Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Stamford Hill

Man With Van Stamford Hill is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and responsibility. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and actions that guide our operations, ensuring that forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and other forms of exploitation have no place in our business or supply chain. We recognise that a zero-tolerance approach is essential to protecting workers, customers, suppliers, and the wider community.

As a Man With Van Stamford Hill service provider, we understand that moving, transport, and subcontracted work can involve multiple parties. For that reason, we maintain clear expectations for employees, contractors, and suppliers. Every person working with or on behalf of our company must comply with our standards of ethical conduct, lawful employment, fair pay, and safe working conditions.

Our commitment is embedded in our internal policies, recruitment practices, and supplier relationships. We do not knowingly engage with any individual or organisation that profits from exploitation. Any suspicion of abuse is treated seriously and investigated without delay.

Our zero-tolerance policy means that any confirmed instance of modern slavery will result in immediate and decisive action. This may include termination of contracts, reporting to relevant authorities, and review of all associated business relationships. The same standard applies whether the concern arises within our direct operations or within the wider network supporting Man With Van Stamford Hill.

We reduce risk through thorough due diligence at the point of onboarding and throughout the relationship. Supplier assessments consider business ownership, labour practices, worker treatment, subcontracting arrangements, and the use of recruitment agencies. Where risk is identified, we require corrective action plans and evidence of improvement before continuing the relationship.

To strengthen oversight, we conduct supplier audits based on the level of risk presented. These audits may be announced or unannounced and can include document checks, workforce interviews, and verification of employment records. Suppliers are expected to cooperate fully and maintain accurate records relating to wages, hours, identity checks, and right-to-work compliance.

Our reporting channels are designed to encourage early reporting of concerns. Employees, suppliers, and contractors can raise issues through internal management routes, documented incident logs, and designated safeguarding procedures. Concerns may relate to wage withholding, coercion, passport retention, debt bondage, misleading recruitment, or unsafe living and working conditions.

We make sure that reports are handled confidentially and without retaliation. Anyone raising a concern in good faith will be supported, and no adverse action will be taken because they spoke up. If a case suggests immediate danger or criminal activity, it is escalated promptly for further investigation and, where appropriate, referral to the relevant authorities.

Training is part of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in recruitment, supplier management, and operations receive guidance on recognising warning signs and acting quickly. This helps ensure that modern slavery risks are identified before harm occurs and that our control measures remain effective in practice.

We also expect our suppliers to share our ethical values. Contract terms require compliance with anti-slavery laws and permit verification of labour practices where necessary. If a supplier cannot demonstrate responsible conduct, we may suspend business, require remediation, or end the relationship altogether. This protects the integrity of Man With Van Stamford Hill and supports fair treatment across the supply chain.

An annual review is central to our commitment to continuous improvement. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, audit findings, reported concerns, and any emerging risks linked to our activities. The review helps us measure whether our controls remain appropriate and whether further training, tighter procurement checks, or stronger monitoring is needed.

This statement reflects the ongoing commitment of Man With Van Stamford Hill to uphold human dignity and lawful business conduct. We will continue to strengthen our safeguards, reinforce our zero-tolerance policy, and work with responsible partners to ensure that modern slavery is prevented, detected, and addressed wherever risk may appear.
