Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Hendon

Man And Van Hendon is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions taken to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, warehousing, cleaning, and subcontracted services, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of abuse or coercion.

Our commitment applies to all parts of the business and to every person working on our behalf. We expect employees, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the highest ethical standards. As a responsible Man and Van Hendon service provider, we seek to ensure that our working practices are transparent, lawful, and human-rights focused. Any breach of this statement may result in corrective action, suspension of business, or termination of the relationship.

We also recognise that prevention is most effective when supported by clear governance, regular monitoring, and practical safeguards. Therefore, this Man And Van Hendon modern slavery statement is supported by internal training, supplier due diligence, and escalation routes designed to identify risks early. We will continue to strengthen these measures as our business develops and as risks within our sector change.

Our approach begins with risk assessment. We review our own activities and the third parties we rely on to help deliver services, including subcontracted labour and material suppliers. Where risk is identified, we apply enhanced checks and request evidence of lawful employment practices, worker protections, and ethical recruitment. For higher-risk categories, we carry out supplier audits and assessments to verify compliance with our standards.

Supplier reviews may include document checks, contractual clauses, confirmation of right-to-work controls, and evaluation of wage practices, working hours, and accommodation arrangements where relevant. We expect suppliers to demonstrate that workers are treated with dignity and that no one is subjected to threats, debt bondage, withheld wages, or restriction of movement. This monitoring supports a stronger and more accountable Hendon man and van supply chain.

Where a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we will seek immediate remediation. If concerns cannot be resolved, we will reduce exposure, pause activity, or end the arrangement. This is an essential part of our zero-tolerance policy and reflects our broader duty to prevent harm. We prefer to work with partners who share our ethical values and who actively support lawful, fair employment.

We encourage anyone who suspects modern slavery, exploitation, or unsafe labour practices to raise the matter without delay. Reporting channels are kept accessible and confidential, and concerns may be escalated through management, internal compliance processes, or designated safeguarding routes. Reports are handled seriously, investigated promptly, and shared only with those who need to know in order to take action.

Man And Van Hendon also supports a culture in which workers and partners can speak up without fear of retaliation. We do not tolerate victimisation of anyone who reports a concern in good faith. Training and awareness activities help staff recognise warning signs such as unusual control of workers, signs of intimidation, document retention, or unexplained dependency on third parties. These measures help strengthen prevention across the business.

Records of concerns, investigations, and outcomes are retained to inform future decision-making and improve accountability. By maintaining clear procedures, we aim to respond quickly and responsibly to any issue that may arise. This is part of our continuing commitment as a Man and Van in Hendon provider to operate ethically and to support safe, lawful working conditions.

We will review this statement annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with current law and best practice. The annual review will consider changes in risk, supplier performance, incident trends, and the effectiveness of training and audit activity. Where improvements are needed, they will be implemented without delay.

The review process is led by management and supported by relevant operational teams so that modern slavery risks are considered across the full service lifecycle. Any updates to policies, supplier controls, or reporting arrangements will be communicated internally and embedded into day-to-day practice. This approach helps keep the Man And Van Hendon modern slavery policy practical and current.

Through this statement, Man And Van Hendon confirms its ongoing determination to prevent exploitation, protect vulnerable people, and uphold ethical business conduct. We will continue to strengthen our controls, collaborate only with responsible partners, and maintain vigilance across our operations and supply chains. Our aim is simple: to ensure that every part of the Hendon Man and Van service is delivered with respect, legality, and integrity.
