Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Romford

At Man With Van Romford, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take 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 approach to any activity that may contribute to exploitation. Our commitment applies across all areas of the business, from internal practices to third-party relationships, and is supported by clear policies, oversight, and accountability.

As a trusted man and van service in Romford, we understand that responsible operations depend on ethical behaviour at every level. We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to comply with applicable laws and to uphold the same high standards that guide our own work. This statement reflects our ongoing efforts to identify, assess, and reduce the risk of modern slavery in our operations, while promoting a culture where dignity, transparency, and lawful conduct are central to decision-making. We believe that prevention is strongest when expectations are clear and responsibilities are shared.

Our business relies on a network of partners who provide goods and services essential to our operations. For this reason, we apply due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers, with particular attention to labour practices, workforce treatment, and compliance history. Supplier audits are used where appropriate to assess risk and confirm that appropriate safeguards are in place. These checks may include document reviews, questionnaires, and follow-up discussions designed to identify potential warning signs. If concerns arise, we reserve the right to request corrective actions or end the relationship where standards are not met.

We also aim to raise awareness among our team so that everyone understands how to recognise and respond to possible indicators of exploitation. Training and internal communication help reinforce the importance of ethical conduct, fair treatment, and vigilance in everyday activities. Employees are encouraged to remain alert to unusual working conditions, restricted freedom, withholding of documents, or other indicators that may suggest abuse. By building awareness, Man With Van Romford strengthens its ability to prevent harm and respond appropriately to potential risks.

Reporting concerns is a vital part of our modern slavery prevention framework. We provide reporting channels that allow workers and stakeholders to raise issues safely and without fear of retaliation. Concerns may be reported internally through management or through designated escalation processes, and all reports are treated seriously and handled with discretion. Where necessary, we will investigate promptly, document findings, and take corrective action. This approach ensures that potential problems are addressed early and that individuals feel supported in speaking up.

We recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time, particularly as supply chains, labour markets, and service arrangements evolve. For that reason, our controls are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain effective and proportionate. Risk assessments help us determine where additional oversight may be needed, while internal checks support the consistent application of our standards. Where any concern is identified, we will respond with urgency, which may include enhanced monitoring, contractual review, or removal of a supplier from our approved list.

This statement is overseen by senior management, who are responsible for ensuring that anti-slavery commitments remain embedded in business practice. They review policy implementation, monitor risk controls, and confirm that improvements are made where necessary. Man With Van Romford expects leadership to demonstrate accountability and to support a culture in which ethical conduct is a normal part of day-to-day decision-making. Clear responsibilities help ensure that our man with van operations continue to reflect our values and legal obligations.

Annual review is an essential part of our commitment to continuous improvement. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our approach, including supplier due diligence, audit activity, internal awareness, and reporting mechanisms. This review allows us to identify emerging risks and strengthen our response where needed. We may update policies, improve training, or revise supplier checks in light of new information or changing circumstances. Through this process, we ensure that our response to modern slavery remains active rather than static.

In summary, Man With Van Romford is dedicated to preventing modern slavery in all its forms and maintaining a responsible, ethical business environment. Our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process work together to reduce risk and support accountability. We will continue to monitor our operations and supply chain carefully, making improvements whenever necessary. By remaining alert and committed, we aim to uphold the highest standards of respect, integrity, and lawful conduct across every part of our business.
