Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Haringey
Man With Van Haringey is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and exploitation have no place in our operations or supply chain. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy, the steps we take to reduce risk, and the standards we expect from employees, partners, and suppliers.
Our commitment applies to every part of the business, including recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and the delivery of moving and transport services. We expect all those working with Man With Van Haringey to act with integrity and to help ensure that vulnerable people are never subjected to abuse, coercion, or unlawful working practices.
We understand that businesses providing removal and logistics services can face risks linked to labour exploitation, especially where supply chains are extended or work is seasonal. For that reason, Haringey Man With Van maintains a structured approach to identifying, preventing, and addressing these risks.
Our zero-tolerance policy means that any form of slavery, servitude, or forced labour is strictly prohibited. We do not knowingly engage workers who are under unlawful conditions, and we require everyone involved in our operations to follow fair employment practices. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take decisive action.
Supplier due diligence is an important part of our safeguarding approach. We carry out supplier audits and periodic reviews to assess labour standards, working conditions, document checks, and ethical compliance. These audits may include requests for policy documents, confirmation of lawful employment status, and verification that wages, hours, and treatment of workers meet legal and ethical expectations.
If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we will require immediate corrective action or end the relationship where necessary. Man With Van Haringey reserves the right to suspend or terminate arrangements if there is evidence of exploitation, deception, or deliberate non-compliance with this statement.
We also maintain clear reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and supply chain partners can raise concerns in confidence. Reports may relate to suspected exploitation, unsafe recruitment practices, withheld wages, identity document retention, or any conduct that may indicate modern slavery. All concerns are treated seriously, investigated discreetly, and handled without retaliation.
Training and awareness are central to our prevention efforts. Team members involved in hiring, onboarding, purchasing, and service coordination receive guidance on how to recognise warning signs, including restricted freedom of movement, intimidation, unusual dependency, or signs that a person is not acting voluntarily. This helps Man With Van Haringey respond quickly and appropriately when issues arise.
We encourage a culture where ethical conduct is expected at every level. By maintaining honest communication, proportionate checks, and respectful management practices, Man With Van Haringey aims to reduce the risk of harmful labour practices and strengthen accountability throughout the business.
Oversight of this statement is reviewed by senior management, who are responsible for monitoring compliance and ensuring that anti-slavery measures remain effective. Information from audits, incident reports, and supplier assessments is considered when deciding whether additional controls are needed.
We will conduct an annual review of this statement and our related controls to confirm that they continue to reflect current legal requirements, business activities, and risk levels. The review will consider any incidents, changes in our supply chain, and improvements in safeguarding procedures.
This statement represents the ongoing commitment of Man With Van Haringey to operate lawfully, ethically, and transparently. We will continue to strengthen our practices, uphold our zero-tolerance policy, and work only with those who share our determination to prevent modern slavery in all its forms.
