Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Hackney

Man With Van Hackney is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement explains the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, and vehicle support services, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any form of exploitation.

Our commitment applies to every part of our business. We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to act lawfully and ethically, and we require them to uphold the same standards. The Man With Van Hackney team is trained to identify risks and respond appropriately where concerns arise.

We also understand that prevention depends on clear standards, careful checks, and consistent oversight. For that reason, our approach combines policy, due diligence, monitoring, and escalation procedures so that our man with van services in Hackney remain aligned with responsible business practice.

Our zero-tolerance policy means that we do not accept any form of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour in our business or supply chain. Any breach of this position may result in the termination of a working relationship, suspension of services, or other appropriate action. We communicate these expectations at the start of every engagement and reinforce them through ongoing compliance checks.

To reduce risk, we carry out supplier screening before onboarding and maintain regular supplier audits. These audits review labour practices, identity and eligibility documentation, subcontracting arrangements, working conditions, and payment processes. Where we identify areas for improvement, we request corrective action and set clear timeframes for completion.

As part of our due diligence, we give additional attention to higher-risk suppliers and service partners. This helps us understand how labour is sourced, whether workers are treated fairly, and whether there are any signs of exploitation within the wider supply chain connected to Hackney man and van operations.

Reporting concerns is essential to our safeguarding approach. We maintain internal reporting channels so that employees and other stakeholders can raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Any allegation or suspicion of modern slavery is reviewed promptly, recorded carefully, and escalated where necessary for further investigation.

We encourage a culture in which speaking up is supported. Reports may include signs such as withheld wages, restricted movement, excessive working hours, or inconsistent worker documentation. All concerns are treated seriously, and we act to protect potentially affected individuals while investigating the matter.

We also expect our suppliers to maintain equivalent reporting arrangements within their own organisations. This strengthens transparency and helps ensure that issues are identified early across the Man With Van Hackney supply network.

Responsibility for this statement sits with senior management, who oversee implementation and monitor progress throughout the year. We review our risk profile, update controls where needed, and ensure that our policies remain proportionate to the nature of our services. Training is provided to relevant staff so they can recognise warning signs and follow the correct response process.

Our annual review considers the effectiveness of our modern slavery controls, including supplier audits, reporting activity, and any incidents or corrective actions arising during the year. This review helps us improve our procedures and strengthen accountability across the business. It also ensures that our statement reflects current risks and current practice.

We aim to build long-term, ethical relationships with suppliers who share our values and demonstrate respect for human dignity. Through ongoing oversight, we seek to ensure that Man With Van Hackney operates responsibly and contributes to the prevention of modern slavery in every area where we have influence.

This statement reflects our continuing commitment to lawful, ethical, and transparent trading. By maintaining a zero-tolerance position, conducting supplier audits, offering secure reporting channels, and completing an annual review, Man With Van Hackney works to protect workers and uphold fundamental rights throughout its operations.
