Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Brockley

Man And Van Brockley is committed to conducting business in an ethical, lawful, and responsible manner. This modern slavery statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that these abuses can occur in many forms, and we take active steps to prevent, detect, and address any risk connected with our services.

As a local moving and transport provider, Man and Van Brockley understands the importance of safeguarding workers and respecting human rights. Our commitments apply to all staff, subcontractors, and suppliers, regardless of role or location. We expect every person working with Man And Van Brockley to uphold the same standards of integrity and care that guide our business.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery. No worker should be subject to coercion, withheld wages, debt bondage, restricted movement, intimidation, or exploitation. If any concern is identified, we act immediately to investigate, suspend where necessary, and take corrective action. This policy is embedded in our internal procedures and forms part of our wider ethical framework.

To support compliance, Man And Van Brockley applies due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. We expect suppliers to share our values, demonstrate lawful employment practices, and provide evidence of fair working conditions. Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits, request documentation, and assess the risk profile of subcontracted services. These checks help us identify concerns early and maintain responsible partnerships.

Our audit process focuses on labour practices, right-to-work controls, wage practices, and working hours. When gaps or risks are found, we require prompt remediation and may end the relationship if satisfactory improvements are not made. This approach ensures that Man and Van Brockley works only with organisations that respect workers’ dignity and comply with applicable standards. We also keep records of reviews to support transparency and accountability.

We encourage open communication and provide clear reporting channels for anyone who suspects abuse, unsafe practices, or non-compliance. Reports may be raised internally through management structures or through designated grievance pathways. Concerns are handled sensitively, with confidentiality protected wherever possible. No one should fear retaliation for speaking up, and all reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and documented.

Training also plays an important role in preventing exploitation. Relevant team members are informed about the signs of modern slavery, risk factors in the transport and removals sector, and their responsibilities to escalate concerns. Man And Van Brockley aims to ensure that awareness is not limited to leadership but is shared across the business so that risks can be recognised early and addressed effectively.

Our commitment is reinforced through regular policy monitoring and governance reviews. We assess whether our controls remain suitable for the size and nature of the business, especially when working with new suppliers, seasonal labour, or external contractors. This statement reflects our ongoing duty to improve, not simply to comply on paper.

This modern slavery statement for Man And Van Brockley is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal obligations and operational changes. Updates may follow changes in risk, supplier relationships, or internal processes. The annual review allows us to strengthen controls, refine audit methods, and enhance reporting mechanisms where needed.

In summary, Man And Van Brockley is dedicated to preventing modern slavery in every part of its work. Through a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and an annual review cycle, we continue to protect workers and uphold responsible business practices. Our commitment is clear: ethical conduct, respect for human rights, and vigilance against exploitation at all times.
