Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van New Addington

Man With Van New Addington is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and exploitation, is a serious global issue that can affect every sector of the economy. This statement sets out the steps taken by our organisation to prevent modern slavery in our operations and supply chains.

Our zero-tolerance policy is central to this commitment. No form of modern slavery is accepted in our business, whether it occurs directly within our services or indirectly through suppliers, contractors, or other partners. We expect everyone connected with Man With Van New Addington to uphold the same ethical standards and to act promptly if concerns arise.

We operate with a strong focus on responsible labour practices, particularly where work involves logistics, vehicle support, storage, loading, and subcontracted services. Man With Van New Addington reviews recruitment practices to ensure that workers are engaged voluntarily, are of legal working age, and are not subject to coercion, debt bondage, or passport retention. We also require that wages, working hours, and conditions meet applicable legal and ethical standards.

Supplier oversight is an important part of our approach. Supplier audits are used to assess risk and verify compliance with our anti-slavery expectations. These audits may include document checks, labour practice reviews, and confirmation that workers understand their rights and can leave employment freely. Where a risk is identified, we seek immediate corrective action and may suspend or end relationships with suppliers who fail to improve.

Our due diligence process is proportionate to the nature of the service and the level of risk involved. For example, when engaging transport or support providers, Man With Van New Addington considers the source of labour, the transparency of hiring arrangements, and whether subcontracting chains are clear and controlled. We prefer to work with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical conduct and who can demonstrate responsible management systems.

Training and awareness also support prevention. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and contractor management are encouraged to identify warning signs such as unusual control over workers, restricted movement, or inconsistent employment records. By maintaining informed teams, Man With Van New Addington strengthens its ability to detect and prevent abuse before it occurs.

We have established confidential reporting channels so that concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made by employees, suppliers, subcontractors, or any other relevant party through internal management routes. All concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion. Retaliation against anyone raising a concern in good faith is prohibited.

Any allegation or suspicion of exploitation triggers an internal review, and where necessary, the matter is escalated to appropriate external authorities. Man With Van New Addington will cooperate with investigations and take decisive action where evidence confirms a breach of our standards. This may include termination of contracts, enhanced monitoring, or additional audit requirements.

We are committed to annual review of this statement and our wider anti-slavery measures. Each year, Man With Van New Addington evaluates the effectiveness of its policies, supplier audits, training, and reporting procedures, taking account of changes in risk, operations, and legislation. Improvements are documented and used to strengthen future controls.

In summary, Man With Van New Addington believes that ethical business and respect for human dignity must go hand in hand. Our ongoing commitment to a zero-tolerance policy, careful supplier audits, secure reporting channels, and regular annual review reflects our determination to help prevent modern slavery in all forms and to promote responsible practices across our organisation and supply chain.
