Modern Slavery Statement — Sutton Man with Van

Sutton Man with Van affirms a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking across all operations. This statement sets out the steps taken by our team to prevent any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking within our workforce, our subcontractors and our supply chain. We are committed to ensuring that everyone who works for or with our Sutton man and van service is treated with dignity and respect, and that our policies align with the highest ethical and legal standards.

Our Commitment and Principles

We believe that strong governance, transparent processes and ongoing training create an environment where exploitation cannot thrive. Our commitments include:

• Zero tolerance — we do not tolerate any form of modern slavery within our operations or in our supplier network.
• Due diligence — we conduct risk assessments and vetting of third parties before engagement.
• Employee support — we offer channels for workers to raise concerns and provide information on rights and protections.

For the Sutton removal van and related services we operate a robust supplier audit programme. Supplier audits include documentation checks, contractual requirements, on-site inspections where required, and follow-up action plans. Suppliers found to be non-compliant are required to remediate issues within an agreed timeframe, and persistent breaches may result in termination of the relationship. We also require suppliers to confirm, in writing, their adherence to anti-slavery and anti-trafficking standards as a condition of engagement.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain clear and accessible reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns. Reports can be made anonymously and are treated with confidentiality and seriousness. Our reporting process is designed to protect whistleblowers from retaliation and to ensure allegations are investigated promptly. All reports follow a defined investigative pathway with documented outcomes and remedial actions where necessary. The Sutton man & van team ensures every report is logged and reviewed by senior management.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring Our monitoring framework includes periodic supplier reviews, risk-based site visits, documentation audits and contractual audit rights. Audit steps typically include:

• Verification of employment records and payroll processes;
• Interviews with workers and checks on recruitment practices;
• Assessment of subcontracting arrangements and labour providers;
• Action plans and timelines for corrective measures.

We employ a combination of scheduled and random checks to ensure compliance across our Sutton man and van supply chain.

Training, Communication and Continuous Improvement All employees and operational partners receive training on recognising the indicators of modern slavery and how to use reporting channels. Training is refreshed periodically and adapted to reflect emerging risks in the removals and logistics sector. We maintain clear policies that are communicated to staff, contractors and suppliers, and we encourage a culture where raising concerns is supported. Our approach to prevention is proactive: integrating anti-slavery principles into procurement decisions, contractor selection and performance management.

We undertake an annual review of our modern slavery policies and procedures to assess effectiveness and to identify improvements. The review examines audit outcomes, report trends, training completion rates and changes in supply chain risk. Findings from the annual review are used to update our risk assessments, enhance supplier due diligence, and refine training and reporting mechanisms. This ongoing cycle of assessment and action demonstrates Sutton removal van services’ continued commitment to eradicating modern slavery.

In summary, our Sutton man with van operations are built on transparency, accountability and respect for human rights. We will continue to strengthen our controls, engage with partners who share our values, and take decisive action where risks are identified. This statement is endorsed by senior management and will be published and reviewed annually to ensure that our commitment to combating modern slavery remains current and effective.
