Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Holloway
Man With Van Holloway is committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, servitude, debt bondage, and exploitation, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any such abuse.
Our commitment applies across all areas of the business, from hiring practices to the selection of service providers. We expect every team member and partner to uphold fair treatment, lawful conduct, and respect for human rights. For Man With Van Holloway, safeguarding people is not optional; it is part of how we operate every day.
To reduce risk, Man With Van Holloway performs due diligence on suppliers and contractors before engagement and throughout the relationship. This includes reviewing business credentials, assessing labour practices, and checking whether a supplier operates in a manner consistent with our standards. Where appropriate, we request written confirmation that the supplier does not use forced, trafficked, or child labour.
We also monitor the supply chain for indicators of abuse, such as unusual payment arrangements, lack of worker documentation, restricted movement, or signs that workers are being controlled by third parties. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and may suspend or end the relationship if the issue is not resolved. These controls help reinforce the integrity of the Man With Van Holloway modern slavery policy.
Training and awareness are key parts of our approach. Managers and relevant staff are informed about the warning signs of exploitation and the importance of acting quickly when issues are identified. We want employees and business partners to understand that ethical performance includes protecting vulnerable people, not simply meeting operational targets.
We encourage open reporting and make it clear that anyone can raise concerns in good faith. Reports may be made through internal management routes, and every concern is treated seriously, confidentially where possible, and without retaliation. This reporting channel is intended to help identify risks early and support effective action.
If a potential breach is reported, we assess the facts, preserve relevant evidence, and take proportionate corrective measures. Where a supplier or contractor is found to be non-compliant, we require immediate remediation and, if necessary, discontinue the relationship. The same expectation applies to the wider network supporting Man With Van Holloway services.
Our statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. During this review, we consider changes in our operations, supplier base, and risk profile, as well as any incidents or lessons learned during the year. The annual review also helps us strengthen controls and improve accountability.
By maintaining clear standards, carrying out supplier audits, and supporting secure reporting processes, Man With Van Holloway aims to prevent modern slavery in all its forms. We remain committed to continuous improvement and to working only with partners who share our values of dignity, fairness, and lawful conduct.
