Modern Slavery Statement for Removal Van Enfield

Removal Van Enfield is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, and child exploitation are severe violations of human dignity. This statement sets out the steps taken by Removal Van Enfield to help ensure that slavery and exploitation have no place in our operations or supply chain.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers. We expect everyone who works with Removal Van Enfield to uphold the highest standards of integrity and legality. Any form of coercion, concealment, intimidation, or abuse linked to labour practices is unacceptable. We make clear that modern slavery risks will be treated as a serious breach of trust and may lead to disciplinary or commercial action.

As a business providing moving and transport-related services, Removal Van Enfield understands that risk can exist within labour-intensive sectors and across extended supply chains. For that reason, we carry out due diligence when selecting and renewing supplier relationships. We review labour practices, working conditions, recruitment methods, and evidence of compliance with applicable laws to help reduce the chance of exploitation.

Supplier oversight is a key part of our approach. Removal Van Enfield conducts supplier audits and periodic checks based on risk level, nature of service, and geography. These audits may include document reviews, management declarations, and follow-up inquiries where concerns arise. Where suppliers cannot demonstrate acceptable standards, we seek corrective action and monitor progress. If improvement is not achieved within a reasonable timeframe, we will reconsider the relationship.

We also support awareness within our own operations. Staff are encouraged to understand the signs of modern slavery, such as restricted movement, withheld documents, unpaid overtime, or unsafe living conditions. Training and internal communication help ensure that concerns are recognised early. By maintaining vigilance, Removal Van Enfield strengthens its ability to identify and respond to potential abuse.

Reporting channels are an essential safeguard. Any worker, colleague, or supply chain partner who suspects misconduct can raise a concern through internal reporting routes. Reports may be made confidentially and will be handled with sensitivity, fairness, and urgency. Removal Van Enfield does not permit retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith. This protection helps create a culture where issues can be raised without fear.

When a concern is reported, it is assessed promptly and investigated in line with the seriousness of the allegation. Where evidence suggests a problem, we may suspend work with the supplier, request further documentation, or involve appropriate authorities if necessary. Removal Van Enfield aims to act decisively while remaining focused on protecting vulnerable people and preventing further harm.

Our governance framework ensures that modern slavery risk remains visible at senior level. Responsibilities are shared across management, procurement, and operations so that ethical sourcing is embedded throughout decision-making. We also keep records of identified risks, audits carried out, and actions taken in response to concerns. This helps us track progress and strengthen our safeguards over time.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with best practice. The review considers changes in legislation, supplier performance, incident trends, and feedback from internal monitoring. Through annual review, Removal Van Enfield reinforces its commitment to continuous improvement and a workplace free from exploitation. We will continue to improve our controls, deepen supplier accountability, and uphold a firm zero-tolerance stance against modern slavery in all forms.
