Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Tufnell Park

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the principles and actions followed by Man And Van Tufnell Park to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in any part of our business. We recognise that modern slavery is a serious violation of human rights and may occur in many sectors, including transport, logistics, and supply services. Our commitment is clear: we operate a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery and expect the same standard from every supplier, contractor, and business partner.

As a responsible moving and transport service, we aim to ensure that our operations remain ethical, lawful, and transparent. This statement reflects our ongoing efforts to identify, assess, and address modern slavery risks within our workforce and supply chain. We believe that respect for human dignity is essential to sustainable business, and this belief guides our internal controls, procurement decisions, and staff awareness measures.

Our approach begins with due diligence. Before engaging new suppliers, Man and Van Tufnell Park reviews relevant business practices, ownership structures, workforce arrangements, and compliance history where appropriate. We expect suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced labour, child labour, or exploitative recruitment methods. Where risks are identified, we may require corrective action, additional evidence, or termination of the relationship if the concerns cannot be resolved.

To strengthen oversight, we conduct supplier audits on a risk-based basis. These audits may include document checks, contractual reviews, and assessment of labour practices in the supply chain. Higher-risk suppliers are reviewed more frequently, while lower-risk relationships are monitored through routine compliance checks. If an audit reveals a potential breach, it is investigated promptly and handled according to our internal escalation procedures. We aim to encourage improvement where possible, but serious violations are not accepted under any circumstances.

Our internal standards apply to all staff, temporary workers, and managers. We provide clear expectations about fair recruitment, lawful pay practices, and respectful treatment in the workplace. Training and awareness efforts help ensure that employees can recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld documents, excessive control, or signs of coercion. The term Man And Van Tufnell Park modern slavery policy refers not only to compliance obligations, but also to our wider responsibility to act ethically and decisively.

We also maintain accessible reporting channels so that concerns about suspected slavery or exploitation can be raised without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes or designated compliance processes, and every concern is treated seriously and confidentially. Retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern is strictly prohibited. If a report suggests immediate risk, we respond without delay and take appropriate steps to protect affected individuals and support any required investigation.

Our modern slavery controls are reviewed across the business environment in which Man and Van Tufnell Park operates, including subcontracted arrangements and service partnerships. We expect anyone acting on our behalf to follow the same ethical standards and to demonstrate that their own workforce is treated fairly. Contract terms may include obligations relating to lawful employment, audit cooperation, and prompt notification of any suspected breach. In this way, we seek to reduce risk while promoting accountability throughout the supply chain.

We understand that preventing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time exercise. Therefore, this statement is supported by regular management oversight, risk assessments, and documented follow-up actions. Where improvements are identified, we implement them in a timely way and track progress to completion. The phrase Man And Van Tufnell Park anti-slavery commitment reflects our intention to continuously strengthen our protections and align our operations with recognised ethical standards.

This statement is subject to an annual review to ensure that it remains current, effective, and proportionate to our business activities and risk profile. During each review, we assess policy performance, supplier audit findings, incident reports, training needs, and any changes in legislation or industry practice. Updates are made where necessary to improve controls and reinforce accountability. Through this annual process, Man And Van Tufnell Park reaffirms its determination to prevent modern slavery and to uphold human rights in every part of its operations.
