Man With Van Shoreditch 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 modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, storage, cleaning, and outsourced services, so we maintain a vigilant and proactive approach.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies across every part of our business. We do not accept any arrangement, practice, or behaviour that could contribute to exploitation. All staff members, contractors, and suppliers are expected to meet the same standards. Compliance is not optional; it is a core requirement of doing business with our Shoreditch man with van service.

We conduct risk assessments to identify areas where labour exploitation may be more likely to occur. These assessments consider the nature of the service, the location of work, the use of subcontractors, and the countries from which goods or services may be sourced. Where higher risks are identified, we apply stronger controls, greater oversight, and additional due diligence.

Supplier management is central to our approach. Before engaging any supplier, we seek assurance that they follow ethical employment practices and comply with all relevant laws. We expect suppliers to provide accurate information about wages, working hours, recruitment practices, and the use of agency labour. Any sign of misrepresentation or non-compliance may lead to suspension or termination of the relationship.

Supplier audits are carried out on a risk-based basis to confirm that ethical standards are being upheld. These audits may include document reviews, workforce checks, and assessments of payroll records, subcontracting arrangements, and identity verification processes. If concerns are found, we require corrective action within a defined timeframe and monitor progress closely. Repeat breaches are treated seriously by our man with van in Shoreditch operation.

We also expect our business partners to cascade these expectations through their own supply chains. This helps us reduce hidden risk and strengthens transparency at every level. Our contracts include provisions that allow us to request information, conduct checks, and end agreements where exploitation is suspected or confirmed.

Reporting concerns is an essential part of preventing abuse. We provide clear internal reporting channels so that staff and contractors can raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Any individual who suspects modern slavery, unsafe recruitment, coercion, or dishonest labour practices is encouraged to speak up immediately. Reports are handled sensitively, promptly, and by appropriately trained personnel.

Where a concern is raised, we investigate the matter thoroughly and, where necessary, involve external specialists or relevant authorities. We treat whistleblowing as a safeguard, not a threat. Our commitment to fairness means that anyone raising a genuine concern in good faith will be protected from victimisation. This is part of our broader responsibility as a Shoreditch man with a van provider operating with care and accountability.

Training supports this framework. Relevant team members receive guidance on recognising indicators of modern slavery, understanding reporting procedures, and managing supplier relationships responsibly. We also review our recruitment and onboarding practices to ensure they are transparent, lawful, and free from hidden fees or coercive terms.

Our controls are not static. We carry out an annual review of this statement, our policies, and our due diligence processes to ensure they remain effective and reflect current risks. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, legal developments, and any changes in our business model or supply chain. Findings from the review guide improvements for the following year.

We are committed to continuous improvement and to maintaining a workplace and supply chain where exploitation has no place. By combining robust supplier oversight, clear reporting pathways, and regular review, Man With Van Shoreditch reinforces its responsibility to protect human dignity. The same standards apply whether we are managing a local move, supporting commercial transport, or coordinating third-party services.

Modern slavery is a serious crime and a profound violation of human rights. Through this statement, the Man With Van Shoreditch team reaffirms its commitment to ethical conduct, lawful operations, and respectful treatment of everyone connected to our business. We will continue to strengthen our safeguards and act decisively whenever risks are identified.
