Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Maidahill
Man With A Van Maidahill is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that exploits individuals or undermines their dignity.
As a local removals and transport service, we understand that our responsibilities extend beyond day-to-day service delivery. Every Man With A Van Maidahill activity is guided by fair treatment, lawful employment, and careful oversight of the partners we work with. We expect our team, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the same standards and to act with integrity at all times.
Our Commitment and Core Principles
We will not knowingly work with any person or organisation involved in exploitative labour practices. Our Man With A Van Maidahill modern slavery approach includes risk awareness, responsible procurement, and action where concerns arise. We aim to create a working environment where ethical conduct is normal, and where workers are treated fairly, paid lawfully, and protected from coercion.
We expect all suppliers, subcontractors, and business partners to follow applicable employment, immigration, and health and safety laws. Before entering or renewing agreements, we assess the nature of the service, the location of work, and any indicators that may present elevated risk. Where necessary, we seek additional assurances to make sure our Man With A Van Maidahill supply chain remains transparent and accountable.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
Supplier oversight is central to this statement. We carry out proportionate supplier audits and reviews to check for compliance with our standards. These checks may include document verification, contract reviews, and scrutiny of labour practices where relevant. If a concern is identified, we investigate promptly and may require corrective action, increased monitoring, or termination of the relationship if the issue is not resolved.
Our due diligence process also considers subcontracting arrangements and any indirect labour providers. We ask suppliers to confirm that they have their own controls against exploitation and that they can demonstrate lawful recruitment and employment practices. This helps ensure that the broader Man With A Van Maidahill network operates responsibly.
Employees and contractors are encouraged to remain alert to warning signs such as unusual wage deductions, restricted movement, withheld documents, or signs of intimidation. We promote awareness so that people involved in Man With A Van Maidahill operations understand how to identify and escalate concerns without delay. Training and internal communications support this approach and reinforce our expectations.
We maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and promptly. Reports may be made through line management, internal compliance processes, or designated safeguarding routes, depending on the nature of the issue. All concerns are treated seriously, handled discreetly, and investigated with appropriate urgency. Retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith is not tolerated.
If evidence of modern slavery is found, we will take decisive action. This may include suspending work, reviewing contracts, notifying relevant authorities, and supporting any affected individual where appropriate. Our modern slavery statement is not symbolic; it is an active commitment to prevention, detection, and remedy.
Governance, Monitoring, and Review
Senior management holds responsibility for overseeing compliance with this statement and ensuring that risk controls remain effective. The Man With A Van Maidahill modern slavery policy is reviewed alongside wider business risks, procurement practice, and workforce management. We also monitor the performance of suppliers and contractors to identify patterns that may require further intervention.We recognise that risks can change over time, particularly as supply chains evolve. For that reason, this statement is subject to an annual review so that it continues to reflect current operations, legal developments, and best practice. The review may result in updates to audit processes, training, supplier requirements, or reporting arrangements.
Through ongoing vigilance, responsible oversight, and a zero-tolerance policy, Man With A Van Maidahill remains committed to preventing exploitation in every part of its business. We will continue strengthening our controls and working only with partners who share our dedication to lawful, ethical, and respectful conduct.
