Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Charlton

Man With Van Charlton 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 Van Charlton to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and across our supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, debt bondage, child exploitation, and servitude. Our zero-tolerance approach applies to every area of the business, from recruitment and employment practices to the selection of suppliers and subcontractors.

As a responsible removal and transport service provider, Man With Van Charlton understands that vigilance is essential. We expect all staff, contractors, and business partners to act ethically and to uphold the same standards we set for ourselves. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to fair treatment, lawful working conditions, and the prevention of exploitation in every part of our Man With Van Charlton removals operation.

Our zero-tolerance policy means that we will not knowingly engage with any individual or organisation involved in modern slavery. All employment decisions are made in line with applicable law, and we prohibit retention of identity documents, unlawful deductions, coercion, intimidation, or any practice that could limit a worker’s freedom. Within Charlton man with van services, we promote clear contracts, lawful pay arrangements, and safe working conditions.

Supply Chain Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We aim to work only with suppliers who share our values. Before entering into new commercial relationships, Man With Van Charlton assesses suppliers based on risk, reputation, and their commitment to ethical labour practices. Where appropriate, we request evidence of compliance with labour laws and may seek assurances regarding recruitment practices, worker accommodation, and subcontracting controls. These checks help reduce the risk of hidden exploitation within our broader supply chain.

Supplier audits form an important part of our prevention framework. Depending on the nature of the service and the level of risk identified, Man With Van Charlton services may conduct periodic audits, document reviews, or compliance questionnaires. If concerns arise, we reserve the right to request corrective action, pause business activity, or end a relationship where standards are not met. We also encourage suppliers to cascade the same expectations to their own workforce and partners.

We maintain accurate records of supplier assessments and follow up on any issues identified during reviews. The purpose of these audits is not only to verify compliance, but also to support continuous improvement. Man With Van Charlton recognises that the prevention of modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility, and our approach is proportionate to the risks associated with each supplier or service arrangement.

Reporting Channels, Training, and Accountability

Everyone working with or for Man With Van Charlton is encouraged to raise concerns about unethical conduct, including any suspicion of modern slavery, without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes, and concerns will be treated seriously, confidentially, and promptly. We foster a culture in which speaking up is supported, and in which concerns are investigated fairly and thoroughly.

To strengthen awareness, relevant staff receive information on recognising warning signs such as restricted movement, signs of control, unexplained dependence, or unsafe working conditions. Managers are expected to lead by example and to act immediately if a concern is identified. In our Charlton van with man operations, accountability is shared across the business, with senior oversight ensuring that ethical standards are embedded in everyday practice.

We also review recruitment and onboarding practices to ensure workers are verified appropriately and that no one is placed in a vulnerable position through unfair terms or misleading arrangements. This includes confirming that all personnel have the right to work and are treated in a manner consistent with dignity, fairness, and applicable employment law.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The review considers changes in our operations, supplier base, risk profile, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Where improvements are needed, Man With Van Charlton will update policies, strengthen controls, and enhance training as appropriate.

Our annual review also provides an opportunity to measure progress and confirm that our zero-tolerance policy is being applied consistently. By continuing to improve our due diligence, supplier audits, and reporting processes, Man With Van Charlton services aims to maintain a robust and ethical approach to business. We are committed to acting responsibly, protecting vulnerable people, and ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our organisation or supply chain.
