Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Lissongrove

Man With A Van Lissongrove is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that exploits individuals or denies them their basic rights.

As a responsible moving and transport service, Man With A Van Lissongrove understands that ethical conduct must be embedded in every part of the business. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same values. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to identifying risks, acting on concerns, and strengthening our controls so that our services are delivered in a lawful and humane manner.

Our approach begins with due diligence. We assess the nature of our operations and the risks presented by suppliers, subcontractors, and other third parties. Where appropriate, we require assurances that labour is freely chosen, wages are lawful, and working conditions are safe. The Man With A Van Lissongrove team is instructed to remain alert to warning signs, including unusual recruitment practices, restricted movement, withholding of identity documents, or signs that workers may not be acting voluntarily.

Policies and Responsibilities

All staff have a responsibility to support our anti-slavery commitments. Managers are expected to lead by example, ensuring that procurement decisions, hiring practices, and operational arrangements do not create or tolerate exploitation. Our internal policies require fair treatment, lawful employment terms, and respect for workers’ rights. The Man With A Van Lissongrove modern slavery statement is reviewed as part of our wider governance framework to ensure it remains practical and effective.

Supplier expectations are central to our controls. We communicate our standards clearly and expect suppliers to comply with all applicable labour laws and ethical requirements. If a supplier cannot demonstrate satisfactory practices, we may request corrective action, increase monitoring, or end the relationship where necessary. This process helps ensure that the Man With A Van Lissongrove supply chain remains aligned with our zero-tolerance position.

Supplier audits are an important part of our risk management approach. Depending on the risk level, we may conduct documented reviews, request evidence of recruitment and employment practices, and evaluate subcontracting arrangements. These audits help us identify weaknesses early and maintain visibility over the working conditions connected with our services. Where issues are identified, we seek immediate remediation and record the outcome for follow-up.

Reporting and Concern Management

We encourage anyone connected with our business to raise concerns if they suspect exploitation, unethical labour practices, or behaviour that may indicate modern slavery. Reporting channels are available through internal management routes and designated supervisory processes, allowing concerns to be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion.

Where a concern is substantiated, we will take appropriate action, which may include suspending a supplier relationship, reviewing contractual terms, or supporting corrective measures. Our priority is to protect vulnerable individuals and prevent further harm. The Man With A Van Lissongrove team is trained to respond proportionately and to escalate concerns where specialist review is needed.

We also recognise the importance of awareness within our organisation. Staff are informed about the meaning of modern slavery, how risks may arise, and what signs may indicate exploitation. By strengthening awareness, Man With A Van Lissongrove improves its ability to identify risks early and take decisive action. This helps sustain a culture in which ethical conduct is expected and protected.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is subject to an annual review to ensure it continues to reflect our operations, risk profile, and legal obligations. Each review considers the effectiveness of our controls, feedback from audits, any reports received, and changes in the business environment. The purpose of this process is not only compliance, but continuous improvement in how the Man With A Van Lissongrove modern slavery policy is understood and applied.

We remain committed to strengthening our safeguards over time. If risks evolve, we will adapt our procedures, reinforce supplier oversight, and refresh staff awareness activities. Our zero-tolerance policy remains the foundation of this commitment, guiding every decision we make and reinforcing the expectation that all work associated with Man With A Van Lissongrove must be free from exploitation.
