Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Denmarkhill

Man With Van Denmarkhill is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human dignity in every part of our business. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative working practices within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the logistics and removals sector can involve multiple contractors, temporary workers, and external suppliers, so vigilance is essential. Our approach is grounded in a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery.

We expect all employees, agency workers, subcontractors, and business partners to uphold the same ethical standards. As a responsible Man With Van Denmarkhill service provider, we believe that safe working conditions, fair treatment, and lawful employment practices are fundamental. Any suspected breach of this statement is taken seriously and investigated promptly. Where necessary, we will suspend or terminate relationships with parties that fail to meet our standards.

Our commitment is supported by internal controls designed to reduce risk and strengthen accountability. This includes identity and right-to-work checks, due diligence on suppliers, and periodic monitoring of labour practices. We also provide guidance to relevant staff so they can recognise warning signs such as withheld documents, excessive working hours, or unusual recruitment fees. The aim is to ensure that Man With Van Denmarkhill does not knowingly benefit from exploitation in any form.

Supplier Standards and Audits

Supplier relationships are a key focus of our anti-slavery measures. Before engaging new suppliers, we assess their reputation, labour practices, and contractual commitment to ethical conduct. Existing suppliers may be subject to supplier audits based on risk, sector, and performance. These reviews may include document checks, compliance questionnaires, and verification of employment practices. If concerns are identified, we require corrective action and may repeat the audit to confirm improvements.

Our procurement expectations require suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, or deceptive recruitment practices. We also ask them to ensure that any subcontractors they use meet the same standards. This layered approach helps protect the integrity of the Man With Van Denmarkhill supply chain and promotes transparency across all service arrangements. When risk levels are higher, we apply enhanced due diligence and closer oversight.

We recognise that ethical sourcing is not a one-time exercise but an ongoing responsibility. For that reason, supplier compliance is reviewed regularly and recorded in line with internal governance procedures. If a supplier fails to cooperate with an audit or provides misleading information, the relationship may be reviewed immediately. Our expectation is simple: every supplier working with Man With Van Denmarkhill must share our commitment to lawful and fair labour standards.

Reporting Concerns and Review

We encourage anyone connected with our operations to report concerns about possible modern slavery without delay. Reports may be made through internal management channels, and all concerns are handled discreetly and in good faith. Individuals raising concerns will not face retaliation for speaking up. Where a report suggests immediate danger or serious abuse, it will be escalated promptly and investigated in line with our safeguarding procedures.

Our reporting framework is designed to make it easier for workers, suppliers, and contractors to highlight suspicious behaviour, including recruitment misconduct, intimidation, or signs of coercion. We believe that open reporting helps protect vulnerable people and strengthens trust throughout the Man With Van Denmarkhill business. Any allegation is reviewed carefully, with appropriate action taken where evidence supports it.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and best practice. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, changes in our supplier base, and any lessons learned from incidents or investigations. Where improvements are identified, we update our policies, controls, and training accordingly. Man With Van Denmarkhill is committed to continuous improvement and to doing our part to prevent modern slavery wherever our business operates.
