Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Brockley

Man And Van Brockley is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and any form of exploitation within our operations or supply chains. We recognise that a responsible Man and Van Brockley service depends on ethical decision-making at every level, from hiring and procurement to day-to-day service delivery.

We are committed to identifying, preventing, and addressing risks linked to modern slavery. Our approach applies to employees, contractors, temporary workers, and suppliers. As a local moving and transport business, we understand that the nature of our sector can involve multiple service providers, so we take proactive steps to ensure that everyone associated with Man And Van Brockley meets our standards of lawful and fair employment.

We expect all staff and business partners to uphold fair labour practices, including safe working conditions, lawful wages, and the freedom to work voluntarily. Any behaviour that suggests coercion, debt bondage, withheld identity documents, or restrictions on movement is treated as a serious concern. This statement is part of our wider commitment to ethical trade and responsible business conduct.

Our Policies and Controls

Our Man and Van Brockley modern slavery framework begins with prevention. We screen suppliers and service partners using risk-based checks and require them to confirm compliance with all applicable employment, immigration, and health and safety laws. Where appropriate, we request supporting documentation and review labour arrangements to ensure that workers are engaged voluntarily and are not subject to abuse or exploitation.

We also carry out supplier audits on a scheduled or risk-triggered basis. These audits may include reviewing right-to-work procedures, subcontracting practices, wage records, and working hour arrangements. If concerns are identified, we investigate promptly and require corrective action. Failure to improve may lead to suspension or termination of the commercial relationship. This process supports the integrity of our Man And Van Brockley operations and helps prevent hidden risks within extended supply chains.

Training is provided to relevant team members so they can recognise indicators of modern slavery and understand the correct escalation route. Awareness is especially important in service environments where workers may be vulnerable due to language barriers, financial pressure, or unfamiliarity with local regulations. By strengthening internal vigilance, Man and Van Brockley improves its ability to act early and responsibly.

Reporting, Oversight, and Review

We maintain clear and accessible reporting channels for concerns relating to modern slavery, unethical labour practices, or suspicious supplier behaviour. Reports may be made confidentially and will be handled sensitively, with protection against retaliation where possible and appropriate. Every report is reviewed by management, documented, and investigated in line with our internal procedures. This encourages openness and supports a safe culture across the business.

When concerns are raised, we seek to respond quickly and proportionately. Where a vulnerability is identified, we work to safeguard affected individuals and cooperate with relevant authorities or specialist organisations when necessary. Our aim is not only compliance, but also the prevention of harm. The Man and Van Brockley team treats ethical responsibility as an ongoing duty rather than a one-time task.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal expectations and operational realities. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, changes in supplier risk, and improvements to internal training or due diligence. Updates are made where needed to strengthen our controls and reflect the evolving nature of modern slavery risks.

Through this commitment, Man and Van Brockley reinforces a workplace culture based on respect, accountability, and lawful conduct. We believe that ethical sourcing and responsible operations are essential to sustainable service delivery. Our zero-tolerance stance, supplier oversight, reporting mechanisms, and annual review process together form a practical and transparent response to modern slavery risks.

We will continue to refine our practices so that our business relationships, internal standards, and operational decisions remain consistent with human rights principles. As Man And Van Brockley grows, we remain determined to uphold these commitments and ensure that exploitation has no place in our business or supply chain.
