Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Kensington

Man With Van Kensington is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of exploitation and expect the same from everyone who works with or for our business.

Our company recognises that the risk of modern slavery can exist in any sector, including transport, removals, storage, and subcontracted services. To address this risk, Man With Van Kensington applies due diligence when selecting suppliers, contractors, and temporary workers. We require all relevant partners to uphold legal and ethical standards, and we reserve the right to end relationships where concerns are identified. This commitment reflects our belief that safe and fair working practices are essential to the integrity of the Kensington man with van service.

Our internal policies are designed to promote transparency and accountability. Staff are trained to recognise signs of exploitation, including restriction of movement, withholding of pay, threats, and misleading recruitment practices. Any concern raised by an employee, supplier, or member of the public is treated seriously and investigated promptly. We believe awareness is a critical safeguard in preventing abuse across the Man With Van Kensington network.

Supplier management plays a central role in our anti-slavery approach. We carry out proportionate supplier audits to assess labour standards, compliance with employment law, subcontracting practices, and worker welfare. These audits may include document checks, interviews, and confirmation that workers are recruited freely and paid fairly. Where weaknesses are discovered, we seek immediate corrective action and monitor progress closely. If improvement is not achieved, we will suspend or terminate the arrangement. This process helps ensure that the van hire Kensington supply chain remains aligned with our ethical expectations.

We also maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees and contractors are encouraged to report suspected misconduct through our internal escalation process, which allows issues to be reviewed discreetly and handled with confidentiality. Reports may relate to working hours, pay, coercion, recruitment fees, identity document retention, or unsafe conditions. We emphasise that raising a concern in good faith will never result in punishment. The availability of these channels supports a culture of openness across the Kensington removal service environment.

In addition to reactive measures, we focus on prevention through recruitment controls and ongoing management oversight. Identity and right-to-work checks are completed in line with applicable law, and managers are expected to remain vigilant for signs that workers may not be acting voluntarily. We do not tolerate the use of forced labour, child labour, debt bondage, or any practice that undermines dignity. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every level of the business, from direct staff to third-party providers associated with the Man With Van Kensington name.

This statement is reviewed by senior management to ensure that our approach remains effective and proportionate. We recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time as our operations grow or supplier relationships evolve. For that reason, we conduct an annual review of policies, risk indicators, training, and audit outcomes. The review informs any necessary updates to controls, procedures, or supplier expectations. In this way, the Man With Van Kensington modern slavery statement remains current, practical, and focused on continuous improvement.

We are committed to working responsibly and encouraging ethical standards throughout our business relationships. Everyone connected with our operations is expected to support this commitment and help protect vulnerable people from exploitation. By combining prevention, monitoring, reporting, and review, Man With Van Kensington seeks to uphold human rights and promote fair treatment in every aspect of our work.

Our ongoing aim is to strengthen safeguards, build trust, and ensure that the services delivered under the Man With Van Kensington name are carried out with integrity, respect, and accountability. We will continue to refine our controls and reinforce our expectations so that modern slavery has no place in our operations or supply chain.
