Man With Van Kensington is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the principles and controls that guide our operations and supplier relationships. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking, and exploitation. Our zero-tolerance policy applies across every level of our business, and we expect the same commitment from every partner, contractor, and supplier associated with Man With Van Kensington.

We understand that responsibility begins with leadership. Management holds clear accountability for ensuring that anti-slavery practices are embedded into decision-making, recruitment, procurement, and service delivery. Through regular training and internal awareness, we help staff identify risks and act appropriately where concerns arise. The policy is not treated as a formality; it is a core part of how we operate as a trusted Man With Van Kensington service provider.

Our approach to prevention starts with due diligence. Before entering new commercial relationships, we assess suppliers based on the nature of their work, geographical risk, labour practices, and their own compliance standards. Where appropriate, we request evidence of policies, worker protections, and ethical sourcing controls. In higher-risk cases, we carry out enhanced checks to ensure that any Man With Van Kensington supplier arrangement aligns with our expectations and does not expose workers to harm.

Supplier oversight does not end once a contract is signed. Supplier audits are an important part of our safeguarding framework, helping us monitor whether ethical commitments are being upheld in practice. These audits may include document reviews, workforce checks, and assessments of subcontracting arrangements. If a supplier is found to fall short of our standards, we require corrective action within a defined timeframe. Where necessary, we will suspend or end the relationship. This reinforces our zero-tolerance stance and demonstrates that exploitation has no place in the Man With Van Kensington supply chain.

Reporting and Escalation Channels

We encourage all employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report concerns about possible modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports may be raised through internal management routes or through designated compliance channels. Concerns can relate to recruitment practices, working hours, wages, identity document retention, coercion, unsafe conditions, or any other sign of exploitation. Every allegation is treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with confidentiality where possible. The Man With Van Kensington team is expected to cooperate fully during investigations and remediation.

To support effective reporting, we maintain a culture of openness and accountability. Staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs and on escalating concerns immediately if something seems wrong. We also ensure that reporting channels are accessible to those who may be vulnerable or reluctant to speak up. This commitment strengthens trust across our operations and helps protect workers linked to Man With Van Kensington services from abuse or hidden exploitation.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

Our statement is not static. It is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, proportionate, and aligned with legal obligations and best practice. The review considers supplier performance, audit findings, reported concerns, training completion, and any changes in risk exposure. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures and strengthen controls accordingly. This ongoing process helps keep Man With Van Kensington alert to emerging risks and better prepared to prevent modern slavery in all forms.

We also recognise the importance of collaboration. In cases where risks are identified, we work with suppliers to improve standards and protect affected workers, provided there is genuine willingness to change. However, where exploitation is suspected or confirmed, we will act decisively, guided by our zero-tolerance policy and ethical responsibilities. Our aim is to maintain a business model that is transparent, lawful, and respectful of human dignity.

Through strong governance, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and an annual review cycle, Man With Van Kensington continues to reinforce its commitment to preventing modern slavery. We believe that ethical business practice is essential to long-term trust and sustainable service delivery, and we will continue to improve our controls as part of this responsibility.
