Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Stanmore
Man With Van Stanmore is committed to conducting business with integrity, responsibility, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Man With Van Stanmore to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect businesses in every sector, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of abuse, coercion, or unlawful labour practices.
Our approach is guided by a clear expectation that all workers, suppliers, subcontractors, and business partners uphold the same ethical standards. We believe that a reliable Man With Van Stanmore service must be built on lawful employment, fair treatment, and transparent working conditions. To support this, we require that employment arrangements are voluntary, wages are paid appropriately, and working hours comply with applicable labour laws.
We also expect our workforce and partners to understand the warning signs of exploitation. These may include withheld documents, excessive control, debt bondage, restricted movement, intimidation, or the presence of workers who appear unable to speak freely about their employment. Any concern raised in relation to modern slavery is treated seriously and investigated promptly, with action taken where necessary.
Our internal procedures are designed to reduce risk across the business. We conduct due diligence on suppliers and service providers before engagement and continue to monitor them throughout the relationship. For higher-risk categories, supplier audits are undertaken to assess labour standards, payment practices, worker welfare, and record-keeping. Where weaknesses are identified, we require corrective action and set timeframes for improvement. If a supplier fails to meet our requirements, we may suspend or end the relationship.
The Man With Van Stanmore modern slavery statement also applies to recruitment practices. We do not tolerate the charging of illegal recruitment fees, document retention, or any arrangement that could create dependency or pressure on workers. Any employment support services used by our business must operate transparently and comply with relevant law. We also expect subcontracted labour to be engaged fairly and without concealment of terms, conditions, or identity.
Training and awareness are essential to our prevention strategy. Managers and relevant staff receive information on identifying indicators of exploitation and on the steps to take if concerns arise. Man With Van Stanmore encourages a culture in which people can speak openly, act responsibly, and escalate issues without fear of reprisal. This helps ensure that potential risks are addressed early and appropriately.
To support accountability, we maintain clear reporting channels for concerns relating to modern slavery, labour abuse, or unethical conduct. Reports may be made internally through line management or designated compliance routes, and all concerns are handled confidentially wherever possible. We take every report seriously, assess the facts carefully, and take proportionate remedial action. Retaliation against anyone raising a genuine concern is strictly prohibited.
Our commitment extends beyond compliance to continuous improvement. We review our risk profile by considering the nature of work carried out, the geography of suppliers, and the services procured. This helps us identify areas where modern slavery risks may be more likely to arise. Where needed, we strengthen checks, update procedures, and reinforce training to ensure that Man With Van Stanmore remains vigilant and proactive.
The effectiveness of this statement and the measures described within it is reviewed annually. Each annual review considers supplier performance, audit findings, reported concerns, and any changes in legal requirements or risk exposure. Findings are used to refine our controls and improve future practice.
By maintaining a structured review cycle, Man With Van Stanmore demonstrates its long-term commitment to ethical operations, lawful labour standards, and the prevention of modern slavery in all areas of the business.
