Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Highbury

Man With A Van Highbury is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and responsibility. We recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation are serious violations of human rights and have no place in our operations or in any part of our supply chain. This statement sets out the principles and measures that guide our approach to preventing, identifying, and addressing modern slavery risks across the business.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every aspect of our work. We will not knowingly work with any individual, contractor, or supplier involved in slavery, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, or any form of coercion. The Man With A Van Highbury team is expected to act ethically at all times, and all commercial decisions must reflect our commitment to fair treatment, lawful conduct, and human dignity.

We undertake due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers, subcontractors, and service partners. This includes assessing the nature of their operations, labour practices, and compliance controls. Where appropriate, supplier audits may be conducted to verify standards, identify risks, and ensure corrective action is taken where concerns arise. Any supplier unable or unwilling to meet our expectations may be suspended or removed from our approved list.

Our modern slavery controls are embedded within our broader governance framework. Managers are responsible for maintaining awareness of risk indicators, such as unusual recruitment practices, unexplained wage deductions, restricted movement, or signs of intimidation. We encourage vigilance in all areas of the business, including temporary labour arrangements, logistics support, and outsourced services associated with man and van Highbury activities.

We also require our people to respect the highest standards of ethical conduct when working with customers, partners, and suppliers. Training and internal communication help ensure that the signs of exploitation are understood and reported promptly. By reinforcing these expectations, Man With A Van Highbury strengthens its ability to prevent abuse before it occurs and to respond decisively if concerns are raised.

The business recognises that effective prevention depends on accessible and trusted reporting channels. Any worker, contractor, or stakeholder who suspects modern slavery or unsafe labour conditions is encouraged to raise the matter without delay through internal management routes or other approved reporting procedures. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with appropriate confidentiality. Retaliation against anyone raising a genuine concern will not be tolerated.

Where a concern is identified, Man With A Van Highbury will act proportionately and without hesitation. This may include further investigation, temporary suspension of a supplier relationship, notification to relevant authorities, or implementation of corrective measures. We aim to work constructively where improvement is possible, but we will not continue any relationship that exposes people to exploitation or unlawful working conditions.

Our commitment extends to the continuous improvement of our processes. As part of our approach, we review procurement practices, labour sourcing, and subcontractor arrangements to reduce the possibility of hidden risk. The company understands that modern slavery can be complex and concealed, so a proactive and informed response is essential. We remain alert to the fact that risks may arise indirectly through multiple tiers of supply.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with current risks and responsibilities. The annual review considers supplier audit results, any reported concerns, changes in operations, and emerging best practice. Where required, the statement and related controls are updated to ensure that the Highbury man with a van service continues to reflect strong ethical standards.

We affirm that preventing modern slavery is a shared responsibility across the organisation. Through a clear zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and an annual review process, Man With A Van Highbury seeks to operate responsibly and to protect the rights and welfare of everyone connected to its business. This statement represents our ongoing commitment to lawful, transparent, and humane working practices.
