Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Harringay

Man With Van Harringay is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights across every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms and may be hidden within complex business relationships, which is why our response is built on prevention, vigilance, and accountability.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers. We do not accept any form of exploitation, coercion, or deceptive recruitment practices. Every person working with or for Man With Van Harringay is expected to uphold ethical standards that protect dignity and lawful working conditions. This commitment is embedded in our internal procedures, onboarding checks, and supplier expectations.

We also understand that ethical transport and removals services depend on responsible partnerships. For that reason, our approach to modern slavery prevention is not limited to compliance alone; it reflects our wider values. By maintaining transparent labour practices and monitoring risks, Man With Van Harringay services aim to reduce vulnerability throughout the supply chain and support fair treatment for everyone involved.

Risk management is a central part of our statement. We carry out supplier audits to assess labour standards, business conduct, and the use of subcontracted labour. These audits may include document checks, reviews of recruitment practices, and confirmation that workers are free from debt bondage or restrictions on movement. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action and may end the relationship if standards are not improved.

Our procurement process includes clear expectations for suppliers. Before engagement, we seek evidence that organisations share our commitment to lawful employment and ethical sourcing. We prioritise suppliers who can demonstrate sound governance, workforce transparency, and respect for worker welfare. In this way, modern slavery prevention becomes part of routine decision-making rather than a separate exercise.

Reporting channels are available to all staff and business partners so that concerns can be raised quickly and without fear of retaliation. Any suspicion of exploitation, unsafe recruitment, or unethical behaviour is escalated through internal reporting procedures and reviewed promptly by management. We encourage early reporting because timely action is essential in identifying and addressing potential harm.

Training and awareness are also important elements of our program. Staff members are informed about the signs of exploitation, the importance of due diligence, and the role they play in safeguarding ethical standards. Although the risk profile of a moving business may differ from larger industrial sectors, Man With Van Harringay modern slavery controls remain proportionate, practical, and focused on real-world risk.

We expect all individuals associated with our company to act with honesty and to comply with relevant employment, immigration, and health and safety laws. Where appropriate, we seek confirmation that workers are properly engaged, paid fairly, and treated with respect. These expectations reinforce a culture in which exploitation has no place.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and business developments. During each review, we assess the results of supplier audits, any reported concerns, and the effectiveness of our internal controls. If improvements are needed, we update our procedures and strengthen our oversight. Through this annual review, Man With Van Harringay demonstrates its ongoing commitment to ethical practice, responsible trading, and the protection of human rights across all operations.
