Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Brent

Man With Van Brent is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business relationships. We recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour are severe violations of human rights, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that enables exploitation. This statement sets out the steps taken by Man With Van Brent to help prevent slavery and trafficking within our own operations and supply chains.

As a moving and transport service, Man With Van Brent relies on a network of suppliers, contractors, and support partners to deliver services safely and responsibly. We expect every person and organisation working with us to uphold the same standards of fairness, dignity, and legality. Our approach to modern slavery prevention is grounded in respect for workers’ rights, careful oversight of supplier relationships, and a clear expectation that all business activity must be free from coercion or abuse.

We are committed to identifying and reducing risks wherever they may arise. The nature of a van removal company means we may interact with labour providers, equipment suppliers, maintenance services, and subcontractors. For this reason, Man With Van Brent applies due diligence when selecting suppliers and monitors ongoing relationships to ensure compliance with our ethical standards.

Supplier assurance is a central part of our anti-slavery approach. We carry out supplier audits proportionate to the level of risk involved, reviewing working practices, wage arrangements, recruitment methods, and adherence to labour laws. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if improvements are not made. This process helps ensure that Man With Van Brent does not knowingly support any business that exploits workers.

Reporting channels are essential to preventing and detecting modern slavery. Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to raise concerns in good faith if they suspect unsafe, unethical, or unlawful conduct. Reports may be made through internal management channels, and all concerns are treated seriously and confidentially. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who speaks up. By keeping reporting routes clear and accessible, Man With Van Brent strengthens accountability throughout the organisation.

Training and awareness also support our commitment. Relevant team members are informed about the signs of exploitation, including restricted movement, withholding of pay, excessive working hours, document retention, and intimidation. This helps the Man With Van Brent team recognise risks early and take appropriate action. We believe that vigilance at every level is vital to maintaining ethical operations and protecting vulnerable people.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies not only to direct offences but also to any deliberate failure to address suspicious behaviour. If a supplier or partner is found to be involved in modern slavery, we will investigate promptly, cooperate with relevant authorities where required, and take decisive steps to protect those at risk. Ethical conduct is not optional; it is a core expectation of Man With Van Brent.

This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal obligations and best practice. The review will consider risk areas, audit outcomes, reporting trends, and any changes in our supply chain or operations. Where improvements are needed, we will update our procedures accordingly. Through continuous review, Man With Van Brent aims to strengthen safeguards and maintain a responsible business culture.

In summary, Man With Van Brent is dedicated to preventing modern slavery in all forms. By enforcing a zero-tolerance policy, conducting supplier audits, maintaining reliable reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we demonstrate our ongoing commitment to ethical practice and human dignity across our business and supply chain.
