Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Chiswick

Man With A Van Chiswick is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chains. We recognise that transport, removals, and logistics services can involve multiple suppliers, seasonal labour, and subcontracted activity, which is why we remain alert to the risks associated with unethical working practices.

Our commitment applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers acting on behalf of Man With A Van Chiswick. We require everyone associated with the business to uphold lawful employment standards and to act with honesty and accountability. Any breach of this expectation is treated as a serious matter, and we will take decisive action where concerns are identified. Modern slavery has no place in our business, and we work proactively to prevent it from occurring.

To support this commitment, we use a risk-based approach to supplier management. Man With A Van Chiswick expects suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or child labour and that they follow fair recruitment and pay practices. We carry out supplier due diligence and, where appropriate, supplier audits to review employment records, subcontracting arrangements, and working conditions. These checks help us identify warning signs early and encourage continuous improvement throughout the supply chain.

When supplier audits reveal weaknesses, we request corrective action and monitor progress against agreed timeframes. If a supplier fails to demonstrate acceptable standards or shows unwillingness to improve, we may suspend or end the relationship. This approach reflects our belief that responsible business must be backed by practical oversight. We also seek to work with organisations that share our values and can evidence compliance with labour, wage, and health and safety obligations.

We understand that effective prevention depends on awareness. Therefore, staff involved in procurement, scheduling, and operational management receive guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation, such as restricted movement, excessive working hours, withheld documents, or unexplained third-party control. Man With A Van Chiswick promotes a culture in which concerns are taken seriously and recorded promptly. Our internal controls are designed to reduce risk and support ethical decision-making at every level.

Reporting concerns is essential to our safeguarding framework. Employees, suppliers, and workers connected to the business are encouraged to raise issues through our internal reporting channels, including line management, designated senior oversight, and confidential whistleblowing procedures. Reports may be made without fear of retaliation, and all concerns are handled sensitively and investigated appropriately. We aim to protect anyone who speaks up and to ensure that potential cases of exploitation are escalated quickly.

Our Ongoing Responsibility

We also expect our subcontractors and partner organisations to maintain the same standards. Any indication that labour has been obtained through coercion, deception, or abuse of vulnerability is incompatible with our values. Man With A Van Chiswick will continue to strengthen contractual expectations so that ethical conduct is embedded in supplier relationships. Where necessary, we will review onboarding procedures and monitoring activity to keep pace with evolving risks.

Our leadership team is responsible for ensuring that this statement is implemented and reviewed effectively. They oversee policy compliance, review incidents, and confirm that remediation steps are taken where concerns arise. Man With A Van Chiswick believes that strong governance helps prevent abuse, protects workers, and supports a resilient and responsible service model. By maintaining clear accountability, we reinforce the seriousness of our zero-tolerance stance.

This statement will be subject to an annual review so that we can assess its effectiveness, consider changes in legislation or industry risk, and update our controls where needed. The review process includes examining supplier performance, reported concerns, and training needs. Man With A Van Chiswick is committed to ongoing improvement, not only to comply with legal expectations but to uphold the ethical standards that define our business.

Modern slavery statement responsibilities are not static; they require consistent attention, practical monitoring, and honest reflection. We will continue to refine our procedures as our business develops and as new risks emerge in the wider supply chain. Our aim is to ensure that every person connected to our operations is treated with dignity, fairness, and respect.

In closing, Man With A Van Chiswick confirms its unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery in all forms. Through a clear zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and annual review, we will continue to uphold responsible business practices and protect human rights across our operations and partnerships.
