procurement
We maintain robust recruitment and employment practices to prevent exploitation within our teams. Background checks, clear contracts and transparent pay structures are standard for all Harrow man-with-van personnel. Staff training includes recognition of modern slavery indicators and appropriate response procedures. Training is refreshed annually and adapted to emerging risks.
Our procurement principles require suppliers to meet our ethical standards. This includes contractual clauses that prohibit forced labour and require compliance with labour laws. We prioritise suppliers that demonstrate strong labour practices, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships where non-compliance cannot be remedied.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Harrow Man With Van has multiple reporting channels to encourage the prompt disclosure of concerns. Employees, contractors and third parties can report suspected incidents through secure, confidential routes. Reports are treated seriously, investigated quickly, and actions are taken to protect victims and hold perpetrators to account. Reports can be made anonymously, and retaliation against whistleblowers is strictly prohibited.
We publish summaries of investigations and outcomes where appropriate, while maintaining confidentiality of individuals involved. Our response protocol ensures victim support, remedial action with suppliers and, if necessary, referral to enforcement authorities. Every report is logged, assessed for risk, and escalated where required.
Key commitments include:
- Zero-tolerance policy: No tolerance for slavery or human trafficking in any part of our operations.
- Supplier audits: Regular audits, risk assessments and contractual obligations for ethical conduct.
- Reporting channels: Confidential, accessible mechanisms for raising concerns.
- Training and awareness: Mandatory training for staff and managers to identify and respond to modern slavery risks.
We continually review and improve our approach. Our annual review cycle evaluates the effectiveness of policies, supplier audit outcomes, training completion rates and any incidents reported. This allows Harrow man with van services to refine risk assessments and implement stronger controls where necessary.
Governance is overseen by senior management who take responsibility for policy enforcement and public accountability. We commit to transparent reporting and continuous improvement so that our Harrow removal company remains free from exploitation and upholds the highest ethical standards.
This statement is reviewed at least once every year as part of our annual review process and updated to reflect evolving risks, legal requirements and best practice. By embedding these measures into our business processes, Harrow Man With Van strives to be a responsible employer and a trusted provider of man-and-van services in our community.
