Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Canonbury
Man With Van Canonbury is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many sectors and forms, and we take a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines dignity, freedom, or lawful employment.
Our commitment applies to every part of the business, including recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and day-to-day operations. At Man With Van Canonbury, we expect all colleagues and business partners to uphold the highest ethical standards. We aim to identify, prevent, and address risks through robust controls, clear accountability, and ongoing awareness. This statement reflects our belief that responsible business practice is not optional; it is essential.
We work to ensure that every worker is treated lawfully and fairly, with proper documentation, safe working conditions, and the freedom to leave employment in accordance with the law. Our modern slavery prevention framework is designed to support due diligence and transparency, while also encouraging vigilance at every level of the organisation. Whether we refer to the company as Man With Van Canonbury, Canonbury man and van services, or Man With Van in Canonbury, our standards remain the same.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
We maintain a firm zero-tolerance policy for modern slavery and human trafficking. No employee, supplier, or contractor may engage in coercion, debt bondage, deceptive recruitment, withheld wages, identity document retention, or any other exploitative conduct. If a concern is raised, it will be investigated promptly and fairly, and appropriate action will be taken, including suspension or termination of relationships where necessary.
To support this policy, Man With Van Canonbury requires lawful hiring practices, age verification where relevant, and adherence to employment and labour regulations. Managers are expected to remain alert to warning signs such as unusual control over workers, restricted movement, or evidence of intimidation. Modern slavery prevention is embedded into our internal expectations so that prevention is part of everyday decision-making, not a separate exercise.
In addition, we promote awareness among staff and decision-makers so that they understand what modern slavery can look like in practice. Training and guidance help colleagues identify risks early and respond appropriately. This approach strengthens our culture of responsibility and supports our long-term commitment to ethical service delivery across Canonbury man with van operations and associated business relationships.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
We recognise that supply chains can present heightened risks, particularly where labour is sourced through intermediaries or subcontractors. For that reason, we undertake proportionate due diligence when selecting suppliers and service partners. This may include reviewing business credentials, employment practices, and evidence of compliance with relevant laws and standards.
Supplier audits
are an important part of our control process. We may audit suppliers periodically or where risk indicators are identified, checking for lawful recruitment, fair pay, working hours, and safe conditions. Where shortcomings are found, we expect corrective action plans and measurable improvement. Failure to cooperate or repeated breaches may result in ending the relationship. By applying this standard consistently, Man With Van Canonbury helps reduce exposure to exploitative practices in the wider supply chain.We also expect suppliers to maintain their own safeguards, communicate their policies clearly, and ensure that any subcontractors they use meet equivalent standards. This shared responsibility is central to our procurement approach and reinforces our position that ethical conduct must extend beyond direct employees to every linked business partner.
Reporting, Review, and Continuous Improvement
We encourage anyone with a concern about modern slavery, unsafe labour practices, or unethical recruitment to report it through the channels available within the business. Reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated without retaliation. Protecting those who raise concerns is essential, and we support a culture where speaking up is welcomed and respected.
Our reporting channels are designed to allow concerns to be raised promptly by staff, contractors, or supply chain contacts. Any issue will be reviewed by the relevant management lead, with escalation where necessary. We also keep records of concerns, actions taken, and outcomes so that patterns can be identified and lessons learned. This helps Man With Van Canonbury respond effectively and continuously improve its safeguards.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with applicable legislation and operational risk. The annual review will consider changes in business activity, supplier risk, reporting trends, and the effectiveness of training and audits. Through regular review, Man With Van Canonbury reaffirms its commitment to ethical practice, human rights, and the prevention of modern slavery in all forms.
