Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Haringey

Man And Van Haringey is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that transport, removals, and logistics services can present risks in subcontracting, labour sourcing, and supplier relationships. For that reason, Man And Van Haringey maintains a clear zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery.

Our approach is based on transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. We require all personnel, contractors, and suppliers associated with Haringey Man and Van services to uphold legal and ethical standards. Where risks are identified, we take prompt and appropriate action. This statement applies to our internal practices and to the wider network that supports the delivery of our services.

We believe that preventing exploitation is not only a legal obligation but also a core part of responsible business practice. The leadership of Man And Van Haringey is responsible for implementing this commitment, ensuring that policies are understood, and monitoring compliance throughout the organisation and among business partners.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Man And Van Haringey does not tolerate slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, child labour, debt bondage, or any related abuse. Any indication of coercion, deception, withholding of wages, restriction of movement, or unsafe working conditions will be treated as a serious concern. Our policy applies across recruitment, onboarding, subcontracting, procurement, and day-to-day service delivery.

Managers are expected to act swiftly when concerns arise. If a worker, supplier, or associate is found to be violating this policy, we may suspend the relationship, investigate the matter, and notify the relevant authorities where required. The same standard applies whether the issue occurs directly within the business or in the wider Man and Van Haringey operations supply chain.

Supplier Audits

To reduce risk, we conduct proportionate supplier audits and due diligence checks. These reviews help us assess employment practices, subcontracting arrangements, wage compliance, and labour sourcing methods. Where appropriate, audits may include document reviews, verification of right-to-work processes, and assessment of working conditions. Suppliers are expected to cooperate fully and provide accurate information.

When concerns are identified, we work with suppliers to agree corrective actions within a defined timeframe. If improvement is not demonstrated, we reserve the right to end the relationship. This approach supports responsible procurement and helps protect workers from exploitation across Man And Van Haringey and its associated service providers.

Reporting Channels

We encourage anyone connected with our business to report concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports may be made to a manager, a senior representative, or through other internal reporting processes. All concerns are handled sensitively, and we aim to protect those who raise issues in good faith from retaliation or disadvantage. Confidentiality is maintained wherever possible.

We also promote an environment where workers feel able to speak up if they notice warning signs, such as excessive control, intimidation, identity document retention, or unexplained deductions from pay. Prompt reporting allows Haringey Man and Van to investigate and act early, reducing harm and strengthening our controls.

Training, Monitoring, and Continuous Improvement

Relevant staff receive awareness training to help them recognise modern slavery indicators and understand escalation steps. We review procurement decisions, labour arrangements, and subcontracting risks as part of our wider compliance activity. Senior management monitors this work and ensures that findings are recorded and addressed.

Annual Review

This statement and the related procedures are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The review considers changes in risk profile, supplier performance, reported concerns, audit outcomes, and opportunities for improvement. Any updates are approved by leadership and communicated where necessary.

By maintaining this annual cycle, Man And Van Haringey strengthens its commitment to ethical operations and responsible service delivery. We aim to ensure that our business remains a place where workers are treated fairly, dignity is respected, and exploitation has no place.

Conclusion

The prevention of modern slavery is a shared responsibility, and Man And Van Haringey is committed to playing its part through vigilant oversight, supplier accountability, and a culture of integrity. This statement reflects our ongoing resolve to uphold human rights in every aspect of our work.
