Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Kennington

Man With A Van Kennington is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for every person involved in our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and any form of exploitation. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many parts of a supply chain, and we are determined to take proactive steps to prevent it.

As a local moving and transport service, Man With A Van Kennington relies on a range of suppliers, contractors, and service partners. We expect all parties connected with Man With A Van Kennington services to share our ethical standards. Our commitment applies across recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and operational activities, ensuring that every business relationship reflects lawful and responsible practices.

We carry out due diligence before entering into new supplier relationships and continue monitoring existing arrangements through supplier audits. These checks may include verification of employment practices, right-to-work documentation, working hours, wage arrangements, and records showing compliance with labour laws. Where risks are identified, we require corrective action and, if necessary, may suspend or end the relationship.

Our approach to preventing modern slavery is built on clear accountability. Managers are responsible for understanding the risks within their teams and supply chains, while procurement decisions must consider ethical performance alongside service quality and value. We aim to promote a culture in which exploitation is actively challenged and never ignored.

Training and awareness are important parts of our framework. Staff involved in hiring, supplier selection, and contract management are encouraged to recognise warning signs such as restricted freedom of movement, excessive deductions from pay, intimidation, or signs that a worker may not be acting voluntarily. By strengthening awareness, Man With A Van Kennington improves its ability to identify concerns early and respond appropriately.

We also maintain secure and accessible reporting channels so that employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders can raise concerns about suspected misconduct. Reports may be made confidentially, and all disclosures are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with sensitivity. Retaliation against anyone raising a concern in good faith is not tolerated.

Supplier Standards and Monitoring

Our supplier expectations are documented in contractual terms and compliance checks. We ask suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour and that their own subcontractors follow the same standards. If a supplier fails to meet our requirements, we may request evidence of remediation, conduct follow-up reviews, or discontinue the relationship where improvement is not achieved.

For Man With A Van Kennington, responsible sourcing is more than a statement; it is an operational priority. We consider modern slavery risk when engaging labour providers, vehicle support services, equipment suppliers, and other business partners. This risk-based approach helps us target oversight where vulnerabilities are greater and maintain consistent ethical standards throughout the business.

Our internal controls are reviewed to ensure they remain effective and proportionate. We track concerns, audit outcomes, and corrective actions so that patterns can be identified and addressed. This evidence-based method supports continuous improvement and reinforces our commitment to lawful and respectful working conditions across all parts of the Man With A Van Kennington operation.

Governance, Escalation, and Review

Any allegation or suspicion of modern slavery is escalated immediately to senior management for review. Where appropriate, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and take decisive action to protect those potentially affected. Our objective is to prevent harm, support proper investigation, and ensure that issues are not left unresolved.

Annual Review

We will review this Modern Slavery Statement annually to confirm that it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and business operations. The annual review will consider audit findings, supplier performance, reported concerns, training needs, and any changes in risk exposure. Updates may lead to stronger controls, improved due diligence, or revised reporting procedures.

Through regular review and firm governance, Man With A Van Kennington reinforces its zero-tolerance stance and continues to uphold ethical standards in every aspect of its work. We are committed to ensuring that our business and supply chain operate responsibly, transparently, and with respect for human rights.
