Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Ickenham

Man With A Van Ickenham is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Man With A Van Ickenham to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, and we take a zero-tolerance policy approach to any practice that exploits vulnerable people.

Our commitment applies to every part of the business, including procurement, logistics, subcontracted services, and any external supplier relationship. We expect the same high standards from all those who work with or on behalf of us. As a responsible Man With A Van Ickenham service provider, we aim to ensure that all workers are treated fairly, lawfully, and with dignity.

We have established clear internal procedures to identify, assess, and reduce the risk of modern slavery. These procedures include due diligence checks, supplier screening, and review of labour practices where appropriate. We also require staff and contractors to understand their responsibilities in upholding ethical working conditions and to remain alert to warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, or intimidation.

Supplier relationships are an important part of our business, and we apply proportionate controls to help ensure ethical standards are maintained. Supplier audits may be carried out on a risk-based basis to review labour practices, subcontracting arrangements, recruitment processes, and record keeping. Where concerns are identified, we expect suppliers to take immediate corrective action.

Any supplier found to be in breach of our standards may be subject to remedial requirements, suspension, or termination of the relationship depending on the severity of the issue. This approach supports our wider goal of maintaining a fair and responsible supply chain for Man With A Van Ickenham operations. We also seek evidence that suppliers share our values and apply lawful employment practices.

Training and awareness are essential parts of our response. Relevant employees receive guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation and on how to escalate concerns appropriately. We encourage a culture in which concerns can be raised early and handled carefully. In this way, our Man With A Van Ickenham modern slavery statement supports prevention as well as response.

We provide accessible reporting channels so that staff, contractors, and suppliers can raise concerns in confidence and without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes or designated safeguarding processes, and all disclosures are treated seriously. Confidential reporting is important because it helps identify risk before harm becomes entrenched.

Any allegation or suspicion of modern slavery is reviewed promptly, and where necessary, escalated for further investigation. We will work with relevant parties to understand the facts and to determine the appropriate corrective action. If evidence suggests a criminal or safeguarding issue, the matter will be referred to the proper external authorities. Our aim is to ensure that modern slavery risks are addressed swiftly and responsibly.

The effectiveness of our measures is monitored through regular internal review, supplier checks, and ongoing assessment of risk exposure. We seek to strengthen controls where weaknesses are found and to update processes in line with evolving best practice. This commitment is reflected across the wider Man With A Van Ickenham policy framework, which prioritises lawful conduct and ethical responsibility.

Annual review of this statement is undertaken to ensure it remains current, relevant, and effective. Each review considers changes in the business, supply chain developments, and any incidents or concerns reported during the year. Findings from the review inform improvements to procedures, training, and supplier oversight.

By reviewing our approach every year, Man With A Van Ickenham reinforces its commitment to preventing exploitation and promoting accountability. We understand that modern slavery can be hidden and complex, so our response must remain active, practical, and proportionate. This statement reflects our ongoing dedication to ethical business practices and the protection of human rights.
