Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Neasden

Man With Van Neasden is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking, child labour, and exploitation, remains a serious global issue. As a responsible Man With Van Neasden service provider, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery within our operations or supply chains.

Our approach applies to all employees, contractors, suppliers, and partners associated with Man With Van Neasden removals and transport activities. We expect everyone working with us to uphold lawful and ethical standards. This statement reflects our commitment to identifying risks, preventing abuse, and taking decisive action where concerns arise.

We require all suppliers to comply with applicable employment, safeguarding, and labour laws. As part of our due diligence, we assess labour practices, working conditions, and the transparency of subcontracting arrangements. Where appropriate, supplier audits are conducted to verify compliance and to identify potential areas of concern, especially in higher-risk categories.

Our Due Diligence and Risk Controls

We recognise that modern slavery risks can arise in logistics, warehousing, vehicle maintenance, cleaning, and outsourced services. For that reason, Man With Van Neasden applies a risk-based review process when selecting and monitoring suppliers. New and existing suppliers may be asked to confirm their own anti-slavery controls, staff training, and recruitment practices. Where necessary, we reserve the right to suspend or end relationships if breaches are identified.

Internal checks support this process by helping us identify warning signs such as unusually low labour costs, restricted worker freedom, withheld identity documents, or unsafe working arrangements. We also encourage managers to remain alert to indicators of exploitation during day-to-day operations. Our aim is to ensure that every Man With Van Neasden moving service is delivered ethically and responsibly.

Training and awareness are central to prevention. Team members are reminded to understand the meaning of modern slavery, how it can appear in practice, and what action to take if concerns emerge. This reinforces our belief that ethical conduct is not optional but essential to sustainable business.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised quickly and handled appropriately. Any worker, supplier, or stakeholder who suspects misconduct is encouraged to report it through internal management routes or designated safeguarding processes. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with confidentiality wherever possible.

We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Protecting whistleblowers is an important part of our culture, and all reports are reviewed with care and fairness. If a case suggests possible criminal activity or serious abuse, we will escalate it to the relevant authorities and take immediate protective action.

Man With Van Neasden expects transparency from every partner in the supply chain. If a supplier cannot demonstrate ethical labour standards or refuses cooperation during an investigation, that relationship may be reviewed or terminated. This approach helps us maintain trust and strengthen accountability across our operations.

Review, Responsibility, and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and business practices. Each review considers emerging risks, audit findings, supplier performance, and any reports raised during the year. Where improvements are needed, we update our policies, procedures, and training accordingly.

Man With Van Neasden is committed to continuous improvement and to working only with people and organisations that share our values. By maintaining vigilance, strengthening supplier audits, and supporting safe reporting, we aim to help prevent exploitation and protect human dignity throughout the services we provide.
