Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Hampstead

At Man With A Van Hampstead, we are committed to conducting our business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and actions we apply to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in any part of our operations. We recognise that zero tolerance is essential, and we expect the same standard from everyone who supports our services.

Our approach is grounded in accountability. Whether we are arranging removals, handling logistics, or working with external partners, we aim to ensure that every worker is treated lawfully and ethically. The policy of Man With A Van Hampstead is clear: no form of exploitation will be accepted, overlooked, or concealed.

We understand that risks can arise in labour-intensive sectors, transport services, and outsourced supply chains. For that reason, our modern slavery prevention measures are designed to identify warning signs early and respond decisively. We maintain internal checks, staff awareness, and supplier scrutiny to help protect vulnerable individuals and uphold responsible business conduct.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers. No person working with or for Man With A Van Hampstead may engage in, facilitate, or benefit from modern slavery in any form. This includes withholding wages, coercion, debt bondage, document retention, and the abuse of power over workers.

All recruitment and onboarding processes are expected to follow lawful and ethical standards. We require fair pay, voluntary participation, and transparent terms of work. If any concern arises, it is investigated promptly and may lead to immediate suspension or termination of the relationship.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We carry out proportionate supplier audits and due diligence reviews to assess the risk of exploitation within our supply chain. These checks may include reviewing trading practices, labour policies, ownership structures, and evidence of compliance with employment law.

Suppliers are expected to demonstrate that they operate responsibly and respect workers’ rights. Where necessary, we request additional information, require corrective actions, or discontinue cooperation if standards are not met. This is an essential part of maintaining a safe and ethical service environment for Man With A Van Hampstead.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

We encourage employees, contractors, and supply partners to report any suspicion of modern slavery or unethical conduct immediately. Concerns may be raised through internal reporting channels, including line management and designated compliance contacts. Reports are handled sensitively, and no retaliation will be tolerated against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

All allegations are reviewed confidentially and escalated where required. If a risk is identified, we act quickly to protect affected individuals, preserve evidence, and engage the appropriate internal decision-makers. We believe that clear reporting pathways are vital to maintaining trust and transparency across Man With A Van Hampstead.

Our staff are reminded that vigilance matters. Signs such as restricted movement, unusually long hours, or dependence on a single controller may indicate exploitation. By recognising these indicators early, we strengthen our ability to prevent harm and support ethical operations.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement and the measures behind it are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and relevant. The review considers operational changes, supplier performance, emerging risks, and any incidents or concerns reported during the year. Where improvements are needed, we update our procedures and training accordingly.

Annual review is not a formality; it is a commitment to continuous improvement. We aim to strengthen awareness, refine audit methods, and reinforce our zero-tolerance culture across every area of the business. Modern slavery prevention is an ongoing responsibility, and we treat it as such.

Through these measures, Man With A Van Hampstead seeks to operate responsibly, protect human dignity, and ensure that our services are delivered without exploitation. We remain committed to maintaining ethical standards, monitoring risk, and acting decisively whenever concerns arise.
