Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Isleworth

Man With A Van Isleworth is committed to conducting business with integrity, responsibility, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that exploitation can take many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that abuses, coerces, or deceives workers. Our commitment applies to every part of our service, from recruitment and subcontracting to materials procurement and operational support.

As a removals and transport provider, Man With A Van Isleworth understands that risks may arise in labour-intensive sectors, particularly where workers are hired through third parties or where supply chains extend across multiple regions. For that reason, we take a proactive approach to risk management, due diligence, and accountability. We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the same high standards we set for ourselves.

Modern slavery prevention begins with clear governance. Our internal policies prohibit any form of forced work, withholding of identity documents, debt bondage, or intimidation. We also require that wages, working hours, and employment terms comply with applicable laws and ethical labour standards. Any breach of these expectations is treated as a serious matter and may lead to the immediate termination of a business relationship.

Supplier oversight is a central part of our approach. Supplier audits are conducted periodically to assess labour practices, documentation, subcontracting activity, and compliance with ethical standards. These reviews may include questionnaires, evidence checks, and follow-up assessments where risks are identified. Where necessary, we request corrective action plans and monitor progress closely to ensure concerns are addressed properly.

We also apply enhanced scrutiny to higher-risk arrangements, including temporary labour providers, logistics partners, and service contractors. Before engagement, suppliers are expected to confirm that they operate lawful recruitment procedures and that they do not use forced, trafficked, or underage labour. This helps Man With A Van Isleworth reduce exposure to hidden exploitation and strengthens transparency across the supply chain.

Employees receive guidance on recognising indicators of abuse, such as restricted movement, poor living conditions, excessive deductions, or signs that a worker is controlled by another person. Internal training reinforces the importance of vigilance and ethical decision-making. By promoting awareness, Man With A Van Isleworth ensures that modern slavery risks are identified early and acted upon responsibly.

We encourage anyone who suspects wrongdoing to raise concerns without delay. Reporting channels are available through internal management routes and designated safeguarding procedures, allowing concerns to be shared confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with sensitivity. Where a concern involves a supplier or contractor, we may suspend work while the matter is reviewed.

Our remediation process focuses on the safety and dignity of affected individuals. If a potential case of exploitation is identified, we work with relevant stakeholders to remove risk, support investigations, and take appropriate corrective action. This may include ending a contract, improving monitoring, or reinforcing compliance requirements. We believe that meaningful action is essential to maintaining trust and protecting vulnerable people.

This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical conduct and continuous improvement. It is supported by management oversight, regular review of policies, and a culture that values responsibility. Man With A Van Isleworth expects every person connected with our business to contribute to a workplace and supply chain that is free from exploitation and abuse.

We will carry out an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our supporting controls to ensure they remain effective, relevant, and aligned with legal and ethical expectations. The review will consider supplier performance, audit outcomes, reported concerns, and any emerging risks in our sector. Where improvement is needed, we will update procedures and strengthen safeguards.

Through this commitment, Man With A Van Isleworth reaffirms that modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chain. Our policy is not only a statement of principle but also a practical framework for action, accountability, and continuous vigilance.
