Soho Man with Van Modern Slavery Statement
Soho Man with Van (also referred to in this statement as Soho Man & Van or soho man with van service) sets out our commitment to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. This statement is applicable to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Soho Man with Van and is issued in accordance with applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking laws.
Our zero-tolerance policy
We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards slavery, forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking and any form of worker exploitation across the Soho man-and-van sector we serve. All personnel, from drivers to office staff and subcontractors, must comply with this policy. Any breach will be treated as a serious disciplinary matter and may result in termination of contracts or engagement.Supply chain due diligence and supplier audits
Soho Man with Van recognises that transparency in our supply chain is essential. We maintain a robust supplier due diligence programme that includes risk-based screening and pre-engagement checks on prospective partners. Our procurement terms require suppliers to confirm adherence to our anti-slavery standards and to provide information on labour practices, working hours and wage policies.
Audit programme and corrective action
We conduct regular supplier audits — including on-site inspections, document reviews and worker interviews — prioritised by risk profile. Audits are performed by trained personnel or independent auditors. Where issues are identified, we require timely corrective action plans. Repeat non-compliance triggers escalation, contract review and, where necessary, termination.
Audit frequency is determined by supplier risk: high-risk suppliers are reviewed annually, medium-risk biennially and low-risk on an as-needed basis. All audit outcomes are recorded and monitored against remediation milestones.
Policies, training and contractual controls
Our policies are embedded in contracts with suppliers and subcontractors. We mandate clauses that prohibit forced labour and require compliance with local labour laws and ethical recruitment practices. All staff and drivers received training on recognising signs of modern slavery, safe reporting practices and responsibilities under this statement. Training is refreshed annually and as part of induction for new hires.

The male worker, dressed in a blue shirt and dark trousers, is holding the box from one side, while the female, wearing a light blue top and beige trousers, assists by gripping the other side. The background features the open rear of the black removals truck, which contains stacked cardboard boxes of various sizes, some in brown and others in lighter shades, along with protective packaging materials. The truck is parked on a paved driveway near a residential street, with green trees and a house with a sloped roof visible in the distance. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight, creating soft shadows and a clear view of the company's professional handling of household items for a local house move in the [POSTCODE] area near [TOWN], reflecting efficient and careful packing practices typical of house removals companies like Soho Man with Van.](/pub/_photos/removals/f2000601088.jpg)
Reporting channels and whistleblowing
We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns. Reports can be made through internal channels to management, via designated ethics hotlines, or using anonymous submission mechanisms. Reports are investigated promptly and impartially, with protections in place against retaliation. We encourage early reporting and ensure that investigations lead to appropriate remediation where necessary.
Key elements of our reporting framework include:
- Confidential reporting mechanisms for workers and third parties
- Prompt investigation procedures and documented outcomes
- Protection for whistleblowers and non-retaliation commitments
Implementation, monitoring and continuous improvement
Soho man with van operations are overseen by a senior compliance lead who is responsible for implementation of this statement and integration into operational processes. We maintain key performance indicators to measure supplier compliance, training completion and the number and resolution of reported incidents. Regular internal reviews ensure our approach remains effective and proportional to emerging risks.
Annual review and governance
We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our related policies. Reviews assess changes in our business, the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting outcomes and training uptake. Where necessary, we update our controls, contractual language and remediation procedures to strengthen protections. The review process includes senior management sign-off to ensure governance and accountability across Soho man with van teams.
In conclusion, Soho Man with Van reiterates its firm commitment to preventing modern slavery in all its forms. We will continue to enhance our due diligence, maintain robust supplier audits, provide safe reporting channels and conduct annual reviews to ensure our practices reflect the highest ethical standards in the industry.
