Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Tottenham

Man With A Van Tottenham is committed to conducting business responsibly, ethically, and with full respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by Man With A Van Tottenham to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in its operations and supply chains. We recognise that any form of exploitation is unacceptable, and we apply a zero-tolerance policy toward abuse, coercion, or deceptive recruitment practices.

Our Commitment to Ethical Operations

The team at Tottenham Man With A Van understands that even service-based businesses can face risks where contractors, suppliers, or labour providers are involved. For that reason, our business approach is founded on due diligence, transparency, and accountability. We expect everyone working with Man With A Van Tottenham to uphold the same standards, whether they are providing transport support, storage assistance, vehicle maintenance, or related services. Modern slavery has no place in our operations.

We are committed to ensuring that all personnel are treated fairly, are paid lawfully, and work voluntarily. In line with this principle, our managers are instructed to remain alert to warning signs such as restricted movement, withholding of documents, debt bondage, or unsafe working conditions. Any concerns raised are investigated promptly and handled with seriousness and discretion.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

To reduce risk across our supply chain, Man With A Van Tottenham applies proportionate screening to suppliers and business partners. We seek assurances that they comply with applicable labour laws and maintain ethical employment practices. Where appropriate, we require suppliers to confirm that they do not use trafficked, forced, or underage labour in any part of their operations.

Supplier monitoring includes periodic supplier audits, document reviews, and checks on labour sourcing arrangements. These audits may assess recruitment practices, wage records, subcontracting controls, and worker welfare arrangements. If a supplier is found to fall short of our standards, we expect corrective action within a defined timeframe. Failure to improve may result in suspension or termination of the relationship.

Risk Awareness and Training

As part of our ongoing commitment, staff involved in procurement, operations, and supervision receive guidance on identifying and responding to indicators of exploitation. This helps reinforce a culture where ethical conduct is not optional but essential. We also encourage careful oversight of any third parties acting on behalf of Tottenham Man With A Van, especially where work is time-sensitive or seasonal.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

We believe that concerns should be raised without fear of retaliation. Clear reporting channels are available so that employees, contractors, and suppliers can report suspected wrongdoing confidentially and in good faith. Reports may include concerns about coercion, unsafe living conditions, withheld pay, or unusual recruitment fees. All allegations are reviewed promptly, and where necessary, escalated for further investigation and corrective action.

Our whistleblowing approach is designed to support openness and accountability. We do not tolerate victimisation of anyone who raises a concern honestly. This commitment is an important safeguard within the controls used by Man With A Van Tottenham to prevent exploitation and strengthen trust across the business.

We also expect our supply partners to maintain their own reporting procedures and to notify us immediately if they become aware of any suspected abuse, trafficking, or labour exploitation linked to our work. Such cooperation supports faster intervention and helps protect vulnerable individuals.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and good practice. During the review, we assess any incidents, audit findings, supplier performance, and feedback from internal monitoring. Improvements may include updated due diligence checks, refreshed training, stronger contract clauses, or enhanced oversight of subcontractors.

Through this ongoing process, Man With A Van Tottenham seeks to strengthen its prevention measures year after year. Our aim is not only compliance, but active responsibility: to operate a service that respects human dignity, promotes fair work, and stands firmly against all forms of modern slavery.
