Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Haringey

Man With A Van Haringey 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 exploitation in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms, including debt bondage, deception, coercion, and the withholding of freedom or wages. Our responsibility is to take practical steps to prevent, identify, and address such risks.

As a Haringey man and van service operating in a fast-moving logistics environment, we understand that transport, subcontracting, and sourcing activities can expose businesses to hidden labour risks. For that reason, our approach is rooted in prevention. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold ethical working practices and to comply with all applicable laws relating to employment, pay, welfare, and safe working conditions. Any breach of these standards is treated as a serious matter.

This statement applies to our core operations, including hiring practices, subcontracted support, vehicle services, equipment sourcing, and third-party relationships. We aim to ensure that the Man With A Van Haringey name is associated with responsible conduct at every level. Our procedures are designed to reduce exposure to risk through careful screening, ongoing monitoring, and a clear expectation that exploitation will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

We apply due diligence when selecting and retaining suppliers. Supplier audits are carried out on a risk-based basis to assess labour standards, worker treatment, document controls, and the transparency of labour arrangements. Where concerns are identified, we may request corrective action, conduct follow-up checks, or end the relationship if required. Our man and van Haringey operations rely on trusted partners, and trust must be earned through consistent compliance.

We also expect suppliers to confirm that they do not use child labour, forced labour, or trafficked workers, and that they provide lawful pay and working hours. Where appropriate, our procurement process includes questions about recruitment methods, subcontracting chains, and worker accommodation. By maintaining oversight of these areas, Man With A Van Haringey strengthens its ability to spot warning signs early and respond responsibly.

Training and awareness are essential parts of our approach. Staff involved in hiring, scheduling, procurement, and subcontractor management are encouraged to recognise indicators such as restricted movement, intimidation, unexplained deductions, or workers who appear unable to speak freely. A modern slavery risk can be subtle, so we promote a culture where concerns are taken seriously and handled without delay.

We provide clear reporting channels for employees, contractors, and suppliers who wish to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of reprisal. Reports may be made through internal management routes, and all disclosures are assessed promptly, sensitively, and objectively. Any suspicion of exploitation is investigated, and appropriate action is taken in line with the severity of the issue.

Our zero-tolerance policy means that any proven involvement in modern slavery may result in termination of employment, cancellation of contracts, or referral to the relevant authorities. We will not knowingly work with any organisation or individual that benefits from forced labour, trafficking, or abusive recruitment practices. This principle is central to the values of Man With A Van Haringey and guides our day-to-day decisions.

To ensure ongoing accountability, this statement is reviewed annually by senior management. The annual review examines risk areas, supplier performance, reported concerns, and the effectiveness of existing controls. Where needed, we strengthen our procedures, update our checks, and refresh staff awareness measures. We view continuous improvement as essential, because preventing modern slavery requires vigilance rather than a one-time commitment.

In the coming year, Man With A Van Haringey will continue to reinforce ethical sourcing, improve supplier oversight, and maintain clear internal processes for reporting and response. We remain committed to operating as a responsible Haringey man and van business that protects people, respects dignity, and rejects exploitation in every form.
