Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Shoreditch

At Man And Van Shoreditch, we are committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by our team to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation in any part of our business or supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect people in many ways, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines dignity, freedom, or lawful employment.

As a responsible Shoreditch man and van provider, we expect the same ethical standards from employees, contractors, and suppliers. Our approach is based on prevention, accountability, and continuous improvement. We assess risk across procurement, subcontracting, transport support, and operational services to ensure that workers are treated lawfully and fairly. Any sign of coercion, deception, or abuse is treated as a serious breach of our standards.

We require all staff and business partners to comply with relevant labour laws, wage standards, and safe working practices. Recruitment must be transparent, voluntary, and free from charges that could place a worker in debt or dependency. In our Man And Van Shoreditch operations, we do not accept any arrangement that involves withheld documents, restricted movement, intimidation, or unfair deductions. These principles apply equally to permanent staff and temporary support workers.

To strengthen our oversight, we carry out supplier audits and periodic checks on key business partners. These audits help us verify labour practices, review contractual compliance, and identify any high-risk areas requiring closer monitoring. Where concerns arise, we request corrective action and may suspend or end relationships if expectations are not met. Our supplier due diligence includes assessing workforce treatment, subcontracting arrangements, and evidence of lawful employment.

Training is an important part of our prevention strategy. Managers and supervisors are encouraged to understand the indicators of exploitation, including unusual working hours, restricted communication, or reluctance from workers to speak freely. By improving awareness, Man And Van Shoreditch reduces the likelihood that abusive practices will go unnoticed. We also expect ethical conduct in day-to-day decision-making, from onboarding to service delivery and vendor selection.

We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and in good faith. Reports may be made internally through management or through designated escalation routes, and all concerns are handled with confidentiality and sensitivity. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises an issue honestly. Every report is reviewed promptly, documented carefully, and followed by appropriate action, which may include further investigation or escalation to external authorities when necessary.

Our monitoring framework also includes regular reviews of employment records, subcontractor arrangements, and supplier performance. If any supplier or contractor is found to have failed to meet our standards, we act decisively to correct the issue. We may require remediation plans, enhanced monitoring, or termination of the relationship. This firm stance reflects our belief that ethical business practice is not optional, but central to the reputation and reliability of Shoreditch man and van services.

We understand that combating modern slavery requires ongoing attention rather than a one-time declaration. For that reason, this statement is subject to an annual review by leadership, ensuring that our policies remain effective and aligned with current risks, legal duties, and operational realities. The review considers incidents reported, audit findings, staff awareness, and any changes in our supply chain or service model.

Through this statement, Man And Van Shoreditch confirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery in all forms. We will continue to strengthen our controls, improve supplier oversight, and encourage openness across our organisation. By maintaining vigilance and accountability, we aim to ensure that our Man And Van Shoreditch business operates responsibly, ethically, and with respect for every individual involved.
