Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement for Man with Van Shooters Hill

Man with Van Shooters Hill is committed to conducting its business ethically, responsibly, and in full respect of human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. It applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers who support our removal and transport services.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a strict zero-tolerance stance towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and exploitation. We do not tolerate abusive or coercive labour practices in any part of our business or supply chain. Compliance with this policy is a condition of working with Man with Van Shooters Hill, and any breach may result in termination of employment or commercial relationships.

All individuals working on our behalf are expected to act with integrity and to uphold the rights and dignity of every person they encounter in the course of our activities. Managers at all levels are responsible for promoting awareness of this policy and ensuring that the risk of exploitation is taken seriously and addressed promptly.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Man with Van Shooters Hill provides man and van, removals, and related transport services. Our operations are primarily local and regional, and our supply chain typically includes vehicle hire and maintenance providers, fuel suppliers, equipment and packaging providers, and occasional agency or subcontracted labour for busy periods.

While the nature and scale of our business means that we assess our overall risk as relatively low, we recognise that no organisation is immune to the risk of modern slavery. We therefore act proactively to understand and manage these risks across our activities and supply chain partners.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and subcontractors to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery and to comply with all relevant labour, employment, and human rights legislation in the jurisdictions where they operate. When selecting new suppliers, we consider their approach to ethical conduct and labour standards as part of our decision-making process.

We reserve the right to request information and assurances about suppliers practices, including evidence of policies, procedures, and training related to modern slavery and human trafficking. Where appropriate, we may conduct audits or request independent verification to confirm compliance. If we identify concerns, we will work with the supplier to remedy the situation or, where necessary, review and potentially terminate the relationship.

Awareness, Training, and Responsibilities

We are committed to raising awareness among our staff about the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. Where relevant to their roles, employees may receive guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation, such as signs of coercion, restriction of movement, or inappropriate control over identity documents or wages.

Responsibility for implementing this Statement sits with the senior management of Man with Van Shooters Hill, who ensure that appropriate controls, due diligence, and monitoring are in place. However, every worker has a duty to act ethically, report concerns, and support a culture of respect and vigilance.

Reporting Concerns and Protected Reporting Channels

We encourage anyone who works for us, with us, or interacts with our services to speak up if they suspect that modern slavery or human trafficking may be occurring in our operations or supply chain. Concerns can be raised with a line manager, a senior member of the team, or through any existing internal reporting routes that are made available to workers.

Reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated where appropriate. We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith, even if it is not substantiated after investigation. Where needed, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and agencies to address any suspected instances of exploitation.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility that requires continual vigilance and improvement. Man with Van Shooters Hill is committed to reviewing this Modern Slavery Statement and our associated practices on an annual basis, or sooner if there are significant changes in our operations, supply chains, or legal requirements.

As part of this annual review, we will consider feedback from staff, suppliers, and stakeholders, assess any identified risks or incidents, and update our procedures where necessary. Our goal is to strengthen our ability to prevent, detect, and address modern slavery and human trafficking, and to ensure that our business contributes positively to the communities in which we operate.

This Statement reflects the position of Man with Van Shooters Hill at the time of publication and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to ethical conduct and the protection of human rights.
