Modern Slavery Statement — Kennington Man with Van Commitment

Kennington Man with Van operates with a firm and explicit policy against modern slavery and human trafficking. This statement outlines our stance, actions and ongoing programme to ensure that forced labour, child labour, involuntary servitude and any other forms of exploitation have no place in our operations or supply chain. Our zero-tolerance approach is central to the culture of Kennington man-and-van services, and we communicate this stance clearly to employees, contractors and suppliers.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy that is applied across all parts of the business. All staff, from drivers to administrative personnel, are trained to recognise potential indicators of exploitation and to take immediate action, including reporting concerns through our secure reporting channels. The policy requires that work must be freely chosen, that contracts and working conditions are transparent and that everyone engaged by Kennington removals is treated with dignity and respect. We enforce vetting and identity checks, and we prohibit the withholding of identity documents or pay as a condition of employment.

To manage and reduce risk in our supply chain, Kennington Man With Van carries out targeted supplier audits and due diligence. We require all suppliers and subcontractors to adhere to our anti-slavery standards as a contractual obligation. Our supplier audit programme includes document reviews, on-site checks where feasible and risk-based third-party assessments. Audit findings are recorded and acted upon with corrective action plans, escalation procedures and, where necessary, termination of contracts for non-compliance. Key steps in our supplier assurance include:

• Risk identification based on geography, sector and labour practices;
• Contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-modern slavery laws;
• Periodic audits and follow-up verification to ensure remedial actions are implemented.

Our reporting channels are designed to be accessible, confidential and effective. Employees and third parties can report concerns without fear of retaliation via internal hotlines, written reports and through designated safeguarding officers. Strong whistleblowing protections are in place, and all reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and resolved transparently. We encourage the use of multiple channels so that anyone — whether a permanent colleague, temporary worker, or supplier representative — can raise issues knowing they will be heard. In addition, management maintains a register of reports and outcomes, ensuring lessons are learned and shared across the organisation.

Training, Governance and Continuous Improvement

Governance of the anti-slavery programme sits with senior leadership and is supported by a cross-functional compliance team. Regular training is delivered to staff and contractor partners, reinforcing recognition of signs of exploitation and the mechanisms for response. We employ both preventive and responsive measures: preventive measures include recruitment controls and supplier selection criteria; responsive measures include investigations, remediation and cooperation with relevant authorities where required. Kennington man-and-van also integrates ethical considerations into procurement decisions and performance reviews.

Annual Review and Reporting

We carry out an annual review of our policies, procedures and supplier audit programme to evaluate effectiveness and adapt to emerging risks. This review examines training uptake, incident trends, supplier performance and the impact of corrective actions. Findings are reported to the board and inform updates to our strategy, audit scope and resource allocation. The annual review is part of a continuous improvement cycle designed to strengthen protections against modern slavery and to ensure the Kennington Man with Van brand remains synonymous with ethical, lawful operations.

In summary, our commitment is clear: to operate a business free from modern slavery, to hold our supply chain to the same standard, to maintain secure and trusted reporting channels, and to review and improve our approach each year. We will continue to adapt and enhance our processes so that exploitation is prevented, detected and swiftly addressed whenever it is identified. This statement reflects the ongoing determination of Kennington Man with Van to act with integrity and to uphold the highest standards of human rights across all our activities.
