Man With Van Ealing is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and responsibility. We recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation are serious violations of human rights and have no place in our operations or supply chains. This statement sets out the steps Man With Van Ealing takes to prevent modern slavery and to support ethical working practices across our business.

Our zero-tolerance policy is the foundation of our approach. We do not accept any form of slavery, servitude, child labour, debt bondage, or coercion within our business activities. This applies to all employees, contractors, and third parties working on behalf of Man With Van Ealing. We expect the same high standards from all suppliers and service partners, and we will take action where risks are identified.

We aim to ensure that every aspect of our operations reflects fair treatment, lawful employment, and transparent procurement. Man With Van Ealing understands that risk can exist in logistics, transport, cleaning, maintenance, and other support services, especially where labour is sourced through complex supply chains. For that reason, we regularly assess potential exposure and take proportionate steps to reduce it.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

Supplier oversight is central to our anti-slavery controls. We conduct supplier audits and periodic reviews to check compliance with legal, ethical, and labour standards. These reviews may include document checks, contract reviews, site visits, and verification of employment practices. When concerns arise, we request corrective action and monitor progress closely.

Before engaging a new supplier, Man With Van Ealing evaluates the organisation’s policies, workforce practices, and overall approach to human rights. We seek assurances that workers are paid fairly, work voluntarily, and are protected from abuse. Where appropriate, suppliers are required to confirm adherence to our ethical expectations in writing.

If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we will not hesitate to reconsider the relationship. This may include suspension, additional monitoring, or termination of the arrangement. We believe that responsible procurement is essential to preventing exploitation and supporting fair business conduct throughout the Man With Van Ealing supply chain.

Reporting, Training, and Accountability

We encourage all workers and partners to remain alert to warning signs of exploitation, such as restricted movement, unpaid wages, intimidation, or unexplained dependence on an employer. Our internal training helps staff understand these risks and respond appropriately. In addition, managers are expected to lead by example and uphold our ethical standards in day-to-day operations.

Clear reporting channels are available so that concerns can be raised safely and promptly. Reports may be made confidentially through internal management routes, and all concerns are taken seriously. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine issue in good faith. Any allegation is reviewed carefully, and where necessary, escalated for further investigation.

We keep records of incidents, investigations, and outcomes to help improve our controls. This supports accountability and allows Man With Van Ealing to identify patterns, strengthen processes, and respond to new risks as they emerge. Our aim is not only to comply with the law, but to create a culture where ethical conduct is expected and supported.

Review and Continuous Improvement

Modern slavery risks can change over time, so our approach must remain active and adaptable. Accordingly, this statement and our related practices are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and good practice. The review considers supplier performance, internal awareness, audit findings, and any reported concerns.

Where improvements are needed, we update our procedures, strengthen monitoring, and provide additional guidance to staff and suppliers. This ongoing process helps Man With Van Ealing maintain robust safeguards and reinforces our commitment to ethical operations. Our responsibility is to act with diligence, transparency, and care in every part of the business.

In summary, Man With Van Ealing stands firmly against modern slavery in all its forms. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review cycle, we work to ensure that our services are delivered responsibly and that the people connected to our business are treated with dignity and respect.
