Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Selsdon
Man With Van Selsdon is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and controls we apply to help prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that zero tolerance is essential, and we expect the same standard from everyone who works with or for our company.
Our policy applies across all parts of the business, including recruitment, subcontracting, vehicle support, packing materials, and any external services used to support Man With Van Selsdon. We prohibit all forms of exploitation and require managers to remain alert to signs of abuse, such as coercion, debt bondage, retention of identity documents, or excessive working hours. These standards are embedded in our procedures so that our approach is not only stated, but actively enforced.
Zero-Tolerance Policy
We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in every form. No worker may be forced to work, threatened, deceived, or controlled through intimidation or unsafe dependency. Any breach of this policy may lead to termination of a contract, suspension of a supplier relationship, or other appropriate action. This principle is central to our values as a responsible Man With Van Selsdon service provider and informs how we select and monitor partners.
Supply Chain Due Diligence
We recognise that risk can exist in supply chains, particularly where labour is outsourced or services are time-sensitive. Accordingly, supplier audits are carried out as part of our due diligence process. These audits may include checks on recruitment practices, working conditions, pay arrangements, subcontractor controls, and the right to work. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action plans and may re-audit suppliers to confirm compliance.To strengthen oversight, Man With Van Selsdon reviews supplier onboarding information and seeks assurance that suppliers have their own anti-slavery controls in place. We expect suppliers to share our commitment and to notify us promptly if they become aware of any issue that could suggest exploitation in their operations or their wider supply chain. Failure to cooperate with investigations or to address identified risks will be treated seriously.
Reporting Channels
We encourage anyone associated with our business to raise concerns without delay if they suspect modern slavery or unsafe labour practices. Reports can be made through internal management routes and will be handled confidentially where possible. We aim to create a culture where concerns are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and escalated appropriately. Retaliation is not tolerated, and anyone reporting in good faith will be protected from disadvantage.Our reporting arrangements are designed to support openness and accountability. Managers are instructed to act immediately on any warning signs, document concerns carefully, and ensure that vulnerable individuals are safeguarded. Where necessary, matters may be referred to relevant authorities or specialist support bodies. This helps Man With Van Selsdon respond responsibly and maintain ethical standards throughout its operations.
Training, Monitoring, and Continuous Improvement
We provide appropriate training to those responsible for procurement, supervision, and contract management so they can recognise indicators of forced labour and respond effectively. Internal monitoring helps us review whether our controls remain suitable for the size and nature of the business. We keep records of supplier checks, audit outcomes, concerns raised, and actions taken, enabling us to track progress and identify areas for improvement.
Annual Review This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal expectations and business activity. The review considers any changes in risk, supplier performance, incident reports, and improvements needed in policy or practice. When necessary, we update procedures to strengthen safeguards and reinforce our zero-tolerance position.
In summary, Man With Van Selsdon is dedicated to preventing modern slavery through clear policies, supplier audits, reliable reporting channels, and an annual review process. We believe ethical conduct is fundamental to long-term trust and responsible trading. By maintaining vigilance and acting decisively on concerns, Man With Van Selsdon aims to protect workers, uphold dignity, and support a supply chain free from exploitation.
