Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Nunhead

Man With Van Nunhead is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights across every part of our business. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address the risk of slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many industries, including transport, logistics, cleaning, maintenance, and procurement. For that reason, Man With Van Nunhead maintains a clear zero-tolerance approach to all forms of exploitation.

Our commitment applies to all employees, contractors, agency staff, and business partners. We expect everyone working with Man With Van Nunhead to uphold the highest ethical standards and to follow our policies on fair employment, lawful working practices, and responsible sourcing. We do not condone any practice that would place vulnerable people at risk or benefit from unsafe, unlawful, or exploitative labour arrangements.

We understand that prevention begins with strong governance. Therefore, our anti-slavery approach is embedded in recruitment, onboarding, procurement, and supplier selection. We seek to ensure that all workers are engaged voluntarily, are of lawful working age, and receive terms that meet legal and ethical expectations. Where concerns arise, they are treated seriously and investigated promptly.

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our approach. We assess business partners before engagement and review them periodically thereafter. This includes checking for indicators of labour exploitation, poor employment controls, excessive subcontracting, or unclear labour practices. Suppliers are expected to demonstrate compliance with all applicable labour laws and to share information needed for effective risk assessment.

Supplier audits are carried out on a risk-based basis, focusing on organisations and sectors most likely to present heightened vulnerability. These audits may include document reviews, workforce checks, and confirmation that wages, hours, and working conditions are lawful and fair. Where gaps are identified, corrective action plans may be required. Persistent failure to improve may result in suspension or termination of the relationship.

We also promote awareness throughout the organisation so that staff can recognise warning signs of modern slavery. These may include restriction of movement, withholding of documents, unexplained fearfulness, debt bondage, or evidence that workers are being controlled by another person. Training and internal communication help ensure that concerns are identified early and escalated appropriately.

Reporting channels are available to encourage concerns to be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Any employee, contractor, or supplier representative who suspects a breach of this statement can report it through internal management routes or our designated safeguarding process. Reports are handled confidentially wherever possible, and each concern is reviewed with urgency and care. Retaliation against a person who raises a genuine concern will not be tolerated.

We expect our business partners to cooperate fully with any enquiry relating to ethical labour practices. If modern slavery is suspected, we may seek further evidence, request immediate remediation, or notify the appropriate authorities where required. Our goal is not only compliance, but also meaningful prevention and responsible action when risks are discovered.

This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement. It is reviewed alongside wider governance, risk, and compliance activity to ensure that our controls remain effective and proportionate to the nature of our work.

The statement is subject to an annual review so that it remains current and responsive to changing risks, legal expectations, and operational developments. During each review cycle, we consider the effectiveness of supplier audits, internal reporting mechanisms, staff awareness, and corrective actions taken during the year. Where improvement is needed, updated measures are introduced and monitored.

Man With Van Nunhead believes that preventing exploitation is a shared responsibility. By maintaining a strict zero-tolerance policy, strengthening supplier audits, supporting secure reporting channels, and completing annual reviews, we work to ensure that our operations remain ethical, transparent, and respectful of human dignity.

We will continue to reinforce these standards across the business and expect all connected parties to uphold them. Through vigilance, accountability, and consistent action, Man With Van Nunhead aims to contribute to a supply chain and workplace environment free from modern slavery.
