Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Barnsbury

Man With Van Barnsbury is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, including debt bondage, deceptive recruitment, coercion, and abusive working conditions. Our commitment applies across all business activities, from hiring practices to supplier management and service delivery.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and any conduct that may enable it. This means we do not knowingly work with any person, business, or partner involved in exploitative labour practices. All managers are expected to uphold this principle, and all staff are trained to identify warning signs such as withheld documents, restricted movement, unlawful deductions, or workers being controlled by third parties. The Man With Van Barnsbury modern slavery approach is rooted in prevention, accountability, and prompt action.

We also expect our suppliers, contractors, and service providers to comply with the same standards. Our procurement decisions consider ethical conduct alongside quality and reliability, because a responsible Man With Van Barnsbury supply chain must support fair treatment for everyone involved. Where appropriate, contracts include obligations relating to labour standards, lawful wages, and safe working conditions. If a supplier fails to meet these expectations, we may suspend or end the relationship.

To strengthen oversight, we carry out supplier audits on a risk-based basis. These reviews may include document checks, verification of working arrangements, and assessments of subcontracting practices. Higher-risk relationships are monitored more closely, particularly where labour is sourced through intermediaries or where work is time-sensitive. The goal of audit activity is not only compliance, but also early detection of conditions that could expose workers to harm.

Our internal controls support this process by requiring proper due diligence before new suppliers are approved. We ask relevant questions about recruitment methods, right-to-work checks, pay practices, and worker welfare. If concerns arise, they are escalated for investigation. This modern slavery statement for Man With Van Barnsbury reflects our view that prevention must be built into day-to-day decision-making, not treated as a separate exercise.

Training is another important part of our response. Staff involved in hiring, operations, and supplier selection receive guidance on identifying indicators of exploitation and understanding how to respond. We encourage a culture in which concerns are taken seriously and acted upon quickly. By improving awareness, Man With Van Barnsbury strengthens its ability to detect and reduce risk across the business.

We provide clear reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and other relevant parties can raise concerns in confidence. Reports may be made internally through management or through designated safeguarding processes, and all concerns are reviewed carefully. No one should fear retaliation for speaking up. If a potential issue is identified, we will investigate proportionately and take action where needed, including supporting affected individuals and notifying the appropriate authorities if required.

Our response framework is designed to protect people first. Where signs of modern slavery are detected, we will work to stop harmful practices, preserve evidence, and review whether immediate suspension of activity is necessary. We recognise that modern slavery risks can be hidden, and that careful attention is needed to uncover them. For that reason, we regularly assess our procedures and adapt them to changing operational conditions.

Annual review is central to the ongoing effectiveness of this statement. Each year, we evaluate our policies, supplier controls, training records, and reported concerns to determine whether improvements are needed. This review helps us measure progress, update our risk assessment, and set priorities for the next period. The Man With Van Barnsbury modern slavery statement will continue to evolve as we strengthen our practices and deepen our commitment to ethical business conduct.

We believe that combating modern slavery requires vigilance, responsibility, and consistent action. By applying a zero-tolerance policy, conducting supplier audits, maintaining reliable reporting channels, and completing an annual review, Man With Van Barnsbury aims to play its part in preventing exploitation and protecting human dignity throughout its business relationships.
