Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Nottinghill
Man With Van Nottinghill is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Man With Van Nottinghill to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that vigilance is essential in the removals and transport sector, where multiple suppliers, contractors, and temporary work arrangements can increase risk. Accordingly, Man With Van Nottinghill applies a clear zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery.
Our commitment extends across every part of the business, including recruitment, procurement, fleet support, and subcontracted services. We expect all personnel to act with integrity and to uphold the highest standards of conduct. The leadership team reviews compliance regularly and ensures that modern slavery risks are considered in decision-making. In practical terms, this means we assess labour practices, working hours, pay conditions, and identity verification to reduce the possibility of abuse.
A central part of our approach is due diligence. Before engaging suppliers, contractors, or service partners, Man With Van Nottinghill requires them to confirm compliance with labour and human rights laws. We reserve the right to request documentation, evaluate employment practices, and terminate relationships where unacceptable risks are identified. Supplier expectations are clearly communicated, and our procurement process is designed to support responsible selection and ongoing oversight.
We also carry out supplier audits based on risk. These audits may include checks on payroll records, worker identification procedures, subcontracting arrangements, and evidence of lawful working conditions. Where concerns are raised, we investigate promptly and require corrective action. If a supplier fails to address serious issues, we will suspend or end the relationship. This approach helps ensure that Man With Van Nottinghill only works with partners who share our ethical standards.
Training and awareness are important safeguards. Managers and relevant team members receive guidance on recognising warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld documents, unexplained deductions, or signs of coercion. We also encourage staff to remain alert to irregular recruitment practices and hidden labour exploitation. By promoting awareness, Nottinghill Man With Van strengthens its ability to identify and respond to risks early.
Our reporting framework is designed to be safe, accessible, and confidential. Anyone connected with the business may raise concerns about suspected exploitation, unsafe labour conditions, or unethical conduct through internal reporting channels. Reports are reviewed seriously, investigated where appropriate, and handled with discretion. We prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, because speaking up is a vital part of preventing abuse.
Where a concern is substantiated, we take prompt corrective action. This may include enhanced monitoring, supplier remediation, disciplinary measures, or termination of a commercial relationship. We keep records of concerns raised, investigations completed, and actions taken so that lessons can be learned and controls improved. Our aim is not only to respond to problems, but also to prevent them from recurring.
To support continuous improvement, Man With Van Nottinghill conducts an annual review of this statement and the wider effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures. The review considers changes in legislation, supplier performance, audit findings, staff training needs, and any incidents reported during the year. This process allows us to identify emerging risks and strengthen our controls where necessary. It also ensures that our approach remains proportionate, current, and effective.
Modern slavery can exist in hidden forms, and no business is immune. For that reason, Man With Van Nottinghill remains committed to ongoing vigilance, responsible procurement, and respectful treatment of every person involved in our work. By maintaining a zero-tolerance stance, strengthening supplier audits, supporting secure reporting channels, and completing annual reviews, we aim to contribute to a fairer and safer working environment across our operations and supply chain.
