Man And A Van Belgravia is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This modern slavery statement reflects our zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, debt bondage, and child exploitation. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many sectors and at different levels of a supply chain, so we take proactive steps to identify, prevent, and address any risks connected to our operations. Our approach is grounded in ethical business practices and the belief that every individual should be treated with dignity.

As a Man and a Van Belgravia service provider, we understand that our activities may involve subcontractors, suppliers, and third-party partners. For that reason, we require all business relationships to meet clear expectations on labour rights, safe working conditions, and lawful employment. We do not knowingly work with any party involved in exploitation, and we reserve the right to terminate any relationship where serious concerns arise. This commitment applies across all areas of the Man And A Van Belgravia modern slavery policy.

To support compliance, we maintain supplier due diligence procedures and supplier audits that assess labour standards, recruitment practices, wage transparency, and worker welfare. Where a supplier is engaged, we expect accurate records and the ability to demonstrate lawful, fair employment arrangements. Audits may include document reviews, risk checks, and periodic reassessments based on supplier profile and geographic exposure. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations, corrective action is requested immediately; where improvement is not possible, we will end the relationship.

We also provide clear reporting channels so that concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and confidentially. Any employee, contractor, or supplier who suspects exploitation, unsafe recruitment, or coercive behaviour is encouraged to report it without fear of retaliation. Reports are handled sensitively, investigated promptly, and escalated where needed. We believe that open reporting is essential to the success of a robust modern slavery prevention framework within Man And A Van Belgravia.

Training and awareness are important parts of our response. Relevant team members are informed about indicators of exploitation, including withholding of documents, restricted movement, excessive overtime, and signs of intimidation. Managers are expected to apply this knowledge in supplier management and operational oversight. By embedding awareness throughout the organisation, Man And A Van Belgravia strengthens its ability to detect risk early and take decisive action. We also encourage ethical decision-making at every stage of the procurement and service delivery process.

Our commitment extends to recruitment and employment practices. We ensure that workers are not charged unlawful fees, are free to end their employment in line with applicable law, and receive clear information about terms and conditions. We never tolerate the use of deceptive recruitment, document retention, or threats of punishment. These standards support a fair workplace and reinforce the integrity of our Belgravia man and van services while helping to prevent abuse in the wider labour market.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal obligations and best practice. During the annual review, we assess new risks, evaluate supplier audit findings, consider any incidents reported through our channels, and update controls where required. Changes to operations, sourcing patterns, or legislation are reflected in our policy improvements. The annual review process ensures continuous strengthening of the Man And A Van Belgravia anti-slavery approach.

Where modern slavery concerns are identified, we act decisively. This may include suspending work, increasing monitoring, engaging with remediation steps, or referring matters to the appropriate authorities. Our response is based on the severity of the issue and the need to protect potentially affected individuals. We recognise that prevention is not a one-time exercise but an ongoing responsibility. Accordingly, all relevant decisions are documented to support accountability and future learning.

Man And A Van Belgravia remains dedicated to maintaining a transparent and ethical business model. Through a zero-tolerance policy, careful supplier audits, effective reporting channels, and an annual review cycle, we aim to reduce risk and uphold human rights across our operations. This statement represents our continuing commitment to responsible practice and to ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our company or supply chain.
