Modern Slavery Statement for Man with Van Coney Hall
Man with Van Coney Hall is committed to operating ethically and with integrity in all of our business activities. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. It applies to all staff, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers engaged with our business.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
We adopt a zero-tolerance stance towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, debt bondage, and child labour. We will not knowingly engage with any individual, organisation, or supplier involved in such practices. Compliance with this stance is a fundamental condition of working with Man with Van Coney Hall.
All employees and contractors are expected to uphold the highest standards of honesty, fairness, and respect for human rights. Any action or omission that facilitates, conceals, or ignores modern slavery is completely unacceptable and may lead to disciplinary action, including termination of contracts or working arrangements.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Man with Van Coney Hall provides transport and moving services, including residential and commercial removals. Our operations rely on vehicles, equipment, fuel, and various support services sourced from external suppliers. We recognise that risks related to modern slavery can potentially exist at different levels of these supply chains, particularly where there is the use of temporary labour, subcontracted services, or outsourced goods.
We are committed to understanding these risks and to implementing proportionate and effective safeguards to reduce the possibility of exploitation linked to our activities.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We expect all suppliers, subcontractors, and service providers to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery. We require suppliers to comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws in the jurisdictions where they operate.
As part of our due diligence process, we conduct risk-based assessments and checks on new and existing suppliers. Where appropriate, we may request written confirmations of compliance, review documented policies, or seek evidence of responsible labour practices. We reserve the right to carry out audits or inspections, either announced or unannounced, to verify that suppliers meet our standards.
If a supplier is found to be in breach of our expectations regarding modern slavery, we will take appropriate corrective action. This may include requiring immediate remedial steps, suspending orders, or terminating the business relationship in serious or persistent cases.
Reporting Concerns and Safe Channels
We encourage anyone working for or with Man with Van Coney Hall to speak up if they have concerns about possible modern slavery or human trafficking in our operations or supply chains. Concerns may relate to working conditions, recruitment practices, withholding of identification documents, restriction of movement, or any other indicator of exploitation.
Reports can be made to management or through any established internal reporting routes. Individuals raising concerns are encouraged to provide as much detail as possible so that issues can be investigated effectively. We will take all reports seriously and handle them sensitively, and we will not tolerate any form of retaliation against a person who raises a concern in good faith.
Training, Awareness, and Responsibility
Responsibility for overseeing this Modern Slavery Statement and its implementation sits with the senior management of Man with Van Coney Hall. Managers are expected to ensure that relevant staff are aware of this policy and understand the signs of modern slavery and how to report concerns.
Where appropriate, we will provide guidance and information to staff who are involved in supplier selection, contract management, and frontline operations, helping them to recognise risk factors and to act in accordance with our zero-tolerance approach.
Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement
We are committed to continuous improvement in our efforts to prevent modern slavery. This includes reviewing our supplier due diligence, risk assessment processes, and reporting mechanisms to ensure they remain effective, practical, and proportionate to our business.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually by senior management to reflect changes in legislation, best practice, and the nature of our operations. Any updates or enhancements to our approach will be communicated within the business and, where relevant, to our suppliers. By publishing this statement, Man with Van Coney Hall reaffirms its commitment to conducting business in a way that respects and promotes the rights and dignity of all people.
