Modern Slavery Statement for Man with Van Camden Town

Man with Van Camden Town is committed to conducting its business in a responsible and ethical manner. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to act with integrity and to promote respect for human rights in all areas of our work.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Man with Van Camden Town provides local and regional transport, removal, and related services. Our operations rely on a combination of directly engaged workers and a network of suppliers, including vehicle hire companies, fuel providers, equipment suppliers, and subcontracted labour where necessary. We understand that risks of modern slavery can arise in areas such as temporary labour, cleaning, logistics, and certain outsourced services, and we take steps to mitigate these risks.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

We have a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This policy applies to everyone who works for or with Man with Van Camden Town, including employees, casual workers, agency staff, subcontractors, and suppliers at every level of our supply chain.

We do not accept any form of forced, bonded, or involuntary labour, and we do not tolerate child labour or any practice that deprives individuals of their freedom or dignity. We expect all those we work with to share this commitment and to adhere to standards that are consistent with our own.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We aim to work only with suppliers and subcontractors who can demonstrate that they operate ethically and in compliance with applicable labour and human rights laws. As part of our onboarding and ongoing supplier management, we:

Request confirmation from key suppliers that they prohibit modern slavery and human trafficking within their own businesses and supply chains. Communicate our expectations regarding fair treatment, safe working conditions, and lawful employment practices. Reserve the right to review supplier practices where we identify potential risks.

Where appropriate and proportionate to the level of risk, we may conduct desk-based assessments or on-site visits to review working conditions and labour practices. If a supplier is found to be in breach of our standards or unable to demonstrate adequate controls, we will consider corrective action, up to and including termination of the relationship.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing

We encourage anyone connected with Man with Van Camden Town, including workers, subcontractors, and other partners, to raise any concerns they may have about modern slavery or unethical practices. Concerns may relate to our own operations or those of our suppliers and subcontractors.

Reports can be made directly to line managers or senior management. We take all reports seriously and will investigate them sensitively, fairly, and as promptly as circumstances allow. We will not tolerate any form of retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith, and we are committed to maintaining confidentiality to the extent possible while enabling a proper investigation.

Training, Awareness, and Responsibility

Responsibility for overseeing this statement and our broader approach to modern slavery rests with the senior management team of Man with Van Camden Town. Management is responsible for ensuring that staff understand our zero-tolerance stance and know how to identify and report potential issues.

We seek to raise awareness among employees and key contractors about the signs of modern slavery, the importance of ethical conduct, and the channels available for reporting concerns. We expect managers who engage suppliers and subcontractors to consider modern slavery risks as part of their decision-making and oversight.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Man with Van Camden Town recognises that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. We are committed to reviewing and improving our approach as our business and supply chains evolve, and as best practice and legal requirements develop.

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually by senior management to assess its effectiveness and relevance. As part of this review, we will consider feedback from staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders, as well as any incidents, investigations, or changes in our operations. Where necessary, we will update our policies, procedures, and supplier requirements to strengthen our defences against modern slavery and human trafficking.

This statement reflects the position of Man with Van Camden Town for the current financial year and has been approved by senior management.
