Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Colneyhatch

Man With Van Colneyhatch is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and expect the same standards from every supplier, contractor, and business partner.

As a responsible Man With Van Colneyhatch service provider, we recognise that modern slavery can appear in many forms, including debt bondage, coercion, and hidden labour exploitation. We therefore apply due diligence measures across our business to identify, assess, and reduce risk. This statement reflects our commitment to ethical conduct, lawful employment practices, and the protection of vulnerable workers.

Our internal controls are designed to ensure that recruitment, onboarding, and workforce management are carried out transparently and fairly. All workers are treated with dignity, and we prohibit child labour, unlawful deductions, document retention, and intimidation. The Man With Van Colneyhatch modern slavery policy is supported by training, monitoring, and clear accountability at management level.

We also expect our suppliers to uphold the same ethical principles. Supplier onboarding includes risk-based checks, contract clauses addressing labour standards, and supplier audits where appropriate. These audits may review payroll records, right-to-work evidence, working hours, and subcontracting arrangements to ensure that no part of the supply chain is connected to exploitation.

Where a concern is identified, we investigate promptly and take proportionate action. This may include requesting corrective action, increasing monitoring, suspending work, or ending a relationship if the issue is serious or unresolved. Our approach is practical and firm: we aim to improve standards while protecting people from harm.

Employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. We provide multiple reporting channels so that potential issues can be reported confidentially and safely. Concerns may be raised through management, designated compliance leads, or formal written reporting routes. All reports are treated seriously, reviewed promptly, and handled with discretion.

Training and awareness are central to our efforts. Staff involved in hiring, supplier selection, and operational oversight receive guidance on recognising indicators of modern slavery, including restricted movement, unusual dependency, or inconsistent employment information. By strengthening awareness, we reduce the risk of exploitation being overlooked in day-to-day operations.

Our commitment extends beyond compliance. We seek to build a culture where ethical behaviour is expected, where concerns are acted on quickly, and where business decisions reflect our responsibility to people. The Man With Van Colneyhatch modern slavery statement is not a static document; it supports an ongoing programme of review, improvement, and accountability.

We assess modern slavery risks through periodic reviews of suppliers, operational practices, and any reported incidents. Where higher-risk activities are identified, additional scrutiny is applied. This may involve more frequent audits, enhanced contractual controls, or targeted checks on labour providers and subcontractors.

To maintain effectiveness, this statement and the supporting policy framework are reviewed annually. The review considers any changes in legislation, business structure, service delivery, supplier relationships, and identified risks. Findings from the review inform updates to our controls, training, and audit programme, ensuring that our response remains relevant and robust.

Man With Van Colneyhatch remains dedicated to preventing modern slavery in all forms. Through a zero-tolerance stance, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to protect workers and uphold ethical standards throughout our business and supply chain. This commitment is embedded in how we operate and how we expect others to work with us.
