Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Twickenham
Man With Van Twickenham is committed to conducting business in an ethical, lawful and transparent manner. We recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, servitude and child exploitation, is a serious violation of human rights. This statement sets out the steps taken by Man With Van Twickenham to prevent slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain.
Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers and suppliers. We do not tolerate any form of exploitation, coercion or abuse. Every decision made by Man With Van Twickenham must reflect respect for human dignity, fair treatment and compliance with applicable labour laws.
We expect all business partners to uphold the same standards. When appointing suppliers, we assess their employment practices, wage systems, right-to-work procedures and working conditions. Where risks are identified, Man With Van Twickenham will require corrective action or, if necessary, end the relationship.
Our due diligence process is designed to identify and reduce risk. As a local removals and transport provider, Man With Van Twickenham understands that vulnerability can exist in indirect labour arrangements, subcontracting and seasonal work. We therefore monitor recruitment methods, overtime expectations and record-keeping to ensure workers are treated fairly and legally.
Supplier oversight is a key part of this commitment. We carry out supplier audits proportionate to risk, reviewing documentation and, where appropriate, conducting site checks. These audits focus on identity verification, pay practices, working hours and evidence that no worker is subjected to threats, debt bondage or restricted movement.
Where a supplier falls short of our standards, we will work with them to improve compliance. If issues are serious or repeated, Man With Van Twickenham may suspend business or terminate the arrangement. We believe prevention is most effective when expectations are clear, measurable and consistently enforced.
Reporting concerns is essential to maintaining an ethical workplace. We encourage staff and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery, unsafe recruitment or unacceptable labour practices through our internal reporting channels. Reports can be made confidentially and will be treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled without retaliation.
Training supports awareness across the business. Relevant personnel receive guidance on recognising warning signs such as withheld documents, unexplained deductions, signs of intimidation or workers lacking freedom to leave. By strengthening understanding, Man With Van Twickenham aims to reduce the likelihood of abuse entering our service chain.
This statement reflects our current approach to responsible business conduct. We remain committed to continuous improvement and to ensuring that every individual connected with Man With Van Twickenham is treated with fairness, safety and respect.
The statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant and aligned with legal and ethical expectations. During each annual review, we assess risk areas, supplier performance, reporting trends and the need for additional controls. Updates may be made to strengthen our response and improve accountability.
Through this ongoing commitment, Man With Van Twickenham seeks to protect human rights across its activities and supply chain. Our approach is clear: no exploitation, no concealment and no compromise on ethical standards.
