Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van White City

Man With A Van White City is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, and exploitative working practices have no place in our operations or supply chain. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy and the steps we take to prevent, identify, and address any risk of abuse.

As a transport and removals provider, Man With A Van White City works with a range of suppliers and subcontractors. We expect every partner to share our values and uphold fair employment standards. Our approach is grounded in prevention, transparency, and accountability, with clear expectations placed on managers, staff, and external providers alike. We are committed to ensuring that modern slavery risks are actively monitored and managed throughout our business relationships.

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation. Any confirmed or suspected case of modern slavery will be treated as a serious breach of trust and business conduct. Where concerns arise, we will act immediately to investigate, suspend relationships if necessary, and cooperate with the appropriate authorities. This policy applies across all levels of the company, from recruitment and scheduling to supplier engagement and subcontracted services.

Supplier audits form a central part of our due diligence process. Man With A Van White City reviews suppliers before engagement and conducts periodic checks to assess labour practices, right-to-work compliance, payment standards, and working conditions. We may request evidence of policies, contracts, payroll practices, and worker protections, particularly where services involve high-risk sectors or temporary labour. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable standards, we will require corrective action or terminate the relationship.

Our internal controls also support responsible hiring and procurement. We verify that workers are employed voluntarily, understand their terms, and are not subject to unlawful deductions, intimidation, or restrictions on movement. Managers are trained to identify warning signs such as inconsistent documentation, excessive overtime, or signs of coercion. By maintaining strong oversight, Man With A Van White City aims to reduce the likelihood of hidden exploitation entering our operations.

We encourage all employees, contractors, and suppliers to speak up if they suspect wrongdoing. Reporting channels are available for raising concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made to designated managers or through internal escalation routes, and every concern is reviewed carefully. No individual will suffer detriment for making a genuine report, and all allegations will be handled with discretion, fairness, and urgency.

When concerns are raised, we assess the facts, document findings, and take proportionate action. This may include further checks, worker interviews, supplier remediation plans, or referral to specialist authorities. Man With A Van White City recognises that meaningful action is essential not only to respond to incidents, but also to prevent recurrence. We therefore treat corrective measures as part of a wider culture of responsibility and respect.

Our statement and supporting procedures are subject to annual review to ensure they remain effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. Each review considers operational changes, supplier performance, identified risks, and any reported concerns. Where improvements are needed, we update policies, strengthen controls, and reinforce staff awareness. This ensures that Man With A Van White City continues to improve its safeguards against modern slavery.

Through this ongoing commitment, we seek to uphold dignity, fairness, and lawful working practices in every part of our business. Modern slavery prevention is not a one-time action; it is an ongoing responsibility embedded in how we choose suppliers, manage relationships, and respond to concerns. Man With A Van White City remains dedicated to doing what is necessary to help protect vulnerable workers and maintain ethical standards across its operations.
