Modern Slavery Statement for Tufnell Park Man And Van

Tufnell Park Man And Van is committed to operating responsibly, ethically, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery and human trafficking in any form. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent exploitation across our operations, workforce, and supply chain. As a moving and transport service, we recognise that the risk of abuse can exist in labour sourcing, subcontracting, vehicle support, and related procurement. We therefore maintain clear controls to protect people, uphold dignity, and ensure that our business practices reflect fairness and accountability.

Our commitment applies to everyone who works with or on behalf of Tufnell Park Man And Van, including staff, contractors, and suppliers. We expect all parties to share our standards and to comply with applicable employment, health and safety, and anti-trafficking laws. Any indication of forced labour, debt bondage, withheld documents, intimidation, or deceptive recruitment is treated as a serious breach. We believe that a strong anti-slavery policy is not only a legal requirement but also a core part of a trustworthy service.

We also expect modern slavery prevention to be embedded into decision-making. This means assessing risk at the start of supplier relationships, monitoring ongoing performance, and taking prompt action where concerns arise. Our approach is proportionate but firm: where the risk is elevated, we increase checks; where standards are not met, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship.

Supplier due diligence is central to our commitment. We carry out risk-based supplier audits and reviews to verify that partners are operating lawfully and ethically. These audits may examine labour practices, worker age verification, right-to-work procedures, wage records, subcontracting controls, and evidence of safe working conditions. Where a supplier is unable to provide adequate assurance, we request corrective action and monitor progress closely.

In addition, Tufnell Park Man And Van seeks contractual assurances from suppliers that modern slavery is prohibited throughout their organisations and supply chains. We encourage transparency in staffing arrangements and require suppliers to disclose use of agency labour or subcontractors where relevant. If non-compliance is identified, the issue is escalated, investigated, and addressed with urgency. Persistent failure to improve may result in termination of the business relationship.

Reporting suspected wrongdoing is essential to maintaining an ethical workplace. We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns about exploitation, coercion, unsafe conditions, or unethical recruitment can be raised without delay. Reports may be made through internal management routes, and all allegations are handled sensitively, confidentially, and without retaliation. We encourage anyone who sees something concerning to speak up, because early action can prevent harm and protect vulnerable workers.

We also train relevant personnel to recognise warning signs of exploitation, including unusual restrictions on movement, inconsistent pay information, lack of personal control over documents, and signs of fear or control. Awareness is important across the full service chain, from recruitment and onboarding to supplier selection and daily operations. Our aim is to ensure that a responsible removals company remains alert to risk and capable of responding quickly.

Tufnell Park Man And Van reviews its controls regularly to confirm they remain effective and appropriate. This includes evaluating risk indicators, examining the results of supplier audits, reviewing any reported concerns, and considering changes in law or industry best practice. Findings are used to strengthen procedures, refresh training, and improve oversight of partner relationships. Where necessary, additional checks or remedial measures are introduced.

This statement is supported by an annual review process carried out by management. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our actions, consider lessons learned, and update our approach where improvements are needed. The review takes account of supplier performance, incident trends, and the overall risk profile of our operations. This ensures our anti-slavery commitment remains current, practical, and measurable.

Tufnell Park Man And Van reaffirms its determination to prevent modern slavery in every part of its business. We will continue to uphold a zero-tolerance policy, strengthen supplier audits, maintain trusted reporting channels, and complete an annual review of our controls. Through vigilance, transparency, and respect for human rights, we aim to support a supply chain that is safe, lawful, and free from exploitation.
