Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Kingscross

Man With Van Kingscross is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can appear in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that exploits workers or denies them freedom, dignity, or fair treatment.

Our responsibilities extend beyond our direct workforce. The Man With Van Kingscross team expects the same ethical standards from suppliers, contractors, and business partners. We take practical steps to identify and reduce risk, especially where services depend on third-party labour, subcontracting, or transport-related provision. This commitment is part of our wider duty to act responsibly and uphold lawful employment practices.

To support this approach, we carry out due diligence on new suppliers and review existing relationships where appropriate. Supplier audits are used to assess labour practices, working conditions, documentation, and compliance with legal and ethical standards. Where concerns are identified, we seek immediate clarification and corrective action. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable practice, we may suspend or end the relationship without hesitation.

We also require internal awareness so that risks are recognised early. Staff involved in procurement, scheduling, and subcontractor management are expected to remain alert to warning signs such as withheld documents, excessive working hours, restricted freedom of movement, or unexplained changes in worker behaviour. The policy of Man With Van Kingscross applies equally to all parts of our organisation, and everyone has a role in ensuring our standards are met.

To encourage openness, we provide clear reporting channels for concerns related to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports may be raised through management, designated compliance contacts, or any approved internal process that allows concerns to be shared safely. Individuals raising issues in good faith will be supported and protected from retaliation. We treat all reports seriously and investigate them promptly and confidentially.

Where a concern is substantiated, Man With Van Kingscross will act decisively. This may include further investigation, contract review, escalation to relevant authorities, or cooperation with external agencies when necessary. We believe that effective action depends on vigilance, accountability, and a willingness to intervene early. Ethical conduct is not optional; it is an essential part of how our business operates.

Our commitment also covers ongoing improvement. We understand that risks may change over time, particularly as supply chains evolve. For that reason, this statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with current legal and operational expectations. The review considers risk areas, audit outcomes, training needs, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year.

In addition to annual review, we continue to strengthen awareness across the business. Training and internal communication help ensure that colleagues understand the meaning of modern slavery, how it may present in practice, and how to respond appropriately. Man With Van Kingscross encourages a culture where ethical concerns can be raised early and addressed responsibly, before harm occurs.

Through these measures, Man With Van Kingscross seeks to promote respect, transparency, and lawful working conditions throughout its operations. We are committed to continuous improvement and to maintaining standards that reflect the values of our business. This statement demonstrates our ongoing determination to prevent exploitation and support a fairer, safer supply chain.

As part of our governance, senior oversight is maintained to ensure that commitments are implemented in practice and not only in principle. Responsibilities are monitored, records are kept where necessary, and findings from supplier checks are used to improve controls. The Man With Van Kingscross approach is built on prevention, detection, and response, with a strong focus on practical action rather than symbolic commitment.

We also expect suppliers to communicate the same standards to their own workers and subcontractors, helping to extend protections throughout the chain. This includes respecting legal wage requirements, safe conditions, and freedom of choice in employment. Our supplier audit process is intended not only to detect risk, but also to support ethical improvement where genuine willingness to comply is demonstrated.

Ultimately, Man With Van Kingscross stands firmly against all forms of modern slavery. We will continue to review our controls, strengthen supplier oversight, and maintain reliable reporting routes so that concerns can be raised and addressed without delay. By combining prevention, monitoring, and accountability, we aim to uphold the highest ethical standards in every part of our work.
