Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Hampstead

Man With Van Hampstead is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation in our operations and supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and expect the same standard from every contractor, supplier, and business partner associated with Man With Van Hampstead.

Our approach is built on responsibility, vigilance, and continuous improvement. We recognise that risks may arise in logistics, transport, vehicle maintenance, cleaning, outsourced services, and other labour-intensive activities. For that reason, the Man With Van Hampstead modern slavery statement is embedded within our broader governance framework and supported by internal procedures, staff awareness, and supplier due diligence.

We require all employees and contractors to act ethically and to remain alert to warning signs such as unsafe working conditions, withheld wages, restricted movement, excessive working hours, or lack of proper documentation. Any concern raised in relation to modern slavery at Man With Van Hampstead is treated seriously, investigated promptly, and escalated where necessary. No individual will face retaliation for speaking up in good faith.

Supplier Oversight and Risk Management

Supplier selection is a critical part of our prevention strategy. Before engaging a supplier, we assess their labour practices, ownership structure, working conditions, and compliance history. Higher-risk suppliers are subject to deeper review, including supplier audits that examine payroll practices, employment records, subcontracting arrangements, and evidence of worker protection measures. Where needed, we request corrective actions and monitor delivery against agreed timelines.

These audits are not limited to new suppliers. Existing partners may also be reviewed periodically based on risk, performance, and sector exposure. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we may suspend business, require remediation, or terminate the relationship. This firm approach helps ensure that the Man With Van Hampstead anti-slavery policy remains active in practice and not only in principle.

We also promote awareness among staff so they can identify and report irregularities across the supply chain. Training materials explain what modern slavery can look like in day-to-day operations and why vigilance matters. By reinforcing these expectations, Man With Van Hampstead supports a culture where ethical conduct is normal, and exploitation has no place.

Reporting Channels, Action, and Review

Clear reporting channels are essential to our statement. Concerns may be raised through internal management routes, designated compliance contacts, or formal incident reporting procedures. Reports can be made confidentially, and each case is reviewed carefully to determine the appropriate response. This may include interviewing relevant parties, examining records, contacting suppliers, and involving external specialists where necessary.

If a potential issue is identified, we act quickly to protect affected individuals and to prevent further harm. Our response may involve stopping work with a supplier, pausing a contract, or requiring immediate corrective action. We aim to ensure that any report made under the Man With Van Hampstead modern slavery policy leads to meaningful action, not delay.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with current legal and operational requirements. During the review, we consider audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, training outcomes, and any changes in risk. The annual process helps Man With Van Hampstead strengthen accountability and improve controls over time.
