Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Nineelms

Man With Van Nineelms is committed to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out the principles that guide our approach and reflects our zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that violates human rights or treats people unfairly. We believe that every person involved in delivering our services must be protected with dignity, respect, and lawful working conditions.

Our approach applies to all areas of the business, including recruitment, subcontracting, logistics support, vehicle maintenance, and procurement. We expect the same standards from every supplier, partner, and contractor associated with Man With Van Nineelms. Any indication of coercion, deception, debt bondage, withheld wages, document retention, or unsafe working conditions is treated as a serious breach. We also take steps to ensure that our practices do not indirectly support vulnerable labour arrangements.

To reduce risk, we maintain clear internal controls and review employment practices regularly. All staff involved in onboarding, purchasing, and supplier management receive guidance on identifying warning signs of exploitation. The company keeps records of due diligence checks, contract terms, and compliance actions so that concerns can be investigated promptly. By building awareness and accountability into our processes, Man With Van Nineelms aims to prevent modern slavery from entering any part of our business.

Supplier oversight is a critical part of our framework. We carry out supplier audits proportionate to the level of risk involved, with greater scrutiny applied to third parties operating in higher-risk sectors or locations. These audits may include checks on labour practices, wage handling, identity documentation, subcontracting arrangements, and health and safety conditions. Where gaps are identified, we require corrective action within a defined timeframe, and repeated non-compliance may lead to suspension or termination of the relationship.

We also require suppliers to confirm that they share our anti-slavery commitment and uphold lawful employment standards. Contracts are expected to include obligations covering fair recruitment, responsible use of labour providers, and transparency in workforce arrangements. In this way, our supplier management process supports the wider commitment of Man With Van Nineelms to ethical and lawful service delivery.

Reporting concerns is essential to effective safeguarding. All workers, subcontractors, and stakeholders are encouraged to raise concerns about suspected exploitation, unsafe conditions, or unethical practices through the company’s internal reporting channels. Reports are handled confidentially and without retaliation, and concerns are reviewed by appropriate management in line with our investigation procedures. This encourages an open culture where problems can be addressed early and responsibly.

Where a concern is substantiated, we take immediate and proportionate action. This may include pausing work, reviewing records, escalating the issue to senior management, or notifying relevant authorities where required. We will not continue relationships that expose people to abuse or unlawful labour practices. The purpose of this response is not only compliance, but the active protection of workers across our business and supply chain.

Training and awareness are maintained across the organisation so that staff understand how modern slavery can appear in transport, moving, and subcontracted services. Man With Van Nineelms promotes a culture in which ethical decisions are expected at every level. Managers are responsible for reinforcing standards, monitoring risk indicators, and ensuring that any concerns are documented and resolved appropriately.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal obligations and operational changes. Each annual review considers risk exposure, audit outcomes, reported concerns, and improvements needed in policy or practice. Through regular assessment and continuous improvement, Man With Van Nineelms reinforces its commitment to preventing modern slavery and maintaining responsible, human-centred business conduct.
