Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Bellingham

Man With Van Bellingham is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and exploitation, is a serious abuse that can occur in any sector. This statement sets out the actions taken by Man With Van Bellingham to prevent such practices within our operations and supply chains.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all forms of modern slavery and labour exploitation. We do not accept any arrangement that involves coercion, withholding of documents, intimidation, unlawful wage practices, or unsafe working conditions. Every worker engaged in support of Man With Van Bellingham must be treated with dignity, and we expect the same standard from all partners, subcontractors, and suppliers.

We carry out due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. As part of this process, we consider labour standards, ethical conduct, and the ability of each supplier to demonstrate responsible employment practices. Where appropriate, supplier audits may be undertaken to assess compliance, identify risks, and confirm that no aspect of the service chain is linked to exploitation.

Our approach also includes ongoing monitoring of risk indicators, such as unexplained staff turnover, inconsistent pay arrangements, restricted freedom of movement, or reluctance to share employment records. If concerns arise, they are escalated promptly for investigation. Man With Van Bellingham expects managers and contractors to remain alert to warning signs and to act without delay when issues are identified.

We provide clear reporting channels so that workers, suppliers, and any relevant stakeholders can raise concerns in good faith. Reports may be made confidentially, and all disclosures are treated seriously and investigated appropriately. Retaliation against anyone who reports a concern is strictly prohibited. We believe that transparency is essential to preventing abuse and maintaining ethical standards across our operations.

Training and awareness are important parts of our control framework. Staff involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management are informed about the risks of modern slavery and the responsibilities they hold in identifying and addressing those risks. By strengthening understanding across the business, Man With Van Bellingham improves its ability to recognise poor practice before it can cause harm.

When non-compliance is identified, we take proportionate action, which may include corrective measures, suspension of the relationship, or termination of a contract where necessary. Man With Van Bellingham will not continue working with any supplier that fails to meet our ethical expectations or that cannot demonstrate a credible commitment to remedying breaches.

We also require relevant suppliers to confirm that they operate in line with applicable labour laws and international human rights principles. This includes maintaining accurate records, permitting reasonable audits, and cooperating fully with any request for evidence. We view these requirements as a practical safeguard against hidden exploitation and as a key part of responsible business conduct.

Our statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains effective, current, and aligned with evolving legal and ethical expectations. The review considers findings from audits, incident reports, supplier assessments, and any changes in the risk profile of the business. Where improvements are needed, we update our procedures and strengthen oversight accordingly.
