Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Barnehurst
Man With Van Barnehurst is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, forced labour, servitude, human trafficking and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the logistics and removals sector can involve a variety of third-party relationships, and we take our responsibility seriously. Our Man With Van Barnehurst approach is based on vigilance, accountability and continuous improvement, ensuring that ethical standards remain central to how we work.
We expect everyone connected with our business to comply with the law and to act responsibly. This applies to employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers engaged by Barnehurst man with van services. Our procurement decisions are informed by ethical considerations as well as service quality and reliability. We will not knowingly work with any organisation that tolerates exploitation, unsafe labour practices or hidden subcontracting arrangements that could increase the risk of abuse. By maintaining a clear and uncompromising stance, we reinforce a culture where dignity and lawful conduct are non-negotiable.
Our risk assessment process helps us identify areas where modern slavery risks may exist. In particular, we review labour-intensive services, transportation providers, packaging suppliers and any external workforce arrangements. Supplier audits are a key part of this process. We carry out proportionate checks on new and existing suppliers, including verification of trading practices, workforce policies and evidence of compliance with employment law. Where concerns arise, we request corrective action, increase monitoring or end the relationship if required. This is an essential safeguard for Barnehurst removal and van support and for the wider supply chain.
Training and awareness are also central to our statement. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs, such as restricted movement, withheld documents, unusual dependence on intermediaries, or signs of coercion. We encourage a culture where concerns are taken seriously and explored promptly. Our internal controls are designed to reduce the risk of unethical conduct being overlooked. For Man With Van Barnehurst services, this means making careful decisions about recruitment, subcontracting and supplier selection, while preserving high standards of oversight across daily operations.
We have established clear reporting channels so that concerns relating to modern slavery can be raised without fear of retaliation. Any employee, supplier or business partner who suspects exploitation is encouraged to report it through management and other internal escalation routes. All concerns are reviewed confidentially and handled in line with our commitment to protect vulnerable individuals and support proper investigation. Man With Van Barnehurst will not tolerate victimisation of anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith, and we take swift action where risks are identified.
Our commitment extends to contracts, onboarding and ongoing supplier management. We expect suppliers to demonstrate transparent labour practices, lawful pay arrangements and responsible use of subcontractors. If a supplier cannot meet our expectations, we work with them to improve where possible; however, repeated breaches or evidence of exploitation will lead to termination of the relationship. This standard applies across all elements of Barnehurst man with van operations, helping to protect workers and preserve trust throughout the chain.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant and aligned with current legislation and operational risk. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, changes in supplier structure, and any lessons learned from our due diligence work. Where improvements are needed, we update our policies, strengthen checks or expand staff awareness measures. Continuous review is a vital part of how Man With Van Barnehurst maintains ethical standards and responds responsibly to emerging risks.
