Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Tottenham

Man With A Van Tottenham is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by our moving and transport service to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation in any part of our operations. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that undermines dignity, fairness, or lawful employment.

As a service provider operating across Tottenham and surrounding areas, Man With A Van Tottenham understands that risks may exist within logistics, subcontracting, recruitment, and supply chains. Our commitment applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers associated with Man With A Van Tottenham. We expect everyone who works with us to share our standards and to act with integrity at all times.

We prohibit the use of forced, bonded, or trafficked labour in any form. Our zero-tolerance policy means that any credible concern involving exploitation is treated seriously and investigated promptly. This applies equally to direct workers and to any third party acting on behalf of Man With A Van Tottenham.

Our Approach to Risk Management

To reduce the risk of modern slavery in our operations, we apply due diligence when engaging suppliers, subcontractors, and labour providers. The Man With A Van Tottenham team reviews business practices, employment standards, and relevant documentation before entering into working relationships. Where appropriate, we require assurances that workers are treated lawfully, fairly, and with respect.

Our supplier audits are an important part of this process. These audits may include checks on worker records, wage arrangements, right-to-work compliance, and evidence of safe, ethical labour practices. If a supplier fails to meet expectations, Man With A Van Tottenham may request corrective action, increase monitoring, or end the relationship where necessary.

We also recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time. For that reason, our risk assessments are not a one-time exercise. Man With A Van Tottenham reviews key suppliers periodically, especially where work involves manual labour, temporary staffing, or cross-border movement of goods. This helps us identify concerns early and respond appropriately.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting

Awareness is central to prevention. Our staff are encouraged to recognise warning signs such as restricted freedom of movement, unusual control over wages, signs of intimidation, or workers being unable to speak freely about their employment. Through internal communication and training, Man With A Van Tottenham promotes a culture where concerns are taken seriously and acted upon without delay.

We provide clear reporting channels so that employees and associated workers can raise concerns in confidence. Reports may be made through line management, senior leadership, or other approved internal reporting routes. Every concern is reviewed discreetly, and no one will be penalised for raising a genuine issue in good faith. Man With A Van Tottenham will investigate allegations promptly and take appropriate action where needed.

We expect suppliers to maintain similar reporting standards within their own businesses. Ethical conduct is a condition of working with Man With A Van Tottenham, and we reserve the right to review contracts if modern slavery concerns are identified. This expectation helps us extend our safeguards beyond our immediate workforce.

Governance and Annual Review

Responsibility for this statement and related actions sits with the management of Man With A Van Tottenham. Leadership is accountable for ensuring that modern slavery risks are monitored, incidents are addressed, and preventative measures remain effective. Governance arrangements are designed to ensure that this commitment is embedded in everyday business practice, not treated as a formality.

This statement will be reviewed annually to reflect changes in operations, legislation, and supply chain risk. During each review, we will assess the effectiveness of our controls, including supplier audits, reporting channels, and training activity. Where improvements are needed, Man With A Van Tottenham will update its policies and procedures accordingly.

By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, strengthening supplier oversight, supporting safe reporting, and committing to annual review, Man With A Van Tottenham continues to stand against all forms of modern slavery and exploitation.
