Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Kentishtown

Man With A Van Kentishtown is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and any form of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many industries, including transport, logistics, storage, and subcontracted services, and we take our responsibility seriously. Our approach is based on prevention, transparency, and accountability, with a clear expectation that everyone working with Man With A Van Kentishtown shares these values.

We require all employees, contractors, and business partners to act ethically and to comply with applicable laws and standards. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in immediate removal from our supply chain, disciplinary action, or termination of an agreement. This commitment applies equally to all levels of our organisation, ensuring that Man With A Van Kentishtown maintains a workplace and supplier network free from abuse and coercion.

Our risk assessment process considers the nature of services provided, the location of suppliers, and the level of labour intensity involved. We focus on areas where vulnerability may be higher, including labour hire, subcontracted transport support, and temporary staffing. By identifying risks early, Man With A Van Kentishtown can take proportionate action to prevent harm and strengthen responsible business practices.

Supplier due diligence is central to our strategy. Before engaging new suppliers, we assess their labour practices, governance controls, and ethical standards. Existing suppliers are subject to periodic supplier audits designed to check compliance with our expectations on wages, working hours, identity documentation, safe working conditions, and freedom from coercion. Where concerns are identified, we request corrective action and monitor progress closely. Persistent non-compliance may lead to suspension or termination of the relationship.

We also expect suppliers to maintain suitable records and to flow these standards through their own subcontractors. In practice, this means the responsibility for preventing modern slavery does not stop at the first tier. Man With A Van Kentishtown seeks assurance that all parties in the chain are taking active steps to protect workers and uphold human dignity. Ethical sourcing is therefore not treated as a one-time check, but as an ongoing obligation.

Reporting channels are an essential part of our response framework. We encourage employees, suppliers, and third parties to raise concerns if they suspect modern slavery, trafficking, or any related abuse. Reports may be made through internal management routes, and every concern is handled seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. We aim to create a culture in which speaking up is supported and protected, because early reporting can help prevent further harm.

Any allegation is reviewed promptly and impartially. Where appropriate, we will investigate, preserve relevant information, and take immediate safeguarding measures. If a case is substantiated, we will work with the relevant parties to address the issue decisively and ensure that those affected are protected. Our response may include contract review, supplier remediation, or referral to appropriate authorities. This reflects the firm stance of Man With A Van Kentishtown that exploitation has no place in our business.

Training and awareness are also part of our prevention programme. Staff involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management receive guidance on recognising warning signs, including unusual control over workers, withheld documents, poor living conditions, or evidence of dependency. By strengthening understanding across the business, Man With A Van Kentishtown improves its ability to identify and respond to risk early.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal expectations and operational realities. Each annual review considers audit findings, reported concerns, corrective actions, and improvements made during the year. We use this process to refine our controls and reinforce accountability throughout the business. Through continuous review and active oversight, Man With A Van Kentishtown aims to uphold the highest standards and contribute to the eradication of modern slavery in all its forms.
