Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van South Norwood

Man With Van South Norwood is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that these offences can appear in many forms, including coercion, debt bondage, and deceptive recruitment practices, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any activity that undermines human dignity.

As a responsible Man With Van South Norwood service provider, we expect all staff, contractors, and suppliers to act ethically and comply with applicable labour laws. Our approach is grounded in clear internal standards, proportionate due diligence, and continuous awareness. We aim to ensure that every part of our moving and transport activity reflects our commitment to lawful, safe, and respectful working practices.

We review the nature of our relationships with suppliers and business partners to identify where risks may exist. This includes checking whether labour is sourced responsibly, whether workers are treated fairly, and whether employment terms are transparent. By maintaining clear expectations and documented standards, Man With Van South Norwood seeks to reduce the possibility of exploitation in any form.

Our Commitment and Governance

Our management team is responsible for embedding anti-slavery principles into everyday decision-making. We require compliance with our zero-tolerance policy and expect prompt action where concerns arise. In addition, relevant personnel receive guidance on spotting indicators of abuse, such as restricted freedom of movement, withholding of identity documents, excessive working hours, or unexplained wage deductions.

Supplier management is a central part of our controls. We carry out supplier audits and risk-based reviews to assess ethical standards, hiring practices, and labour conditions. Where a supplier is unable to meet our expectations, we seek corrective action within a defined timeframe. If serious issues are identified, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship. These measures help Man With Van South Norwood maintain a supply chain that reflects our values.

We also encourage open dialogue with workers and third parties who may identify concerns. Our reporting framework is designed to ensure that issues can be raised without fear of retaliation. This is essential to building trust and to ensuring that suspicions are investigated quickly and appropriately.

Reporting Channels and Employee Responsibility

Anyone working with or for Man With Van South Norwood is expected to report potential breaches of this statement immediately. Reporting channels include line management, designated internal compliance contacts, and formal incident reporting routes. All concerns are treated seriously, documented carefully, and assessed confidentially. We promote a culture in which speaking up is seen as a duty rather than a risk.

Reports may relate to recruitment fees, passport retention, unsafe accommodation, coercion, intimidation, or any sign that a worker may not be acting freely. Where appropriate, we will support any necessary investigation and take remedial steps to protect those affected. Our goal is not only to respond to incidents but also to prevent recurrence through stronger controls and improved oversight.

Training and awareness are part of this responsibility. Staff involved in purchasing, subcontracting, and operational planning are expected to remain alert to indicators of exploitation. By keeping modern slavery awareness visible, Man With Van South Norwood strengthens its ability to detect risk early and act decisively.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal obligations and operational realities. The review considers audit findings, supplier performance, reported concerns, and any changes to risk exposure. If improvements are needed, we update our controls, strengthen our procedures, and refine our training accordingly.

We recognise that preventing modern slavery requires vigilance over time. For that reason, Man With Van South Norwood will continue to assess its practices, reinforce accountability, and improve transparency across its supply chain. The effectiveness of our measures depends on consistent application and a willingness to learn from review outcomes.

Man With Van South Norwood remains firmly committed to ethical operations and the protection of human rights. Through our zero-tolerance approach, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and annual review cycle, we work to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chain.
