Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Kew

Man With A Van Kew is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and in full respect of human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that every person involved in our work must be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers. We do not accept any form of coercion, debt bondage, child labour, or abusive working conditions. At Man With A Van Kew, we expect the same high standards from everyone acting on our behalf, and we will take immediate action where any breach is identified.

We understand that modern slavery can appear in many sectors, particularly where labour is outsourced or supply chains are complex. For this reason, Man With A Van Kew takes a proactive approach to identifying risk, assessing relationships, and ensuring that our van services, logistics arrangements, and procurement practices remain ethical and transparent.

Supplier Standards and Audits

All suppliers working with Man With A Van Kew are expected to comply with relevant labour laws, maintain safe working conditions, and uphold fair employment practices. As part of our due diligence, we conduct supplier checks before engagement and continue monitoring relationships over time. Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits to review labour standards, subcontracting practices, and evidence of responsible recruitment.

These audits may include document reviews, site visits, and verification of workforce management procedures. If concerns arise, we may request corrective action, increase monitoring, or terminate the relationship. Our commitment is clear: Man With A Van Kew will not knowingly support any organisation linked to modern slavery or exploitation.

Reporting Concerns and Protective Measures

We encourage anyone connected to our business to report concerns in good faith if they suspect misconduct, unsafe labour conditions, or unethical behaviour. Reports may be made internally through management channels or through any designated reporting process established by the business. All concerns are treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly.

We protect individuals who raise concerns from retaliation or victimisation. This commitment supports an open culture in which workers and partners can speak up without fear. Speaking up early helps us respond quickly, reduce harm, and strengthen the integrity of our operations. We also expect our suppliers to provide their own reporting routes and safeguards.

Training plays an important role in preventing modern slavery. Relevant team members receive guidance on recognising warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld pay, lack of personal documents, or unexplained third-party control. By improving awareness, Man With A Van Kew strengthens its ability to spot and address risk at an early stage.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with our business activities and legal obligations. Each annual review considers changes in supply chains, audit findings, reported concerns, and improvements to policy or training. Where needed, we update our controls and expectations to reflect emerging risks and good practice.
