Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van East Sheen

Man With Van East Sheen is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and actions we apply to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in any part of our operations. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, including hidden exploitation within supply chains, subcontracted services, and temporary labour arrangements.

As a local Man With Van East Sheen service provider, we understand that trust is earned through consistent standards. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery. This applies to all employees, managers, contractors, and suppliers associated with our work. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may lead to immediate termination of business relationships, disciplinary action, or reporting to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our approach begins with prevention. We carry out due diligence when selecting suppliers and partners, taking reasonable steps to understand their labour practices, recruitment methods, and working conditions. For higher-risk relationships, we request written confirmation of compliance with anti-slavery standards and review available documentation to ensure expectations are clear.

Supplier management is a key part of our safeguarding process. We conduct supplier audits on a risk-based basis, focusing on those providing labour, transport support, equipment, or outsourced services. These audits may include policy reviews, verification of worker status, checks on wages and hours, and assessment of whether workers are free from coercion, debt bondage, or retained identification documents. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action and monitor progress closely.

To strengthen accountability, Man With Van East Sheen expects suppliers to uphold the same ethical standards we apply internally. We also reserve the right to suspend or end engagement with any supplier that fails to demonstrate adequate controls. This helps ensure that our operations do not inadvertently support exploitation at any stage of the service chain.

We encourage anyone connected to our business to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reporting channels are available for staff, contractors, and supplier personnel to report suspected wrongdoing, unsafe recruitment practices, unusual payment arrangements, or signs of coercion. All concerns are handled confidentially and investigated promptly by the appropriate internal lead. Reports may be made anonymously where allowed, and no one will suffer detriment for speaking up in good faith.

Training and awareness also support our commitment. Relevant team members receive guidance on recognising indicators of modern slavery, such as restricted movement, poor living conditions, unexplained deductions from pay, or individuals appearing unable to speak freely. By improving awareness, Man With Van East Sheen reduces the chance that exploitation goes unnoticed.

We keep records of due diligence, supplier assessments, concerns raised, and actions taken. These records help us monitor patterns and improve controls over time. Where necessary, we work with external specialists or relevant bodies to better understand emerging risks in labour supply and transport-related services.

Annual review is an essential part of this statement. At least once every year, we assess the effectiveness of our measures, review any incidents or near misses, and update our procedures to reflect legal changes, operational developments, and lessons learned. This review ensures our anti-slavery commitments remain practical, current, and effective.

Man With Van East Sheen remains dedicated to operating with integrity and diligence. We believe that ethical business practices are not optional; they are fundamental to our identity and to the quality of service we provide. Our commitment is ongoing, and we will continue to improve our controls wherever risk exists.

Through a clear zero-tolerance stance, regular supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and a disciplined annual review process, Man With Van East Sheen takes meaningful action to help prevent modern slavery and protect vulnerable workers throughout our business and supply relationships.
