Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Canningtown

Man With Van Canningtown 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, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that even low-risk service sectors must remain alert to exploitation, and we are determined to uphold the highest ethical standards.

Our approach is grounded in prevention, vigilance, and accountability. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to act lawfully and ethically. In line with this commitment, Man With Van Canningtown requires all relevant parties to understand their responsibilities and to avoid any association with abusive labour practices, debt bondage, or coercive employment conditions.

We also acknowledge that modern slavery can take many forms, including hidden exploitation within subcontracted work, recruitment processes, and outsourced services. For this reason, Man With Van Canningtown applies ongoing due diligence across procurement and operations, ensuring that our standards are not only stated but actively maintained.

Our zero-tolerance policy is supported by internal controls, staff awareness, and clear expectations for supplier conduct. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in suspension or termination of a relationship. We encourage a culture in which concerns are raised early and addressed promptly, without fear of retaliation.

Supplier oversight is a key part of our framework. We carry out supplier audits proportionate to the level of risk associated with the goods or services provided. These audits may include document checks, verification of labour practices, and assessments of recruitment and subcontracting arrangements. Where risks are identified, we seek corrective action plans and monitor progress closely.

In higher-risk areas, we require suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws and to demonstrate that workers are treated fairly. Man With Van Canningtown also reserves the right to review records, challenge inconsistencies, and end relationships where improvement is not possible. This helps us ensure that our supply chain remains transparent and responsible.

Reporting concerns is essential to preventing harm. We provide accessible reporting channels so that employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders can raise concerns about exploitation, unsafe labour conditions, or unethical practices. Reports are handled sensitively, investigated promptly, and escalated where necessary. We are committed to protecting anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

Training and awareness also support our response to modern slavery risks. Staff involved in procurement, supplier management, and operational decision-making are encouraged to remain alert to warning signs such as unusual document retention, restricted worker movement, or inconsistent employment records. This awareness strengthens the ability of Man With Van Canningtown to act decisively when concerns emerge.

Our governance arrangements ensure that responsibility for ethical practice is shared across the organisation. Senior oversight helps maintain focus on compliance, while periodic reviews of procedures support continuous improvement. In this way, Man With Van Canningtown aims to embed respect for human rights into everyday business activity.

We will review this statement annually to assess its effectiveness, consider emerging risks, and update our controls where necessary. The annual review will take account of audit findings, supplier performance, training needs, and any reports received through our reporting channels. This process ensures the statement remains current, practical, and meaningful.

Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our safeguards and work with partners who share our commitment to ethical business. Man With Van Canningtown believes that responsible trade depends on respect for human dignity, lawful employment, and transparent supply chain management. Our promise is simple: zero tolerance for modern slavery in any form.

Through ongoing diligence, supplier accountability, and a firm ethical stance, Man With Van Canningtown will continue to protect people from exploitation and uphold the values that define our business.
