Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Earlscourt

Man With Van Earlscourt is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any activity that undermines dignity, freedom, or lawful employment.

As a responsible removal and transport service, Man with Van Earlscourt understands that our responsibilities extend beyond day-to-day service delivery. We expect our employees, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the same ethical standards we apply internally. Our approach is based on vigilance, accountability, and continuous improvement, with clear controls designed to identify and address risk at the earliest possible stage.

We apply robust recruitment and employment practices to ensure that everyone working with or for us does so voluntarily and with proper legal documentation. Workers must never pay for the opportunity to work, surrender identity documents, or be subjected to coercion, debt bondage, or unfair restrictions. Any concern raised about working conditions is treated seriously and investigated promptly.

Our supplier audits are a key part of our compliance framework. We assess current and prospective suppliers based on their labour practices, sourcing standards, and adherence to applicable laws. Where appropriate, we request evidence of policies, contracts, worker protections, and verification processes. Suppliers identified as higher risk may be subject to deeper review, site checks, or corrective action requirements.

The Man With Van Earlscourt modern slavery statement also reflects our commitment to training and awareness. Staff involved in procurement, hiring, and vendor management receive guidance on recognising warning signs such as unusual payment arrangements, lack of worker freedom, or inconsistent records. This helps ensure that concerns are recognised quickly and escalated appropriately.

We also maintain strong contractual expectations with partners and subcontractors. Agreements may include commitments relating to lawful wages, safe working conditions, and the right to terminate relationships where serious breaches are discovered. By embedding these requirements into our commercial relationships, Man with Van Earlscourt reinforces responsible conduct throughout its supply chain.

Clear reporting channels are essential to preventing abuse. Employees and suppliers can raise concerns through internal management routes, and all reports are handled with discretion and seriousness. We do not permit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Allegations are reviewed, recorded, and escalated as needed so that corrective measures can be taken without delay.

In cases where modern slavery indicators are suspected, we may suspend work with a supplier while an investigation is underway. If necessary, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and support remedial action. Our aim is not only to react to issues, but to prevent them through careful oversight and responsible decision-making across the business.

We review our procurement, staffing, and oversight controls regularly to keep them effective and proportionate. Risk assessments consider geography, service type, labour intensity, and the nature of each supplier relationship. This approach allows Man With Van Earlscourt to focus resources where vulnerability is greatest and to strengthen safeguards over time.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm its relevance, evaluate progress, and identify opportunities for improvement. The review includes any reported concerns, supplier audit outcomes, and changes in legislation or business operations. Findings are used to update procedures, improve training, and reinforce our zero-tolerance policy across all areas of activity.

As part of each annual review, we assess whether our safeguards continue to reflect the realities of our supply chain. Where weaknesses are identified, we act to close gaps and strengthen controls. This may include revising supplier questionnaires, expanding audit coverage, or improving internal awareness measures.

Man With Van Earlscourt remains steadfast in its commitment to ethical business practice. We will continue working to ensure that our services are delivered in a lawful, responsible, and respectful manner, with modern slavery prevention embedded in our culture, our supplier relationships, and our ongoing review process.
