Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Stockwell
Man With Van Stockwell is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the actions we take to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many industries, including transport, logistics, and subcontracted services, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines dignity or freedom.
As a responsible man with van service, we expect the same ethical standards from our staff, contractors, and business partners. Our approach is based on prevention, vigilance, and accountability. We promote fair working conditions, lawful pay, and the right of every worker to make decisions freely. We also ensure that recruitment practices are transparent and that no worker pays fees that could leave them in debt or vulnerable to coercion.
Our commitment applies across the business, from hiring and subcontracting to procurement and service delivery. We review labour practices carefully and require suppliers to confirm compliance with applicable employment, immigration, and health and safety laws. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take appropriate action, which may include corrective measures, suspension of work, or termination of relationships where serious breaches are identified.
We carry out supplier audits to assess risk and confirm that ethical standards are being followed. These audits may include document checks, workforce due diligence, and a review of onboarding and payment processes. For higher-risk suppliers, we apply enhanced scrutiny, particularly where services involve temporary labour, subcontracting, or cross-border recruitment. Our goal is to ensure that every part of the supply chain supports lawful and humane employment.
In addition to audits, we monitor warning signs such as withheld identification documents, unexplained deductions, restricted movement, or signs of intimidation. Managers are trained to recognise these indicators and respond without delay. By embedding awareness into day-to-day operations, Man With Van Stockwell strengthens its ability to detect and address risks before they escalate.
We also maintain clear reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and suppliers can raise concerns in confidence. Reports may be made internally to management through established channels, and concerns are treated seriously, discreetly, and without retaliation. Whistleblowing protection is an essential part of our policy, and anyone raising a concern in good faith will be supported throughout the process.
Training is provided where needed to help our teams understand what modern slavery looks like in practice and how to respond appropriately. This includes guidance on ethical recruitment, safe subcontracting, and the importance of maintaining accurate records. We believe that prevention is strongest when everyone involved in the business understands their responsibility to uphold human rights and challenge poor practice.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal expectations and operational risk. Each review considers supplier performance, audit outcomes, incident reports, and any changes in business activity that may affect exposure to modern slavery risks. Where improvements are needed, we update procedures and strengthen controls accordingly.
Man With Van Stockwell remains firmly committed to continual improvement. Through a zero-tolerance stance, regular supplier audits, dependable reporting channels, and an annual review process, we aim to contribute to a fairer and more ethical transport service sector. Our statement reflects both our current practice and our ongoing determination to prevent exploitation in every form.
