Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Earlsfield

Man With Van Earlsfield is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, and we take a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines dignity, freedom, or lawful employment.

Our commitment applies across all areas of the business, including recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and day-to-day operations. We expect every person working with or on behalf of Man With Van Earlsfield to act responsibly and to uphold our ethical standards. Compliance with labour laws and human rights principles is a core business requirement, not an optional extra.

We also recognise that the risk of modern slavery may exist beyond our direct control, particularly in wider supply chains. For that reason, we monitor suppliers and business partners carefully and require them to meet the same standards we set for ourselves. Any supplier associated with abusive labour practices, deceptive recruitment, or unsafe working conditions may be suspended or removed from our approved supplier base.

Our Approach to Prevention

To reduce risk, Man With Van Earlsfield applies due diligence checks when selecting suppliers and service providers. These checks may include reviewing company policies, assessing labour practices, and evaluating whether workers are engaged voluntarily and paid fairly. Where appropriate, we request evidence of lawful employment practices and seek confirmation that workers are free from coercion, intimidation, or debt bondage.

Supplier audits are an important part of our approach. Audits may be scheduled or unannounced depending on the level of risk, the nature of the service, and the location of the supplier. When issues are identified, we expect prompt corrective action. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we reserve the right to end the relationship. This applies equally to direct suppliers and to third parties acting in support of our services.

We aim to build long-term relationships only with organisations that share our values. In practice, this means encouraging open communication, requiring ethical conduct, and reviewing risk indicators regularly. Modern slavery prevention is not a one-time task; it is an ongoing responsibility that must be integrated into commercial decisions, procurement choices, and operational oversight.

Reporting, Accountability, and Review

Any concern about exploitation, unsafe labour practices, or suspected trafficking is taken seriously. We encourage workers, suppliers, and other relevant parties to raise concerns as soon as possible through internal reporting channels. Reports are handled confidentially and assessed promptly by responsible managers. Where needed, matters may be escalated for further investigation and corrective action. No one should fear retaliation for making a report in good faith.

Our reporting channels are designed to support early intervention. Concerns may relate to recruitment fees, passport retention, excessive working hours, restricted movement, or other warning signs of forced labour. We expect everyone connected with Man With Van Earlsfield to cooperate fully with investigations and to provide accurate information when concerns arise. Retaliation, concealment, or deliberate obstruction will not be tolerated.

This statement reflects our current commitment to preventing modern slavery and protecting vulnerable workers. It will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, proportionate, and aligned with legal and ethical expectations. The annual review will consider changes in risk, supplier performance, audit outcomes, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Improvements will be made where necessary to strengthen our controls and safeguard human rights.

Man With Van Earlsfield believes that responsible business is built on respect, fairness, and accountability. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, supporting clear reporting channels, and conducting an annual review, we reinforce our commitment to preventing modern slavery in every part of our operations and supply chain.
