Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Hackney

Man With Van Hackney is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights across every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including coercion, debt bondage, deception, and exploitation, and we take active steps to prevent these abuses in our operations and supply chains.

As a local moving and transport provider, Man With Van Hackney depends on trusted people, vehicles, materials, and service partners. We therefore maintain clear standards for ethical conduct and expect the same commitment from our suppliers, subcontractors, and business partners. Our approach is built on accountability, prevention, and continuous improvement, supported by internal checks and responsible procurement practices.

We assess risk in areas where exploitation may be more likely, such as outsourced labour, temporary staffing, cleaning, maintenance, packing materials, and transport-related services. Any sign of suspicious labour practices is treated seriously. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and apply corrective action where needed. Where a supplier cannot meet our standards, we will review the relationship and may suspend or end it.

Our Commitment and Due Diligence

Our anti-slavery controls begin at the point of supplier selection. We ask relevant suppliers to confirm that they comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. Where appropriate, we request evidence of policies, worker protections, and recruitment practices. This helps Man With Van Hackney reduce risk and strengthen transparency throughout the supply chain.

We also use supplier audits as part of our due diligence programme. These audits may include document checks, reviews of hiring records, and confirmation that workers are paid lawfully and treated fairly. The purpose of an audit is not only to identify non-compliance, but also to encourage improvement. When issues are found, suppliers are expected to act quickly and demonstrate corrective measures.

Training and awareness are important parts of our commitment. Managers involved in procurement, logistics, and operations are expected to understand the indicators of modern slavery and to respond appropriately. We promote a culture in which ethical concerns can be raised without hesitation, and we reinforce the message that exploitation has no place in Man With Van Hackney.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

We provide internal reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and supply chain partners can raise concerns about modern slavery or related misconduct. Reports may be made confidentially and will be handled sensitively. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and every report is reviewed by the appropriate responsible manager.

If a concern is substantiated, we will take proportionate action, which may include further investigation, suspension of work, supplier remediation plans, or termination of the relationship. Where necessary, we will also support referrals to the relevant authorities. This approach reflects our commitment to safeguarding people and maintaining trust in the services provided by Man With Van Hackney.

We keep records of incidents, reviews, and corrective actions to support learning and accountability. These records help us identify patterns, improve controls, and strengthen our procurement decisions over time. Our aim is to ensure that the standards associated with Man With Van Hackney removal services are consistent, lawful, and ethically responsible.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and aligned with current risks, legal requirements, and operational changes. Each review considers supplier performance, audit findings, reported concerns, and any updates to our internal policies. Where needed, we revise procedures, increase staff awareness, and strengthen due diligence controls.

We view the annual review as an important opportunity to improve our safeguards and demonstrate progress. Modern slavery risks can change over time, so our response must remain active and practical. By reviewing our practices each year, Man With Van Hackney reinforces its commitment to ethical business conduct and responsible supply chain management.

We are dedicated to preventing exploitation in all forms and to acting with integrity in every decision we make. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process, Hackney Man With Van service continues to uphold a clear and responsible stance against modern slavery. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to protect people, promote fairness, and support lawful, ethical operations.
