Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Harringay
Man With Van Harringay is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chains. We believe that a zero-tolerance approach is essential to safeguarding people, strengthening trust, and maintaining lawful and fair working practices.
As a Man With Van Harringay service provider, we recognise that the moving and transport sector can involve multiple subcontractors, suppliers, and temporary labour arrangements. For that reason, we assess risk carefully and expect the same standards from everyone we work with. We do not accept any form of abuse, coercion, debt bondage, child labour, or deceptive recruitment practices. All workers must be treated with dignity and fairness, regardless of role, location, or employment status.
Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, drivers, contractors, and suppliers connected to Man With Van Harringay. Any breach of this policy may result in immediate review and, where appropriate, termination of the business relationship. We require all parties to comply with relevant labour laws, provide accurate records, and use lawful terms of employment. This expectation is reinforced through onboarding, due diligence checks, and regular internal oversight.
Supplier audits are a central part of our modern slavery prevention approach. We carry out proportionate audits based on risk, focusing on recruitment methods, working hours, pay practices, identity document retention, and freedom of movement. Where concerns arise, we request corrective action and monitor progress. Suppliers who cannot demonstrate compliance may be suspended or removed from our approved list. This helps us maintain responsible standards across the Man With Van Harringay supply chain.
We also expect our commercial partners to maintain their own controls against exploitation. In practice, this means keeping transparent employment records, verifying the right to work, and ensuring workers are not subjected to threats or unlawful deductions. Risk-based supplier reviews support our ability to identify warning signs early and act decisively. Through these measures, the company seeks to protect vulnerable workers and promote ethical operations in every part of the business.
Reporting channels are available so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Staff and contractors are encouraged to report suspected misconduct, unsafe practices, or any sign of exploitation through internal reporting routes. Reports are handled confidentially and investigated promptly. We make clear that retaliation will not be tolerated, and anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith will be supported.
Governance, Training, and Accountability
Modern slavery risks are reviewed as part of our wider governance framework. Managers are responsible for ensuring that policies are followed and that staff understand how to identify warning signs such as restricted movement, unusual dependency, or inconsistent employment terms. Training materials are updated to reflect new risks and legal expectations. This helps keep Man With Van Harringay alert, informed, and responsive.
We also work to build awareness among those involved in recruitment and procurement. Where external labour is used, we expect transparent contracts, clear wage arrangements, and lawful working conditions. In addition, we review supplier relationships periodically to ensure continued alignment with our zero-tolerance policy. These controls help reduce the chance that hidden exploitation could enter our service model.
This statement is subject to an annual review so that it remains current, effective, and aligned with best practice. Each year, Man With Van Harringay examines its procedures, supplier audit results, training records, and any reported concerns to identify improvements. Where needed, we strengthen controls, update policies, and refresh reporting processes. Our commitment is ongoing: we will continue to act with integrity, vigilance, and respect for human rights in all aspects of our work.
