Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Northsheen

Man With Van Northsheen is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and any form of exploitation within our operations or supply chain. This statement sets out how Man With Van Northsheen works to prevent, identify, and address these risks across every part of the business.

As a responsible moving and transport provider, Man With Van Northsheen recognises that modern slavery can occur in many industries, including logistics, subcontracted services, and goods procurement. We therefore apply clear controls to ensure that all workers are treated fairly, lawfully, and with dignity. Our approach is based on due diligence, transparency, and continuous improvement.

We expect the same ethical standards from everyone who supports our activities, including suppliers, contractors, and service partners. Any breach of our standards may result in immediate review, suspension, or termination of the relationship.

To reduce risk, Man With Van Northsheen carries out supplier audits proportionate to the nature of the relationship and the level of exposure. These audits may include checks on labour practices, employment records, right-to-work processes, subcontracting arrangements, and evidence of safe working conditions. We also assess whether suppliers have policies and controls in place to prevent exploitation.

Where concerns are identified, we request corrective action within a suitable timeframe and monitor progress closely. If a supplier fails to meet our requirements, we reserve the right to end the arrangement. This reinforces our commitment to a supply chain that reflects the values of Man With Van Northsheen and the expectations of our customers and community.

Training and awareness are also important parts of our response. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and oversight are encouraged to understand warning signs such as unusual working hours, restricted movement, withheld documents, or poor accommodation conditions. Man With Van Northsheen believes that informed teams are better equipped to identify and prevent abuse.

We provide multiple reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes, confidential escalation procedures, or nominated safeguarding contacts. Anyone who raises a concern in good faith will be supported, and all reports will be taken seriously and investigated promptly.

Our reporting process is designed to protect confidentiality wherever possible and to ensure that potential victims are handled with care. Man With Van Northsheen will respond proportionately to each case, involving appropriate specialists or external authorities when needed. We do not tolerate victimisation, intimidation, or any attempt to conceal abuse.

In addition to internal oversight, we review relevant records and working arrangements regularly to ensure that modern slavery risks are not overlooked. This includes monitoring subcontracting activity, verifying labour sources, and strengthening controls where higher-risk practices may exist. Our aim is to keep Man With Van Northsheen resilient, ethical, and compliant.

This statement is reviewed annually by senior leadership to confirm its continued suitability and effectiveness. The review considers changes in law, emerging risks, audit findings, training needs, and any incidents or concerns reported during the year. Where improvements are identified, action plans are implemented and tracked.

Annual review also helps us measure progress and maintain accountability. By revisiting our controls each year, Man With Van Northsheen ensures that policies remain practical and that our anti-slavery measures evolve alongside our business activities. This process supports continual improvement rather than relying on static commitments.

Man With Van Northsheen is dedicated to operating responsibly and to taking meaningful action against modern slavery in all its forms. Through a zero-tolerance approach, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and annual review, we work to protect people, uphold legal and ethical standards, and promote fair labour practices throughout our organisation.
