Man With Van Stockwell is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that every worker deserves to be treated with dignity, and we apply a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation.

Our business relies on trustworthy relationships with customers, suppliers, and subcontractors. To protect those relationships, we expect all parties connected to Man With Van Stockwell to comply with applicable labour laws and ethical standards. We do not knowingly engage with any organisation that benefits from unlawful or abusive working practices. This commitment applies to recruitment, transport services, subcontracted work, and the sourcing of goods and support services.

We understand that modern slavery can take many forms, including debt bondage, coercion, withheld pay, and unsafe working conditions. For that reason, Man With Van Stockwell continuously reviews how risks may arise in both direct operations and extended supplier networks. We expect all personnel to remain alert to warning signs and to act responsibly if concerns are identified.

A central part of our approach is due diligence. Before entering into new supplier arrangements, we assess whether the partner shares our ethical values and operating standards. Where appropriate, we request information on employment practices, worker protections, and subcontracting arrangements. Supplier audits are carried out periodically, especially where services involve labour-intensive work or where risk factors may be higher. These audits may include document reviews, site visits, and verification of payroll and right-to-work processes.

When issues are found, we require prompt corrective action. If a supplier fails to address concerns, we may suspend or terminate the relationship. This applies equally to direct suppliers and any tier of subcontractor supporting Man With Van Stockwell. We believe that ethical performance is not optional; it is a fundamental condition of doing business with us.

We also train relevant staff to recognise indicators of exploitation and to understand how to respond appropriately. Training is kept practical and focused on the realities of work in logistics, removals, and related services. By building awareness, we strengthen our ability to identify risks early and reinforce our zero-tolerance policy across the organisation.

Reporting concerns is an essential part of prevention. Anyone who suspects modern slavery, poor labour practices, or unsafe treatment may raise the matter through internal reporting channels. Reports are handled seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to speak up if they see something that does not align with the values of Man With Van Stockwell.

All concerns are reviewed by responsible management, and appropriate action is taken in line with the seriousness of the issue. This may include further investigation, supplier escalation, immediate risk controls, or referral to external authorities where required. We aim to ensure that all reports lead to meaningful review and, where necessary, corrective or preventive measures.

This statement is not static. We recognise that risks can change over time as our business grows and our supply chain evolves. For that reason, our approach is supported by a formal annual review process. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our controls, consider new risk areas, and update our procedures where improvements are needed.

The annual review also considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any legal or regulatory changes relevant to modern slavery prevention. Where gaps are identified, we take action to strengthen compliance and improve awareness. Through this ongoing commitment, Man With Van Stockwell seeks to ensure that our operations remain ethical, accountable, and aligned with the highest standards of responsible business conduct.
