Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Hamptonhill

Man With Van Hamptonhill is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative practices within our operations and throughout our supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many industries and can appear in hidden forms, so vigilance is essential across every level of our business.

Our approach is guided by a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of slavery or exploitation. This applies to our employees, contractors, suppliers, and any third parties acting on our behalf. We expect all individuals connected with Man With Van Hamptonhill to uphold the same ethical standards, and we will not knowingly engage with organisations that fail to demonstrate compliance with applicable labour and human rights laws.

We are committed to identifying and reducing risk through clear governance, responsible procurement, and ongoing monitoring. Our business relationships are built on transparency, and we require suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, trafficked, or child labour. Where risks are identified, we act promptly and proportionately, ensuring that corrective measures are taken or relationships are ended where necessary.

Our Policies and Controls

To support our commitment, Man With Van Hamptonhill maintains internal policies that promote lawful employment, fair treatment, and safe working conditions. These controls cover recruitment practices, wage compliance, working hours, and the verification of worker eligibility. We also encourage responsible decision-making in procurement, with preference given to partners who can demonstrate ethical labour practices and reliable oversight.

Supplier due diligence is a central part of our prevention strategy. Before entering into a commercial relationship, we assess suppliers using a risk-based approach that considers geography, industry, labour intensity, and the nature of the goods or services provided. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to enhanced review, document checks, and further questioning to ensure they meet our standards.

Supplier audits are conducted where appropriate to verify compliance. These audits may include assessment of labour records, subcontracting arrangements, wage documentation, and workforce management processes. If a supplier is found to be non-compliant, we may require an improvement plan, increased monitoring, or immediate termination of the relationship depending on the severity of the concern.

Reporting Concerns and Raising Issues

We encourage an open culture in which concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery can be reported through internal management channels, and all reports are treated seriously and confidentially. We aim to investigate concerns promptly, protect the identity of those who speak up where possible, and take decisive action when risks are confirmed.

Staff and contractors are trained to recognise indicators of exploitation, including restricted movement, withheld wages, poor accommodation conditions, excessive control, or signs of coercion. By promoting awareness, Man With Van Hamptonhill strengthens its ability to detect concerns early and respond responsibly. We believe that effective reporting channels are essential to maintaining trust and accountability across the organisation.

Monitoring, Improvement, and Review

Our commitment does not end with policy adoption. We continuously review our operations and supplier relationships to strengthen protection against modern slavery. This includes monitoring emerging risks, improving procurement checks, and reinforcing awareness among those involved in business decision-making. Where required, we will update our controls to reflect changes in legislation, risk profile, or operational practice.

Annual review is a key part of this statement. Each year, Man With Van Hamptonhill evaluates the effectiveness of its measures, reviews supplier performance, and considers whether additional safeguards are needed. The findings of this review inform future actions and ensure our statement remains relevant, practical, and aligned with our ethical responsibilities.

Through this ongoing commitment, Man With Van Hamptonhill seeks to play its part in preventing modern slavery and promoting dignified, lawful, and responsible working practices throughout its business and supply chains.
