Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Lowerclapton

Man With Van Lowerclapton is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights across every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, servitude, forced labour, human trafficking, and any form of exploitation. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many industries and supply chains, and we take our responsibility seriously to identify, prevent, and address any risk associated with our operations.

Our approach is rooted in clear governance, responsible business conduct, and ongoing vigilance. The leadership team of Man With Van Lowerclapton supports a culture in which unlawful or unethical practices are not accepted. Every worker, contractor, and business partner is expected to act in line with our values and comply with applicable laws. We do not tolerate any behaviour that undermines dignity, safety, or freedom.

This statement applies to all areas of the business, including procurement, subcontracting, logistics support, and service delivery. It also reflects our expectation that suppliers associated with Man With Van Lowerclapton maintain comparable standards. We aim to ensure that our activities do not contribute directly or indirectly to exploitation, abuse, or hidden labour risks in any part of the supply chain.

To support this commitment, we apply proportionate due diligence when selecting and retaining suppliers. Our supplier assessments consider labour practices, recruitment methods, documentation, wage handling, and the use of any third-party labour arrangements. Where risks are identified, we seek clarification, request corrective action, or end the relationship if necessary. Supplier audits are used to verify compliance, particularly where services or materials carry higher risk.

These audits may include review of policies, worker records, right-to-work checks, subcontracting controls, and site-level observations where appropriate. The purpose is not only to detect concerns, but also to encourage continuous improvement and responsible sourcing. Man With Van Lowerclapton expects suppliers to cooperate fully with audits and to maintain transparent records that demonstrate lawful and ethical employment practices.

We also provide internal guidance so staff can recognise signs of modern slavery, such as restricted movement, intimidation, excessive working hours, withheld pay, or unexplained dependency on an employer. Awareness is essential because exploitation is often concealed. By strengthening understanding across the business, Man With Van Lowerclapton improves its ability to prevent harm and act promptly if concerns arise.

Reporting channels are available for anyone who suspects improper conduct. Concerns may be raised through internal management routes, compliance reporting procedures, or any approved whistleblowing mechanism. Reports are handled seriously, with discretion and protection from retaliation wherever possible. No individual will be penalised for raising a concern in good faith. This principle supports openness and helps create a safer working environment for everyone connected with Man With Van Lowerclapton.

Where a concern is reported, it will be reviewed promptly and investigated in a fair and confidential manner. If modern slavery or related misconduct is identified, we will take appropriate action, which may include contract termination, escalation to relevant authorities, remediation steps, and further supplier scrutiny. Our response is designed to protect affected individuals and prevent recurrence.

This statement is also reinforced by contract language requiring suppliers and subcontractors to comply with anti-slavery principles. We encourage transparency throughout the chain of service delivery and expect third parties to maintain adequate controls over recruitment, wages, identity documents, and working conditions. Man With Van Lowerclapton will not knowingly engage with businesses that benefit from exploitation.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with our operational profile and legal obligations. The review will consider supplier performance, audit findings, staff awareness, reported concerns, and any changes in the wider risk environment. Where needed, we will update policies and controls to strengthen our prevention measures.

Man With Van Lowerclapton understands that tackling modern slavery requires persistence and accountability. For that reason, we treat this statement as a living commitment rather than a static document. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, providing secure reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to uphold ethical standards and protect human rights across our business and supply chain.
