Modern Slavery Statement for Man With a Van Camden Town

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Man With a Van Camden Town to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere within our sphere of influence.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Man With a Van Camden Town has a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. This commitment applies to every aspect of our activities, including direct employment, subcontracted work, and all tiers of our supply chain. We will not knowingly work with any organisation, supplier, or individual involved in practices that are incompatible with this stance.

All employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to uphold the highest standards of human rights and labour practices. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of contracts or working relationships, as well as reporting to the relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Man With a Van Camden Town provides transport, removal, and related logistical services. Our operations rely on a combination of directly engaged staff, subcontracted drivers and porters, vehicle hire providers, fuel suppliers, and providers of equipment and packaging materials. We understand that risks relating to modern slavery can exist at various points within these supply chains, particularly where temporary, low-paid, or manual labour is involved.

We are committed to gaining clear visibility over our supply chain and ensuring that all parties connected with our services share our commitment to eliminating modern slavery.

Supplier Expectations and Audits

We require our suppliers and subcontractors to operate in full compliance with all relevant labour, employment, and human rights laws. As part of our supplier selection and onboarding process, we assess the ethical practices of potential partners and give preference to those who can demonstrate strong labour standards and responsible sourcing.

We reserve the right to conduct audits or request evidence from suppliers to verify compliance with our modern slavery requirements. Such audits may include reviewing policies, training materials, workforce records, and other relevant documentation. Where we identify concerns or potential risks, we will work with suppliers to develop corrective action plans. If a supplier is unwilling or unable to meet our standards within a reasonable timeframe, we may suspend or terminate the relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Man With a Van Camden Town encourages anyone connected with our business, including employees, subcontractors, suppliers, and customers, to raise concerns about potential or actual instances of modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Concerns can be raised verbally to management or in writing through internal reporting mechanisms made available to staff and key suppliers.

We are committed to ensuring that individuals who raise concerns in good faith are protected from retaliation, victimisation, or disadvantage. All reports will be treated seriously and, where appropriate, investigated promptly and impartially. Where modern slavery is suspected or identified, we will act swiftly to address the issue, which may include notifying relevant authorities and cooperating fully with any external investigation.

Training and Awareness

We recognise that awareness and understanding are essential to the prevention of modern slavery. Managers and team members who are involved in recruitment, supplier management, or subcontracting are made aware of the signs of modern slavery and the procedures for reporting concerns. We aim to improve this awareness over time through targeted communications and updates on best practice.

Monitoring, Annual Review, and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by the leadership of Man With a Van Camden Town to ensure it remains effective and aligned with legal requirements, guidance, and evolving best practice. As part of this review process, we will consider any incidents reported, outcomes of supplier audits, changes to our supply chain, and feedback from stakeholders.

Where gaps or opportunities for improvement are identified, we will update our policies, procedures, and training materials accordingly. Our goal is not only to comply with the law, but to contribute positively to the broader effort to eradicate modern slavery and protect vulnerable workers in the sectors in which we operate.

This statement reflects the position of Man With a Van Camden Town at the date of publication and applies to all our operations and business relationships for the current financial year.
