Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Chadwellheath

Man With Van Chadwellheath is committed to conducting business in a lawful, ethical, and responsible manner. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach to preventing slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in all parts of our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect any sector and any workforce, and we accept our responsibility to remain vigilant.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every aspect of our service delivery, from recruitment and subcontracting to supplier relationships and day-to-day working practices. We do not knowingly engage with any person or organisation involved in exploitation. Any suspicion of abuse is taken seriously and investigated promptly. We expect all workers, managers, and business partners to uphold the same high standards.

We also recognise that the Man With Van Chadwellheath supply chain may involve third-party support such as vehicle maintenance, equipment provision, packaging, and waste handling. For that reason, we assess risks before entering into new arrangements and review existing relationships where concerns arise. Our due diligence process is designed to identify warning signs, reduce vulnerability, and reinforce ethical conduct at every level.

Supplier oversight is a key part of our strategy. We carry out supplier audits proportionate to the level of risk presented, using document checks, performance reviews, and where appropriate, site inspections. These audits help us confirm that suppliers share our zero-tolerance stance and that they maintain fair working conditions, lawful employment practices, and transparent records. If a supplier fails to meet expectations, we require corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship.

Recruitment within Man With Van Chadwellheath is handled carefully to ensure that every worker is eligible to work, understands their terms, and is treated with dignity. We avoid practices that could create dependency or conceal exploitation, and we aim to build a culture where workers can speak openly. Training and internal awareness are used to help staff recognise indicators such as coercion, restricted movement, withheld pay, or unusual control over documents.

We encourage everyone connected with our business to report concerns without delay. Our reporting channels include line management escalation, internal safeguarding routes, and confidential reporting to designated senior staff. Concerns may relate to recruitment, pay, working hours, transport arrangements, subcontracting, or supplier behaviour. All reports are handled discreetly, and retaliation is not tolerated. We aim to respond quickly, protect individuals at risk, and take appropriate remedial steps.

In cases where modern slavery indicators are identified, we will act in line with our ethical and legal obligations. This may include pausing work, re-checking supplier credentials, speaking with the relevant parties, or notifying the appropriate authorities when necessary. Our focus is on prevention first, but where harm has occurred we will prioritise safety, cooperation, and responsible resolution.

Man With Van Chadwellheath understands that effective action requires continuous improvement. We therefore maintain records of assessments, audits, and concerns raised, allowing us to track trends and strengthen our controls over time. This evidence-based approach supports accountability and helps ensure our processes remain practical, proportionate, and robust.

We commit to an annual review of this statement and the measures that support it. Each year, we will reassess our risks, update our controls, and confirm whether additional training, audit activity, or supplier engagement is required. This review will reflect changes in our operations and the wider risk environment, ensuring that our approach stays relevant and effective.
