Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Harringay

At Man And Van Harringay, we recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative working practices are serious violations of basic human rights. We are committed to operating with integrity and ensuring that Man and Van Harringay services are delivered in a way that respects the dignity and freedom of every individual involved in our business. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy, our approach to supplier oversight, and the actions we take to identify and reduce risks.

We expect all employees, contractors, partners, and suppliers connected with Harringay man and van operations to uphold the highest ethical standards. Our commitment applies across every stage of service delivery, from recruitment and onboarding to fleet support, storage, loading, and subcontracted work. We do not accept any form of coercion, deception, debt bondage, or abuse of vulnerability, and we actively work to prevent these risks from entering our operations.

Our zero-tolerance policy is central to this statement. Any evidence or credible suspicion of modern slavery will be treated as a serious matter and investigated promptly. Where necessary, we will take decisive action, including terminating relationships with suppliers or individuals who fail to meet our standards. We require everyone associated with Man And Van Harringay to comply with applicable labour laws and ethical employment practices.

Supplier management is a key part of our prevention framework. We conduct risk-based supplier audits to assess labour practices, worker welfare, documentation, and subcontracting arrangements. These reviews help us identify warning signs such as unusual recruitment fees, excessive working hours, withheld identification papers, or unclear employment status. When concerns arise, we request corrective action and monitor progress closely.

Our procurement and operations teams are instructed to assess suppliers before engagement and during the relationship, particularly where services involve higher-risk labour sectors. We prefer suppliers who can demonstrate transparent hiring practices, fair pay, and safe working conditions. In addition, we encourage clear record-keeping so that the standards expected by Man and Van Harringay can be verified consistently.

We also maintain internal awareness measures to help staff recognise the signs of exploitation. Employees are encouraged to stay alert to indicators such as restricted movement, fearfulness, inability to speak freely, or signs that a worker is being controlled by another party. Training and communication reinforce the importance of reporting concerns early and responsibly.

Reporting channels are available for anyone who suspects wrongdoing connected to Harringay man and van services. Concerns may be raised through management, designated safeguarding routes, or other internal reporting channels established for this purpose. Reports are handled sensitively, and no individual will face retaliation for speaking up in good faith. We treat disclosures seriously and aim to act quickly to protect any person who may be at risk.

Our commitment to ethical conduct extends beyond compliance. We expect suppliers to cooperate fully with investigations, provide accurate information when requested, and support remediation where issues are identified. If a supplier cannot demonstrate satisfactory improvement, we will reconsider the relationship to protect people and uphold our standards. This approach reflects our belief that business success must never come at the expense of human rights.

Risk assessment is reviewed regularly to reflect changes in our workforce, subcontracting needs, and operating environment. By taking a practical and proportionate approach, Man And Van Harringay aims to prevent abuse before it occurs and respond effectively if concerns emerge. We remain committed to maintaining clean, fair, and accountable service delivery.

This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal obligations and best practice. Each review will consider incident reports, supplier audit findings, training needs, and any changes in risk profile. Updates will be made where necessary to strengthen protections and improve accountability across the business.

Through this ongoing process, Man And Van Harringay reaffirms its determination to oppose all forms of modern slavery and to operate in a way that protects human dignity. We will continue to monitor our activities, challenge poor practice, and promote ethical standards throughout our organisation and supply chain.
