Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Twickenham

Man With Van Twickenham 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, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect transport, logistics, cleaning, maintenance, and outsourced services, and we take active steps to prevent, detect, and address any such risk.

Our commitment applies to every person working on behalf of Man With Van Twickenham, including employees, contractors, and suppliers. We expect all business relationships to uphold lawful and ethical standards. No commercial advantage is ever permitted to justify exploitation. We also require relevant staff to understand warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, intimidation, or unsafe working conditions.

Our Policy and Governance

We maintain a clear policy framework that supports the prevention of modern slavery and human trafficking. The policy is approved by management and reviewed as part of our wider compliance approach. It requires that any suspected breach is treated seriously and investigated promptly. Man With Van Twickenham will not knowingly engage with any organisation that uses forced, bonded, or trafficked labour, nor with any supplier that fails to act responsibly when concerns are raised.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier relationships are assessed before and during engagement. Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits and checks to confirm legal compliance, labour practices, and ethical sourcing. These reviews may include document verification, workforce oversight, and evaluation of subcontracting arrangements. If a supplier is found to be in breach, we will require corrective action, increased monitoring, or termination of the relationship where necessary.

We expect suppliers to maintain transparent records, pay workers fairly, and ensure that employment is freely chosen. Particular attention is given to higher-risk activities where workers may be vulnerable to coercion or hidden recruitment fees. The Man With Van Twickenham approach is based on prevention, not reaction, and we aim to identify risk early through proportionate due diligence and regular scrutiny.

Reporting Channels and Response

We encourage anyone who suspects modern slavery to raise concerns immediately. Reports may be made through internal reporting channels established for staff and suppliers, and concerns will be handled confidentially wherever possible. Every report is taken seriously, investigated without delay, and escalated appropriately. Retaliation against anyone who reports in good faith is not tolerated.

Our response process focuses on protecting vulnerable individuals and stopping harm. Where needed, we will work with relevant authorities and specialist support organisations. We may also suspend or end business relationships if a supplier fails to cooperate or if evidence of exploitation is identified. Man With Van Twickenham believes that accountability is essential to effective anti-slavery practice.

Training, Monitoring, and Review

Staff involved in procurement, operations, and supplier management receive guidance to help them recognise indicators of forced labour and unethical conduct. Monitoring is continuous, and our controls are adapted when risks change. Annual review is a core part of this statement: we review our policies, supplier assessments, reporting arrangements, and any incidents or lessons learned at least once each year to improve our response.

This statement reflects the ongoing commitment of Man With Van Twickenham to responsible business conduct. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, strengthening supplier audits, supporting safe reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to contribute to a supply chain and workplace that are lawful, fair, and free from exploitation.
