At Man With Van Wandsworth, we are committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in any form. We recognise that even a small moving and transport operation must take active steps to ensure that its people, suppliers, and working practices respect human rights.

Our commitment applies across all areas of the business, including recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and day-to-day operations. We expect everyone representing Man with Van Wandsworth to act with integrity and to uphold the highest standards of fairness. We do not accept any practice that involves coercion, debt bondage, child labour, or the withholding of documents, wages, or freedom of movement.

We also acknowledge that modern slavery risks may arise through third-party relationships. For that reason, Man With Van Wandsworth works to identify and reduce risks within our supply chain. We seek to work only with suppliers and contractors who can demonstrate lawful, ethical, and transparent practices. Any indication of abuse or concealment is treated as a serious matter and may result in immediate termination of the relationship.

Our supplier audits are a key part of this process. We review onboarding information, request confirmation of labour standards, and assess whether suppliers have appropriate policies in place. Where a higher level of risk is identified, we may carry out additional checks, ask for evidence of worker rights protections, or require corrective action plans. These audits help Man with Van Wandsworth maintain a responsible and accountable supply chain.

Reporting channels are available to ensure concerns can be raised safely and promptly. Any worker, contractor, or business partner who suspects modern slavery, unsafe treatment, or unethical conduct may report it through internal management routes. Reports are handled sensitively, and we do not permit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Protecting whistleblowers is essential to maintaining trust and transparency.

We train relevant team members to recognise warning signs, such as unusual restrictions on movement, signs of fear, unexplained deductions, or workers being controlled by others. If concerns arise, they are escalated immediately for investigation. In serious cases, we will cooperate with the appropriate authorities and take prompt action to protect those affected. This approach reflects our belief that ethical trade must be active, not passive.

Annual review of this statement and our procedures is carried out to ensure continuous improvement. We examine our risk profile, supplier performance, audit outcomes, and any incidents or concerns reported during the year. This review allows Man With Van Wandsworth to strengthen controls, update training, and improve due diligence where needed. It also ensures our statement remains practical, current, and aligned with legal expectations.

Our zero-tolerance policy is reinforced by clear internal accountability. Managers are expected to act when standards are not met, and decisions about procurement or subcontracting must reflect our ethical commitments. We believe responsible business practice supports long-term trust, protects vulnerable people, and promotes a fairer working environment across the logistics and removals sector.

This statement confirms the ongoing commitment of Man with Van Wandsworth to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our business. By maintaining strong controls, monitoring suppliers, enabling reporting, and reviewing our approach annually, we aim to ensure that dignity, legality, and respect remain central to everything we do.
