Modern Slavery Statement for Brixton Man And Van

Brixton Man And Van is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights in every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that even businesses providing local moving and transport services must remain vigilant, because risks can arise through labour arrangements, subcontracted services, and purchased goods.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, and third-party partners. We do not accept any form of coercion, debt bondage, child labour, or abuse of vulnerability. Every person working with Brixton Man And Van is expected to uphold ethical standards and act with honesty, dignity, and accountability. Where concerns are identified, we will investigate promptly and take appropriate action, including suspension or termination of relationships when necessary.

To reduce risk, we conduct due diligence on suppliers and service providers before engagement and at regular intervals thereafter. Supplier audits help us assess labour practices, recruitment methods, and compliance with legal and ethical expectations. We prioritise suppliers who can demonstrate responsible employment practices and transparent records. When improvements are needed, we request corrective actions and monitor progress carefully to ensure issues are resolved.

We also recognise the importance of training and awareness. Managers and staff are encouraged to understand the warning signs of exploitation, such as unusual payment arrangements, restricted freedom of movement, or signs of intimidation. This knowledge supports our commitment to maintaining a safe and lawful working environment across Brixton Man and Van services.

In addition, we expect our supply chain partners to follow the same standards we set for ourselves. This includes recruitment agencies, equipment providers, subcontracted drivers, and any organisation supporting our business activities. By extending our modern slavery expectations beyond our immediate workforce, Brixton Man And Van strengthens accountability and helps prevent hidden abuse from entering our operations.

We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Any worker, supplier, or stakeholder who suspects misconduct may report it through internal management routes, and all reports are treated seriously and confidentially. We encourage early reporting because swift action is often the best way to protect individuals and stop harm from continuing.

Our leadership team reviews all allegations and ensures that appropriate steps are taken, which may include further checks, interviews, or referral to external authorities where required. The business will always aim to protect anyone who raises a concern in good faith. This approach reflects our belief that prevention is strongest when people feel safe to speak up.

We also monitor our purchasing and onboarding processes to reduce exposure to risk. Careful record keeping, transparent agreements, and regular supplier engagement allow Brixton Man and Van to identify concerns earlier and respond effectively. Where higher-risk activity is detected, we apply closer oversight and more frequent supplier audits to strengthen compliance.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and operational risks. Each review considers any incidents, audit findings, supplier performance, and feedback from internal checks. Where improvements are needed, we update our policies and controls to reflect best practice.

Brixton Man And Van remains committed to continual improvement in preventing modern slavery and exploitation. By enforcing a zero-tolerance policy, maintaining supplier audits, supporting reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we reinforce our responsibility to operate ethically and protect human rights across our business and supply chain.
