Man And A Van Roehampton is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human dignity. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the practical steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking within our operations and across our supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect any sector, and we apply a zero-tolerance policy to every aspect of our work.

Our commitment extends to all employees, contractors, and business partners associated with Man and Van Roehampton. We expect everyone acting on our behalf to uphold the highest ethical standards and to share our responsibility to identify, prevent, and address risk. This statement reflects our ongoing efforts to strengthen responsible business practices through clear expectations, ongoing oversight, and continuous improvement.

We understand that vigilance is essential. For this reason, our approach includes risk assessment, supplier due diligence, and regular monitoring of relationships that may present vulnerability. By taking proactive measures, Man And A Van Roehampton seeks to ensure that our services are delivered in a way that protects people and respects rights.

Our zero-tolerance policy means that any form of slavery, trafficking, debt bondage, servitude, or exploitative labour is unacceptable. If a concern is identified, we will investigate promptly and take decisive action, which may include ending a business relationship, reporting to the relevant authorities, or supporting remediation where appropriate. No commercial objective overrides this principle.

We communicate this position internally so that all staff understand their responsibilities. Training and awareness measures help teams recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withholding of wages, deception, or unsafe working conditions. Modern slavery prevention is not treated as a one-off task, but as a standard part of responsible management.

Our recruitment and onboarding practices also support compliance. We verify the right to work where required, avoid any arrangement that could create dependency or coercion, and ensure that employment terms are clear and fair. By maintaining consistent procedures, the Man And A Van Roehampton team reduces the risk of exploitation within direct operations.

Supplier relationships are a vital part of our business, and we apply structured supplier audits to reduce risk across the chain. We assess suppliers according to their location, service type, labour practices, and control environment. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to more detailed reviews, including requests for policy documentation, workforce information, and evidence of ethical labour management.

These audits are intended to verify not only compliance on paper, but also the practical implementation of safeguards. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable standards, we will work with them to improve performance where possible. However, Man and Van Roehampton will not continue relationships where credible concerns remain unresolved.

We also look for signs that subcontracting or third-party labour may introduce hidden risk. Where necessary, we expect suppliers to maintain visibility over their own supply chains and to notify us of material changes. Through these measures, Man And A Van Roehampton seeks to create a resilient and accountable procurement process.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

Any individual who suspects modern slavery, exploitation, or unethical conduct is encouraged to report it without delay through established internal reporting channels. Reports may be made confidentially and, where permitted, anonymously. All concerns are treated seriously, and no person will suffer retaliation for raising an issue in good faith.

Investigation and Response

Once a concern is raised, it is reviewed by the appropriate responsible manager or designated safeguarding lead. We aim to assess the facts quickly, preserve confidentiality, and determine the level of risk. Where necessary, we will escalate matters to external specialists or authorities and take immediate protective action. Our focus is always on the safety and dignity of those potentially affected.

We encourage a culture in which speaking up is supported. By keeping reporting routes clear and accessible, Man And A Van Roehampton ensures that potential abuse can be identified earlier and addressed more effectively. Transparency and accountability are central to this process.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with current risks, legislation, and good practice. Each annual review considers any incidents, audit outcomes, supplier developments, and changes to our operating environment. Where improvements are identified, we update procedures and strengthen controls accordingly.

The annual review also helps us measure progress over time and reinforce leadership accountability. As Man and Van Roehampton continues to grow, we remain committed to strengthening our defences against exploitation and maintaining a supply chain built on fairness, respect, and lawful conduct. Our objective is simple: to ensure that Man And A Van Roehampton plays its part in eliminating modern slavery wherever it may occur.
