Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Morden

Man With A Van Morden is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery is a serious violation of personal freedom and dignity, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, child labour, and any form of exploitation within our operations or supply chain.

Our approach applies to all employees, contractors, partners, and suppliers associated with Man With A Van Morden. We expect everyone working with us to uphold lawful and ethical standards. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to preventing abuse, identifying risks, and acting promptly where concerns arise. We aim to ensure that every service delivered under the name Man With A Van Morden is supported by fair treatment and responsible practice.

Our Commitment and Governance

Senior management is responsible for overseeing modern slavery prevention measures. This includes reviewing policy implementation, ensuring training is appropriate, and making sure the business responds effectively to any indication of exploitation. We promote a culture in which ethical conduct is expected, and where workers understand that any breach of our standards will be taken seriously.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We recognise that risk can exist beyond our direct workforce, particularly in procurement and subcontracted services. For that reason, supplier audits are an essential part of our due diligence process. We assess suppliers before engagement and continue monitoring them through periodic checks, documentation reviews, and, where necessary, onsite audits. These measures help us identify whether a supplier is managing labour practices responsibly and complying with relevant legislation.

Where concerns are identified, we expect immediate corrective action. If a supplier fails to meet our standards or refuses to address significant issues, we may suspend or end the relationship. The same expectation applies to all Man With A Van Morden partners involved in transport, storage, loading, and related support activities. Our objective is not only compliance, but proactive prevention.

Risk Awareness and Training

We provide suitable training so that staff can recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, signs of coercion, or unsafe living and working arrangements. Training also covers how to respond calmly and responsibly if a concern is raised. By increasing awareness, Man With A Van Morden strengthens its ability to detect risk early and take swift action.

Reporting Channels and Safe Disclosure

We want concerns to be raised without fear. Any employee, contractor, or supplier who suspects exploitation may report it through our internal reporting channels, which are designed to be accessible, confidential, and handled respectfully. Reports can be made in good faith, and retaliation against anyone who raises a concern is strictly prohibited. This is a key part of our zero-tolerance approach.

All reports are reviewed promptly, and where necessary, escalated to senior management for investigation. If a case suggests immediate harm or criminal activity, we will cooperate with the appropriate authorities and take decisive protective action. The safety of individuals comes before commercial convenience, and we are committed to acting on concerns with urgency and care.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

Our modern slavery controls are not static. We review risk indicators regularly and update our procedures as needed to reflect operational changes, supplier developments, and legal expectations. Where improvements are identified, they are built into training, audits, and management oversight. This helps ensure our standards remain relevant and effective.

Annual Review

This statement and the supporting framework are subject to an annual review. Each year we assess the effectiveness of our actions, consider any incidents or near misses, and refine our controls where needed. The review includes supplier performance, audit findings, staff awareness, and any reported concerns. This process supports accountability and drives continual improvement across Man With A Van Morden.

We believe that consistent review is essential to maintaining meaningful safeguards. By keeping our policies current and enforcing our standards without exception, we reduce the risk of modern slavery in our business and supply chain. We remain committed to lawful, ethical, and responsible operations at every level of the company.

Conclusion Man With A Van Morden will continue to take practical steps to prevent exploitation, strengthen supplier oversight, and encourage safe reporting. Through vigilance, training, audits, and review, we reaffirm our commitment to respecting human rights and maintaining a business environment free from modern slavery.
