Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Belsizepark
Man With Van Belsizepark is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, child labour, and exploitation. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many industries and supply chains, and we take our responsibility seriously to help prevent it in every part of our operations.
As a removal and transport service provider, Man With Van Belsizepark understands the importance of ethical working practices among employees, contractors, and suppliers. We expect everyone who works with or on behalf of our company to uphold the same standards. Our commitment is not limited to compliance alone; it is a proactive promise to identify risks, address concerns, and promote fair treatment for all individuals connected to our business.
We operate with a clear zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. Any breach of this position may lead to immediate review, corrective action, and termination of commercial relationships where necessary. This applies to recruitment, onboarding, subcontracting, and procurement decisions. Our expectation is that ethical conduct is embedded throughout the chain of service delivery, from initial engagement to final completion.
To reduce risk, Man With Van Belsizepark applies due diligence when selecting suppliers and business partners. We assess the nature of the service, the location of work, and the potential vulnerability of labour involved. Where appropriate, we require suppliers to confirm their compliance with anti-slavery laws and provide assurances that their own workplaces and supply chains are free from exploitation.
Supplier oversight is strengthened through supplier audits and periodic checks. These reviews may include document verification, policy assessment, worker welfare controls, and contract scrutiny. If concerns are identified, we expect prompt remediation and may suspend or end the relationship if the issue cannot be resolved. We also encourage suppliers to maintain accurate records and to ensure that subcontractors follow the same ethical standards.
We recognise that a meaningful anti-slavery programme depends on open communication. Therefore, we maintain reporting channels that allow employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise concerns in good faith. Reports may include suspicious recruitment practices, withheld wages, excessive control over workers, unsafe accommodation, coercion, or any other sign of exploitation. All concerns are taken seriously and handled with discretion and respect.
Those who report issues are protected from retaliation, intimidation, or unfair treatment. We encourage early reporting so that concerns can be investigated quickly and appropriate action can be taken. Internally, managers are expected to respond responsibly and escalate matters where required. Externally, we expect our partners to support a culture in which concerns about modern slavery can be raised without fear.
Training and awareness form an important part of our approach. Relevant staff are informed about indicators of exploitation, the responsibilities set out in this statement, and the importance of speaking up when something appears wrong. This helps ensure that Man With Van Belsizepark remains vigilant in day-to-day operations and that ethical standards are understood across the business.
We will review this statement annually to confirm its continued relevance and effectiveness. During each annual review, we consider improvements to policies, supplier controls, staff awareness, and reporting arrangements. If changes in legislation, business structure, or risk profile require it, we will update our approach accordingly. 
Through continuous review and practical action, Man With Van Belsizepark aims to play its part in preventing modern slavery and promoting dignity, fairness, and transparency in every aspect of our work.
