Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Surrey Quays

Man With Van Surrey Quays is committed to conducting business responsibly, ethically, and with full respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and across our supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, cleaning, maintenance, and outsourced support services, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any activity that undermines human dignity.

Our business operates on the principle that every worker must be treated fairly, lawfully, and with respect. The Man With Van Surreyquays team expects all employees, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the highest ethical standards. We do not tolerate child labour, debt bondage, document retention, coercion, threats, or any arrangement that prevents a person from leaving work freely. These principles apply to all aspects of our work, including hiring, subcontracting, procurement, and operational decision-making.

To support this commitment, man with van Surrey quays has implemented internal controls designed to identify and reduce risk. These include pre-engagement checks on business partners, written expectations for ethical conduct, and ongoing oversight of labour practices where services are delivered on our behalf. We also promote awareness among staff so they can recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, unusual deductions from wages, signs of intimidation, or workers appearing unable to speak for themselves.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Our approach to suppliers is based on accountability and transparency. Before engaging a supplier, Man With Van Surrey Quays considers the nature of the service, the location of the work, and whether the supplier can demonstrate ethical labour practices. We expect suppliers to comply with all applicable employment, health and safety, immigration, and anti-trafficking laws. Where appropriate, we request written confirmation of compliance and review their policies relating to recruitment, wages, working hours, and freedom of movement.

Supplier audits are an important part of our due diligence framework. These reviews may include document checks, workforce interviews, site visits, and examination of payroll or subcontracting arrangements. Man With Van Surreyquays reserves the right to request evidence that workers are employed voluntarily, are paid lawfully, and retain control of their identity documents. If concerns are identified, we require corrective action within a reasonable timeframe and may suspend or end the relationship if the issue is not resolved.

We understand that risk can exist at multiple levels of the supply chain, particularly where services are subcontracted or labour is sourced through intermediaries. For that reason, man with van surreyquays seeks clear visibility of who is performing the work and under what conditions. We prioritise suppliers who can demonstrate robust recruitment practices, fair treatment of workers, and a willingness to cooperate fully with audits and compliance checks.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

Man With Van Surrey Quays encourages anyone connected with our business to report concerns about exploitation, unsafe working practices, or unethical conduct. Reports may be raised internally through management, supervisors, or designated compliance representatives. We encourage early reporting, as prompt action can help protect vulnerable individuals and reduce further harm. All concerns are handled sensitively and with discretion.

We are committed to protecting individuals who raise genuine concerns in good faith. No person should fear retaliation, dismissal, disadvantage, or intimidation for speaking up. Man With Van Surreyquays will investigate concerns thoroughly, document findings, and take appropriate action where required. Where a concern suggests immediate risk, the matter will be escalated without delay to ensure the safety and welfare of affected individuals.

Our reporting culture is supported by training and management oversight. Staff are reminded that modern slavery can be hidden behind seemingly ordinary arrangements, especially where workers are isolated, dependent, or controlled by others. By creating clear internal reporting routes and reinforcing expectations across the business, Man With Van Surrey Quays aims to maintain vigilance and encourage accountability at every level.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with current legislation and operational risk. The review considers supplier audit outcomes, any reported concerns, training activity, and improvements needed in policies or procedures. Where necessary, updates are made to strengthen our controls and reflect changes in our business model or the wider regulatory environment.

We will continue to improve our due diligence, reinforce our zero-tolerance policy, and support a culture of ethical conduct. By maintaining strong oversight of our operations and supply chains, we aim to ensure that Man With Van Surrey Quays remains a business that acts with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights.
