Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Thornton Heath

Man With Van Thornton Heath is committed to operating with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the actions taken by Man With Van Thornton Heath to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains.

We recognise that modern slavery can occur in any sector and may be hidden within complex supply networks. As a local Man With Van Thornton Heath service provider, we understand our responsibility to remain vigilant and to ensure that all business activity is conducted ethically and lawfully. Our commitment applies to employees, contractors, agency staff, and suppliers.

Our zero-tolerance approach is central to our policy. Any form of modern slavery is strictly prohibited, and we will not knowingly engage with any individual or organisation involved in such practices. If concerns are identified, we will act immediately to investigate, suspend relevant activity where necessary, and take appropriate remedial action.

We implement risk-based due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This includes assessing the nature of the service provided, the country of operation where relevant, and the labour standards expected across the supply chain. Suppliers to Man With Van Thornton Heath are expected to uphold ethical employment practices and provide accurate information when requested.

Supplier audits are an important part of our control framework. Where appropriate, we conduct periodic reviews, request evidence of compliance, and examine working conditions, recruitment practices, and subcontracting arrangements. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we may require corrective action, increase monitoring, or end the relationship entirely.

We also maintain internal procedures to reduce risk in everyday operations. Managers are expected to remain alert to warning signs such as unusual working hours, restricted movement, withholding of documents, unsafe accommodation, or pressure on workers. These indicators are treated seriously and escalated without delay.

Reporting channels are available to support prompt escalation of concerns. Employees and workers may report suspected issues through management routes or internal reporting mechanisms, and all reports are handled confidentially where possible. Retaliation against anyone raising a concern in good faith is not tolerated.

We encourage a culture of openness so that concerns can be identified early. Training and awareness efforts help relevant staff understand the signs of exploitation and the importance of speaking up. This supports our wider aim to maintain a safe, fair, and responsible working environment across Man With Van Thornton Heath.

Where a concern is raised, it is reviewed promptly and proportionately. We may seek further information, conduct interviews, review records, or reassess supplier relationships. If there is evidence of abuse, we will cooperate with appropriate authorities and support affected individuals wherever practicable.

Our commitment extends beyond compliance. We strive to embed ethical conduct into decision-making, purchasing, and contractor management. This helps ensure that Man With Van Thornton Heath is not contributing directly or indirectly to exploitation through its business activities.

We review this statement annually to confirm that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and business practices. The annual review considers any incidents reported, audit findings, supplier performance, and opportunities to improve controls. Updates are made where necessary to strengthen our approach.

This statement reflects the ongoing responsibility of Man With Van Thornton Heath to prevent modern slavery in all forms. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, conducting supplier audits, providing reporting channels, and carrying out annual reviews, we reaffirm our commitment to ethical and lawful operations.
