Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van South Kensington

Man With Van South Kensington is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Man With Van South Kensington to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and any form of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward slavery and human trafficking and expect the same standard from every supplier, contractor, and business partner associated with our services.

As a provider of moving and transport services, Man With Van South Kensington recognises that labour-intensive industries can face heightened risks. We therefore apply proportionate controls to identify, assess, and reduce those risks. Our commitment is embedded in recruitment, procurement, and operational decision-making, ensuring that every person working with or for us is treated fairly, lawfully, and with dignity. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation that fails to uphold these principles.

Our employees are encouraged to remain alert to warning signs of exploitation, including restricted movement, withheld documents, unrealistic working conditions, or unexplained dependency on a third party. Training and internal awareness initiatives help staff understand how to recognise concerns and respond appropriately. Through clear internal expectations, Man With Van South Kensington reinforces that ethical conduct is not optional; it is a fundamental condition of doing business with us.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Supplier relationships are reviewed using a risk-based approach. Before engaging any supplier, we assess the nature of the service, the location of the work, and the likelihood of labour-related risk. Where needed, Man With Van South Kensington seeks assurances regarding worker pay, right-to-work checks, subcontracting controls, and safe working practices. We require suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour in any part of their operations.

We also conduct supplier audits where appropriate. These audits may include document checks, contract reviews, and verification of working arrangements. If a concern is identified, we request corrective action within a defined timeframe and monitor progress closely. Repeated or serious non-compliance may result in suspension or termination of the relationship. This approach helps ensure that Man With Van South Kensington only works with partners who share our ethical standards.

In addition, procurement decisions are guided by transparency and accountability. We encourage open disclosure from suppliers regarding their own due diligence processes and any third-party labour they may use. By strengthening oversight across the supply chain, Man With Van South Kensington aims to reduce hidden risks and maintain a responsible service model.

Reporting, Response, and Governance

Concerns about modern slavery can be raised through internal reporting channels, which are available to employees, contractors, and relevant stakeholders. Reports are handled confidentially and reviewed promptly by management. Where necessary, concerns are escalated for investigation and, if appropriate, reported to the relevant authorities. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith.

When an issue is reported, the response may include immediate risk assessment, suspension of a supplier relationship, enhanced monitoring, or support for affected individuals. Man With Van South Kensington takes every allegation seriously and seeks to act in a way that protects vulnerable people and preserves the integrity of our business. Our governance arrangements ensure that modern slavery risk remains visible at senior level and is addressed with urgency.

This statement reflects the standards expected across Man With Van South Kensington and is supported by management oversight. Modern slavery is a serious crime and a grave violation of human rights; therefore, our controls are designed to prevent harm before it occurs. We continuously review recruitment practices, contractor arrangements, and supplier relationships to make sure they remain consistent with our ethical commitments.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal and operational developments. During the review cycle, Man With Van South Kensington assesses incidents, audit outcomes, supplier performance, and any changes in risk profile. Where improvements are needed, we update our procedures, strengthen due diligence, and refresh staff awareness measures.

Continuous improvement is central to our approach. By reviewing lessons learned and adapting our controls, Man With Van South Kensington aims to maintain a resilient framework that supports ethical trade, fair labour practices, and accountability across our business. Through ongoing vigilance, supplier engagement, and responsible oversight, we reaffirm our commitment to eliminating modern slavery in all its forms.
