Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Edgware

Man With Van Edgware is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and any form of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that removals, transport, and related logistics services can involve multiple third parties, and we therefore take active steps to prevent risk. Our approach applies to employees, temporary workers, contractors, and suppliers associated with Man with Van Edgware activities.

We expect every person acting on behalf of Man With Van Edgware to uphold lawful, ethical, and fair working practices. This includes ensuring that all work is voluntary, that wages and working hours comply with legal requirements, and that workers are treated with dignity. Any breach of this policy may lead to contract termination, disciplinary action, or referral to the appropriate authorities. Our commitment is clear: no part of our business should contribute to modern slavery in any form.

To support this commitment, Man with Van Edgware carries out due diligence on suppliers and partners before and during engagement. We assess modern slavery risk based on service type, geography, labour model, and any reliance on subcontracted labour. Where a supplier is considered higher risk, we may request policy documentation, workforce evidence, and written assurances regarding recruitment practices. We also reserve the right to conduct supplier audits and to review records where appropriate.

Our supplier monitoring process is designed to identify and address warning signs early. If concerns arise, we may ask for corrective action plans, further evidence of compliance, or additional checks on labour sourcing. We aim to work only with organisations that share our commitment to ethical conduct and lawful employment. Man with Van Edgware will not knowingly retain suppliers that fail to meet our standards or that refuse reasonable scrutiny.

We also promote awareness among our team so that everyone understands how to recognise indicators of exploitation. These may include restricted freedom of movement, withheld identity documents, unusual payment arrangements, or workers appearing unable to speak for themselves. By encouraging vigilance, Man With Van Edgware strengthens its ability to prevent abuse and maintain responsible operations across every stage of service delivery.

Reporting concerns is essential to the success of this statement. We provide internal reporting channels so that workers, contractors, and suppliers can raise concerns about suspected modern slavery, unsafe recruitment, or unethical conduct without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made confidentially and will be reviewed promptly. We take every concern seriously and will investigate proportionately, fairly, and discreetly.

Where an issue is substantiated, we will take appropriate action, which may include suspension of a supplier relationship, remediation measures, or reporting to external authorities where required by law. We believe that effective prevention depends on both clear expectations and decisive action. For this reason, the management of Man With Van Edgware is responsible for monitoring compliance and ensuring that concerns are escalated properly.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal and ethical developments. The review considers changes in our business model, supplier base, and risk profile, along with any incidents or lessons learned during the year. Man with Van Edgware uses this process to strengthen controls, improve supplier oversight, and update internal procedures where needed.

Through continuous improvement, training, supplier audits, and open reporting pathways, Man With Van Edgware remains committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking. Our zero-tolerance stance is not simply a policy statement; it is a core principle that shapes how we operate, how we choose partners, and how we protect the people connected to our business.
