Modern Slavery Statement for Bow Man And Van

Bow Man And Van is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, or any form of exploitation. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken across our operations and supply chains to help ensure that every person involved in delivering our services is treated with dignity and respect.

As a moving and transport business, Bow Man And Van recognises that risks may arise through subcontractors, temporary labour, suppliers, and service partners. We therefore apply a clear modern slavery policy across our activities and expect all workers and suppliers to uphold the same ethical standards. Our approach is based on prevention, vigilance, and accountability.

We take a zero-tolerance policy toward any conduct that may enable exploitation. Any breach of our standards may lead to immediate investigation and, where appropriate, termination of the business relationship. Bow Man And Van promotes fair recruitment, lawful pay, safe working conditions, and the right for individuals to work freely without coercion or threats.

Supplier due diligence is central to our responsible sourcing approach. Supplier audits are carried out on a risk-based basis to assess labour practices, subcontracting arrangements, wage handling, identity checks, and working hours. When concerns are identified, we require corrective action plans and monitor progress to confirm improvements. Repeated or serious breaches may result in suspension or removal from our approved supplier base.

Bow Man And Van also expects its suppliers to maintain transparent records and to cooperate fully with checks designed to identify modern slavery risks. We ask key partners to confirm that they do not use forced, trafficked, or underage labour and that they apply the same expectations throughout their own supply chains. This helps strengthen the integrity of our Bow Man And Van modern slavery statement and supports long-term responsible business practices.

Training and awareness are important parts of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in hiring, procurement, vehicle management, and subcontractor engagement are encouraged to recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld documents, unusual dependency, or unsafe living conditions. By building awareness across the business, Bow Man And Van strengthens its ability to spot concerns early and act responsibly.

We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and promptly. Workers, contractors, and suppliers may report suspected modern slavery, unsafe treatment, or unethical conduct through internal management routes or designated escalation processes. Reports are handled discreetly, and no person will suffer retaliation for raising a concern in good faith. This commitment supports a culture of openness and protection across the business.

Bow Man And Van understands that effective reporting is only valuable if concerns are properly examined. All issues are reviewed, documented, and escalated where necessary so that the appropriate action can be taken. Where a potential violation of our modern slavery and human trafficking commitments is identified, we respond with seriousness, fairness, and urgency.

Our annual review process ensures that this statement remains relevant and effective. Each year, Bow Man And Van assesses its policies, supplier oversight, training activity, incident records, and any changes in legal or operational risk. The review informs updates to our controls and helps us improve the way we prevent exploitation within our business and supply chain.

Continuous Improvement

Bow Man And Van is committed to continuous improvement in tackling modern slavery. We will keep strengthening our checks, refining supplier audit methods, and reinforcing reporting channels so that ethical practice remains embedded in everyday operations. Our aim is to ensure that Bow Man And Van continues to operate with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights.
