Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Coulsdon

Man With A Van Coulsdon 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 modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines freedom, dignity, or lawful employment.

As a responsible moving and transport service, Man With A Van Coulsdon understands that our work relies on people, suppliers, and partners acting ethically. We expect all staff and contractors to comply with applicable labour laws and to uphold safe, fair, and lawful working conditions. Any breach of this policy may result in immediate corrective action, including termination of contracts or reporting to the relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our commitment begins with due diligence. Man With A Van Coulsdon assesses risk across its business activities and supplier relationships, paying particular attention to recruitment practices, wage arrangements, subcontracting, and the use of temporary labour. We expect suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or child labour, and that workers are free to leave employment in accordance with the law.

Supplier oversight is a key part of our approach. Where appropriate, Man With A Van Coulsdon carries out supplier audits and reviews to verify compliance with our ethical standards. These audits may include checks on employment records, working hours, pay practices, and evidence of proper right-to-work procedures. If concerns are identified, we will request prompt remediation and monitor progress closely. Persistent non-compliance may lead to suspension or removal from our approved supplier base.

Training and awareness also support our anti-slavery efforts. We aim to ensure that those involved in recruitment, procurement, and operational management understand the warning signs of exploitation and know how to respond. This includes being alert to unusual deductions, restricted movement, withheld documents, or pressure placed on workers. By strengthening awareness, Man With A Van Coulsdon helps reduce the risk that exploitation could go unnoticed.

We encourage everyone connected with our business to speak up if they suspect misconduct. Reporting channels are available for employees, contractors, and supplier representatives to raise concerns in good faith. Reports may be made through internal management routes or through designated safeguarding processes. All concerns will be handled seriously, investigated discreetly, and treated with appropriate confidentiality. Retaliation against anyone who reports a concern is not tolerated.

Man With A Van Coulsdon also recognises that modern slavery risk can change over time. For this reason, our policies and controls are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain effective and proportionate. We expect senior oversight of anti-slavery measures and review findings from audits, incidents, and supplier assessments to identify opportunities for improvement. Where necessary, corrective action plans are developed and tracked to completion.

Our commitment applies equally to direct employees and any third parties working on our behalf. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation that profits from exploitation or that fails to meet acceptable labour standards. In every case, our position is guided by a simple principle: people must be treated with dignity, respect, and lawful protection. This principle underpins the way Man With A Van Coulsdon operates.

To ensure continued effectiveness, this statement is subject to an annual review. Each year, Man With A Van Coulsdon evaluates policy implementation, supplier compliance, staff awareness, and any reported concerns. The review may lead to updated procedures, revised audit activity, or additional training measures. By reviewing our approach annually, we reinforce accountability and keep our response aligned with current risks.

This statement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery in all parts of our business. Man With A Van Coulsdon will continue to monitor risk, strengthen controls, and expect ethical conduct from everyone associated with the company.

We believe that responsible business practice requires vigilance, transparency, and action. Through consistent oversight and a clear zero-tolerance stance, Man With A Van Coulsdon aims to support a supply chain free from exploitation and to uphold the highest standards of integrity.
