Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Kensalgreen
Man With Van Kensalgreen is committed to conducting business in an ethical, lawful, and transparent manner. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and exploitative working practices within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, storage, subcontracted labour, and associated support services. As a responsible man with van provider, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of exploitation and expect the same standard from every party working with us.
Our commitment applies to all parts of our business, including vehicle support, logistics coordination, outsourced services, and any third-party suppliers or contractors. We believe that a strong anti-slavery approach must be embedded in daily practice rather than treated as a one-time declaration. For that reason, our team receives clear instructions on recognising warning signs, reporting concerns, and responding appropriately when risks arise. The principles in this statement apply equally to permanent staff, temporary workers, and external partners engaged by the company.
We understand that a modern slavery risk assessment must be practical and ongoing. Accordingly, Man With Van Kensalgreen reviews supplier relationships before engagement and periodically thereafter to identify potential labour exploitation risks. We look carefully at working conditions, recruitment methods, wage practices, and subcontracting arrangements. Where concerns are identified, we request corrective action, additional evidence, or, if necessary, discontinue the relationship. This approach helps ensure that our Man With Van Kensalgreen services are delivered through ethical and accountable practices.
Supplier Standards and Due Diligence
All suppliers are expected to confirm compliance with applicable labour laws and to uphold internationally recognised human rights standards. We seek assurance that no supplier uses coercive recruitment fees, passport retention, debt bondage, or any other abusive practice. Supplier onboarding includes proportionate due diligence, and higher-risk partners may be subject to enhanced checks. These may include review of business registration details, labour policies, subcontractor controls, and evidence of safe, fair employment conditions. Our Man With Van Kensalgreen procurement decisions consider both service quality and ethical conduct.
In addition to initial screening, we carry out supplier audits where appropriate. These audits may be announced or unannounced, depending on risk level and contractual arrangements. Audits are designed to verify wage compliance, working hours, worker freedom, and the absence of forced labour indicators. If a supplier falls short of our standards, we may require a written improvement plan, follow-up review, or immediate termination in severe cases. We regard supplier audits as a vital safeguard rather than a symbolic measure.
Internally, we promote a culture where workers are encouraged to speak up without fear of retaliation. Any concern relating to modern slavery, unsafe recruitment, unreasonable deductions, or suspicious labour arrangements is taken seriously. Managers are instructed to escalate reports promptly and to preserve confidentiality wherever possible. We recognise that prevention depends not only on policies, but on day-to-day vigilance from everyone connected with the business.
Reporting Channels and Escalation
We have established clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised quickly and handled responsibly. Reports may be made to line managers, senior management, or designated compliance personnel through internal processes. All allegations are reviewed promptly, and records are maintained to support investigation and corrective action. Where a report suggests immediate danger or serious exploitation, urgent steps are taken to protect affected individuals and to inform appropriate authorities when required by law.
Our reporting framework is designed to be accessible and supportive. We encourage anyone involved with the company to report suspicious behaviour, including signs of coercion, restricted movement, or unexplained control over pay and identity documents. Man With Van Kensalgreen does not tolerate victimisation, intimidation, or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. This protection is essential to ensuring that problems are identified early and addressed effectively.
Annual review is a key part of our governance approach. At least once every year, this statement is reviewed by senior management to assess whether our policies, risk controls, training, supplier checks, and reporting arrangements remain effective. The review also considers emerging risks, changes in legislation, and lessons learned from incidents or audits. Where improvements are needed, we update our procedures and assign responsibility for implementation. This ensures that our anti-slavery response remains current and proportionate.
Continuous Improvement and Accountability
Man With Van Kensalgreen will continue strengthening its controls through better training, closer supplier engagement, and regular oversight of risk areas. We will also keep reinforcing awareness of the signs of modern slavery so that staff and partners can act decisively when concerns arise. Our objective is not only to comply with legal requirements, but to support fair treatment, dignity, and lawful working conditions across our operations and supply chain. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible business conduct and ethical service delivery.
Approval
This statement has been approved by the management of Man With Van Kensalgreen and is intended to guide our current and future actions in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking.
