Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Stratford

Man With A Van Stratford is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative practices within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, and subcontracted services, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of abuse, coercion, or unlawful labour.

Our commitment is based on transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. We expect all staff, contractors, and business partners to act with integrity and to uphold the same standards. Modern slavery has no place in our business, and every decision we make is intended to reduce the risk of exploitation. As part of our approach, Stratford van services are monitored to ensure that employment practices remain lawful, fair, and respectful.

We also take care to ensure that our recruitment processes are ethical. Workers are assessed fairly, documents are verified lawfully, and no one is charged fees that could create dependency or vulnerability. By reinforcing clear policies and responsible oversight, Man With A Van Stratford seeks to protect people at every stage of its operations.

We apply strict due diligence to our supply chain and expect suppliers to demonstrate compliance with labour law and human rights requirements. Supplier audits are carried out periodically and, where necessary, on an unannounced basis to review working conditions, wage practices, identity documentation, and subcontracting arrangements. These audits help us identify risks early and address concerns before they escalate.

When selecting suppliers, we consider their commitment to ethical employment, proper record-keeping, and safe working environments. Any supplier found to be non-compliant may be required to implement corrective actions, undergo follow-up inspection, or have the relationship suspended. This measured but firm approach reflects the standards expected by Man With A Van Stratford across all service partnerships.

We also provide internal training so that our team can recognise warning signs of exploitation, including restricted movement, withheld wages, document retention, and intimidation. Raising awareness supports a stronger culture of vigilance and ensures that the business remains prepared to respond quickly and appropriately.

To support accountability, we maintain clear reporting channels for employees, contractors, and suppliers who wish to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical conduct. Reports can be made confidentially and will be handled sensitively, promptly, and without retaliation. This allows concerns to be escalated safely and ensures that potential risks are examined with care.

Any report is reviewed by the appropriate management representative, and where needed, we will investigate further, involve external specialists, or take corrective action. If a serious breach is identified, we will act immediately to protect affected individuals and to prevent further harm. The principles followed by Stratford removal and transport services are designed to support openness and accountability at all levels.

We understand that meaningful prevention depends on regular review. Therefore, this statement and our related procedures are reviewed annually to evaluate their effectiveness, assess emerging risks, and identify improvements. Updates may be made to strengthen controls, improve training, and enhance supplier oversight.

The annual review is informed by internal findings, supplier performance, and any concerns raised through reporting channels. This process enables Man With A Van Stratford to remain responsive to changing risks and to demonstrate ongoing commitment to ethical business conduct. Our aim is not only compliance, but genuine protection for workers across our operations and wider supply chain.

We will continue to uphold a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, maintain robust supplier audits, encourage safe reporting, and review our policies every year. Through these actions, Man With A Van Stratford reaffirms its responsibility to operate with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights.
