Modern Slavery Statement — Tufnell Park Man with Van

This modern slavery and human trafficking statement sets out the approach taken by Tufnell Park Man with Van, the Tufnell Park man with a van service, and affiliated man-and-van teams to identify, prevent and address modern slavery risks within our operations and supply chains. It applies to all colleagues, contractors and suppliers engaged to support our removal and delivery activities in and around Tufnell Park and across London.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Our commitment is unequivocal: we operate a zero-tolerance policy to any form of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking or exploitation. All personnel and partners must comply. We will not knowingly engage any supplier, subcontractor or agency worker involved in such practices. Any breach triggers immediate action, potentially including termination of contracts and referral to the appropriate authorities.

A young man with short brown hair, wearing a blue t-shirt and dark jeans, is standing in a residential space, holding a medium-sized cardboard box with both hands. In the background, there are several other cardboard boxes stacked on the floor, indicating a moving or packing process. The room features light-colored walls and wooden flooring, creating a bright and clean environment typical of a house interior in Tufnell Park, London. To the left, a woman with dark hair tied back, dressed in a green tank top, is seated on a beige fabric sofa, smiling and holding a cushion. The scene captures a moment of preparation for home relocation, with the furniture and boxes arranged in an organized manner. The overall setting suggests a professional house removals service, such as Tufnell Park Man with Van, working efficiently within a typical residential property during a move in North London, with natural lighting highlighting the tidy and well-maintained space.

Scope and Responsibility

The responsibility for implementing and enforcing this policy rests with senior management and the operations team. Managers are required to apply consistent standards when recruiting drivers, loaders and logistics staff. The statement covers anyone engaged to provide man with van services, removal support, packing assistance and ancillary logistics in our Tufnell Park removal service offering.

We mandate supplier due diligence and risk-based supplier audits. Our procurement procedures require verification of identity, right to work and lawful employment terms, supplemented by periodic checks. This includes written contractual commitments forbidding forced labour, and the right to audit records and practices. We use a combination of desktop reviews and on-site supplier audits to confirm compliance and to remediate risks where they are identified.

A living room scene with numerous cardboard boxes and packing materials scattered across a cream-colored shag rug. Several boxes vary in size, some sealed with packing tape and others open, revealing items such as folded blankets, cushions, and a small potted green plant. A light gray fabric sofa is positioned centrally, with a folded plaid blanket draped over its armrest. Behind the sofa, cream curtains hang from a window, softly diffusing natural light into the room. The scene suggests an ongoing house move, typical of removals services in the Tufnell Park area, as indicated by the clutter of household belongings ready for loading. The arrangement of boxes and household items emphasizes the process of packing and relocation, while the neutral tones and tidy environment reflect a professional and organized approach to house removals within the London borough of Islington, close to the N19 postcode area. Supplier audits include a targeted checklist and corrective action plan. Key audit elements include:

  • Employment records and proof of lawful work status for drivers and crew;
  • Wages and hours scrutiny to prevent exploitative pay or excessive hours;
  • Working conditions and safe transport arrangements;
  • Subcontractor management and supply chain transparency;
  • Remediation tracking with concrete deadlines.

Reporting channels are essential to our approach. We provide multiple confidential channels for workers, subcontractors and members of the public to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports can be made anonymously through internal reporting lines and are treated with strict confidentiality. All allegations receive a documented response and, where warranted, a formal investigation. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation.

How to raise concerns: We maintain internal reporting pathways, escalation to senior operations managers, and escalation procedures for urgent risks. Any allegation triggers a triage process, risk assessment and, if required, referral to law enforcement and relevant statutory agencies.

Training and awareness form an integral part of our compliance framework. All employees and contracted crews receive regular training on modern slavery indicators, safe recruitment practices and the expected conduct of Tufnell Park movers. We emphasise the role of supervisors in recognising signs of exploitation and the importance of documenting any irregularities for supplier audit purposes.

We embed anti-slavery clauses into contracts with suppliers and sub-contractors, including rights to audit, requirements for worker records and clear termination rights for violations. Our procurement terms for the Tufnell Park man-and-van network require adherence to our code of conduct and supply chain mapping to enhance transparency.

A woman with short, light brown hair and a denim shirt is smiling while holding a clear plastic storage box filled with shoes, standing outside a residential house in a suburban street in Tufnell Park. Two young girls with light brown hair, wearing casual clothing, are sitting on a stack of cardboard moving boxes labeled 'Small Box' and 'Bathroom Accessories, Books, Magazines, Etc.', smiling at the camera. In the background, a young boy in a red cap and jacket is carrying a box, suggesting a house move or relocation in progress. The scene is set in daylight, with the house's front door, windows, and a well-kept lawn visible, indicating a typical UK residential setting. The overall atmosphere is cheerful and orderly, consistent with professional removals and household relocation activities provided by Tufnell Park Man with Van. The company applies continuous monitoring and improvement: supplier performance metrics, regular desktop reviews and targeted on-site checks. We maintain records of audits, corrective actions and closure evidence. Senior management reviews compliance reports quarterly, and the board reviews this Modern Slavery Statement annually to ensure effectiveness and alignment with evolving best practice.

A man wearing a grey shirt, beige trousers, and a cap is lifting a medium-sized cardboard box into the open back of a white removals van parked on a residential street in Tufnell Park, London. The van's interior is filled with various-sized cardboard boxes, some stacked on top of each other, ready for a house relocation. A red hand truck with a small cardboard box resting on its platform is positioned on the pavement next to the van. In the background, there are modern terraced houses with brick facades, front gardens, and well-maintained lawns, indicating a typical London suburb setting. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight, suggesting clear weather, and the precise placement of boxes and equipment reflects an organized approach to property removals, with the focus on safe handling and efficient loading gear for a professional move in North London postcode area. In closing, Tufnell Park Man with Van reaffirms that modern slavery has no place in our operations or supply chain. We will continue to strengthen our supplier audits, maintain robust reporting channels, and undertake an annual review to assess and improve our program. Through ongoing vigilance, training and contractual safeguards we aim to protect workers and uphold the highest ethical standards in all our man with van and removal services.
