Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Dulwich
Man With A Van Dulwich is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. We recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour are grave human rights violations that have no place in our operations or supply chain. This statement sets out the actions taken by Man With A Van Dulwich to prevent, detect, and address these risks across our services.
Our approach is founded on a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of slavery or exploitation. Every member of our organisation is expected to uphold ethical standards, act lawfully, and challenge behaviour that could indicate abuse. We require our employees, subcontractors, and business partners to share this commitment, and we will not knowingly engage with any party involved in exploitative practices.
We understand that the moving and transport sector can present higher-risk areas, particularly where labour is subcontracted or where extended supply chains are involved. For that reason, our focus is on prevention, monitoring, and early intervention. Man With A Van Dulwich maintains procedures designed to reduce the likelihood of hidden labour abuses and to ensure concerns are dealt with promptly and fairly.
Supply Chain Management and Supplier Audits
We expect all suppliers and service providers to operate responsibly and to comply with applicable labour, employment, and anti-trafficking laws. Before entering into new commercial relationships, Man With A Van Dulwich carries out risk-based due diligence to assess the nature of the work, the countries involved, and any indicators of elevated modern slavery risk.To strengthen oversight, we conduct supplier audits where appropriate. These audits may include document checks, worker-rights reviews, verification of subcontracting arrangements, and assessment of wage, hour, and recruitment practices. If concerns are identified, we require corrective action plans and may suspend or end the relationship if the issue cannot be resolved to our satisfaction.
Our procurement decisions also consider ethical performance. We aim to work with suppliers who demonstrate transparency, lawful employment practices, and a willingness to cooperate with monitoring. This helps ensure that Man With A Van Dulwich maintains a responsible and resilient supply base.
Reporting, Training, and Accountability
We encourage anyone connected with our business to report concerns about modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reporting channels are available internally through management, and concerns may be raised confidentially through our established whistleblowing processes. Any report is treated seriously, investigated promptly, and escalated where necessary.Employees and relevant contractors receive awareness training so they can recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, coercion, unexplained debt, or signs of intimidation. Training also reinforces how to respond if a potential issue is identified. In this way, Man With A Van Dulwich builds shared responsibility for protecting vulnerable individuals.
Where a case is substantiated, we will work with the relevant parties to secure remediation for affected individuals, improve controls, and prevent recurrence. Our response may include additional audits, enhanced monitoring, revised contracts, or termination of business arrangements if required.
Governance and Annual Review
Oversight of this statement and our anti-slavery measures is shared by management, who review compliance activity and risk exposure throughout the year. We document incidents, audit findings, and actions taken so that we can measure progress and strengthen accountability across Man With A Van Dulwich.To ensure this statement remains effective and relevant, it will be subject to an annual review.
