Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Ealing

At Man With Van Ealing, we recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative practices have no place in our business or in any part of our supply chain. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy and the practical steps we take to prevent, detect, and address any risk of abuse. As a responsible Man With Van in Ealing service provider, we are committed to acting with integrity, fairness, and respect in every aspect of our operations.

Our approach is built on compliance, accountability, and continuous improvement. We expect all employees, contractors, and third parties connected to Man With Van Ealing to uphold the same standards. Any form of coercion, deception, withholding of identity documents, restriction of movement, or unfair treatment is strictly prohibited. We also require ethical conduct in recruitment, working conditions, and subcontracting arrangements.

Our Commitment and Responsibilities

The management of Man With Van Ealing takes responsibility for ensuring this statement is understood and embedded across the business. We conduct risk-based due diligence when engaging suppliers, service partners, and subcontractors. This includes checking labour practices, reviewing working terms, and assessing whether any partner may present a higher exposure to modern slavery risks. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and, if necessary, terminate the relationship.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

To strengthen oversight, Man With Van Ealing carries out supplier audits on a scheduled and risk-sensitive basis. These audits may include document reviews, workforce checks, and questions about recruitment practices, wage payments, and the use of subcontracted labour. We pay close attention to sectors and processes where the risk of exploitation may be greater, such as temporary labour, transport support, warehousing, and outsourced services.

Our audit process is designed to identify warning signs early. If a supplier cannot demonstrate compliance, we ask for corrective action and set deadlines for improvement. Persistent failure to meet standards will lead to suspension or ending of the relationship. We also encourage suppliers to maintain their own anti-slavery controls and to extend these expectations to their suppliers, creating a wider culture of responsibility across the Man With Van Ealing supply network.

Training is an important part of prevention. Staff involved in procurement, scheduling, and operational oversight are briefed on how to recognise potential indicators of modern slavery, including unusual control over workers, reluctance to speak freely, poor accommodation conditions, or discrepancies in pay and hours. By strengthening awareness, Man With Van Ealing reduces the chance that abusive practices can remain hidden.

Reporting Channels and Safeguarding

We encourage everyone connected with Man With Van Ealing to raise concerns without delay. Reporting can be made through internal management channels, and all concerns are handled discreetly and with care. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports in good faith. Any allegation is treated seriously, assessed promptly, and escalated where needed so that appropriate action can be taken.

Our reporting channels are intended to support a culture of openness and protection. Whether a concern relates to recruitment, working hours, pay, coercion, document retention, or supplier behaviour, we aim to respond swiftly and fairly. Where a risk to an individual’s safety is identified, we prioritise safeguarding actions and cooperate with relevant authorities when appropriate. This reinforces the zero-tolerance policy at the heart of Man With Van Ealing.

Annual Review and Ongoing Improvement

This statement and our related controls are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, proportionate, and aligned with current legal and ethical expectations. The annual review considers supplier audit findings, reported concerns, training completion, and any emerging risks within the wider logistics and removals sector. Where improvements are needed, we update processes, strengthen monitoring, and refresh staff guidance.

Our goal is to make Man With Van Ealing a business that not only delivers reliable service, but also upholds human dignity in every decision. We are committed to ongoing vigilance, responsible procurement, and transparent action. By applying this modern slavery statement in practice, Man With Van Ealing continues to promote a safe, ethical, and law-abiding working environment.
