Modern Slavery Statement — Bow Man with Van

Bow Man with Van affirms a clear and unequivocal commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we take as a small removals and transport provider — also operating under variations of our trading name such as Bow Man With Van and Bow man with van — to ensure workers are treated with dignity and respect.

Our Policy and Zero-Tolerance Stance

We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy on forced labour, child labour, and exploitation. All staff, drivers and subcontractors are required to comply with our policies which prohibit any form of modern slavery. Any breach will trigger immediate disciplinary action, and where appropriate, referral to authorities. Our leadership team regularly reiterates that unethical labour practices will not be tolerated.

Operational Controls and Supplier Expectations

We require suppliers and contractors to meet minimum standards of conduct. Our procurement process includes documented expectations and checks. Key elements include:

• Verification of identity and right to work;
• Contractual clauses prohibiting exploitation;
• Monitoring of labour conditions for workforce safety and fairness.

These steps apply across our network of subcontracted drivers, temporary staff and logistics partners.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We operate a targeted audit programme proportionate to risk. Audits combine self-assessment questionnaires, documentary review and where necessary site visits. Audit findings inform remediation plans; repeat non-compliance can lead to contract termination. Our supplier checks cover payroll practices, working hours, recruitment fees and recruitment processes to ensure no worker pays to obtain employment.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Bow Man With Van provides secure and confidential reporting channels so workers and stakeholders can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. We encourage anyone who suspects modern slavery or unethical labour practices to report through our dedicated internal routes. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and acted upon. Anonymous reporting is available to protect whistleblowers and vulnerable individuals.

To strengthen transparency we maintain clear documentation of all reports and investigations. Corrective actions are tracked to completion and lessons learned are integrated into policies and supplier contracts. Our commitment extends to subcontracted partners and the wider supply chain for removals, packing and logistics services.

Training, Awareness and Continuous Improvement

We provide regular training for managers and frontline staff to recognise signs of exploitation and modern slavery. Training covers recruitment best practices, how to handle disclosures, and the responsibilities of supervisors. Bow man with van invests in awareness so that every team member understands their role in preventing abuse and protecting vulnerable people.

Monitoring, Remediation and Record Keeping

Monitoring includes scheduled supplier reviews, spot checks and evaluation of corrective action effectiveness. Where issues are identified we mandate remediation timelines, worker remediation where applicable, and reassessment before ongoing engagement. Records of due diligence, audits and remedial steps are retained to evidence compliance with our obligations and to support continual improvement.

Annual Review and Statement Approval

This modern slavery statement is reviewed at least once every 12 months as part of our annual review cycle to ensure policies and procedures remain effective and proportionate to risk. Bow-Man-With-Van leadership endorses this statement and commits to transparent reporting on progress. We will update our practices as new risks are identified and share outcomes of audits and reviews internally to drive better standards across our operations.
