Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement for Man with Van Finsbury Park

Man with Van Finsbury Park is committed to conducting its business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. It applies to all staff, contractors, and suppliers associated with our services.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, bonded labour, child labour, and human trafficking. We do not tolerate any practice that exploits individuals, undermines their dignity, or violates their fundamental rights. This commitment is integral to our values and to the way we provide moving and logistics services in Finsbury Park and beyond.

All staff, from management to frontline operatives, are expected to uphold this policy. Any breach of our stance on modern slavery is treated as a serious disciplinary matter and may result in termination of employment or contracts, as well as reporting to the appropriate authorities where required.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Man with Van Finsbury Park provides transport, removals, and associated services. Our supply chain includes vehicle leasing and maintenance providers, fuel suppliers, packaging and materials suppliers, facilities services, and a range of subcontracted labour where appropriate. We recognise that modern slavery risks can arise at multiple levels of the supply chain, including through temporary labour, outsourced services, and international sourcing of goods and equipment.

We are committed to identifying and addressing these risks in a proactive and systematic way, with a focus on transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers, contractors, and business partners to share our zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery. As part of our onboarding process, we seek confirmation that suppliers comply with applicable laws on labour, employment, and human rights, and that they do not engage in any form of forced or exploitative labour.

We are developing a risk-based supplier audit programme, prioritising suppliers and categories where the risk of modern slavery is assessed to be higher. These audits may include review of employment practices, working conditions, recruitment processes, and the use of subcontractors or labour agencies. Where non-compliance or concerns are identified, we will work with suppliers to implement corrective actions within defined timeframes, or we will terminate relationships where satisfactory improvements are not made.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage all staff, subcontractors, and suppliers to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or human trafficking connected to our business or supply chain. Reports can be made to line managers, senior management, or through internal reporting channels made known to employees during induction and ongoing communication.

We are committed to ensuring that anyone who raises a concern in good faith is protected from victimisation, retaliation, or detrimental treatment. All reports are treated sensitively, and where appropriate, investigated thoroughly. If evidence of modern slavery is found, we will take immediate action, including supporting affected individuals, cooperating with law enforcement, and reviewing our procedures to prevent recurrence.

Training and Awareness

We are working to increase awareness of modern slavery risks among our workforce, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management, and recruitment. Training and guidance focus on recognising signs of exploitation, understanding our internal reporting routes, and knowing how to respond to potential cases in a safe and responsible way.

We also seek to engage with key suppliers about modern slavery risk, encouraging them to adopt similar standards, policies, and training practices within their own organisations and supply chains.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our response to modern slavery rests with senior management, who ensure this Statement is implemented and that appropriate systems and controls are in place. We monitor the effectiveness of our approach through the number and nature of reported concerns, the outcomes of supplier audits, and feedback from staff and business partners.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to reflect changes in legislation, industry best practice, and the evolving nature of our operations and supply chain. As part of the annual review, we assess our progress, set objectives for improvement, and update our procedures where necessary. We are committed to continual enhancement of our efforts to prevent modern slavery and to safeguarding the rights and wellbeing of all individuals connected to our business.
