Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Chiswick

Man And Van Chiswick is committed to conducting its business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and exploitation, is a serious global issue that can affect businesses of all sizes and across all sectors. As a responsible man and van Chiswick service provider, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of slavery or servitude within our operations or supply chains.

Our commitment applies to every part of the business, including recruitment, subcontracted work, procurement, and the selection of suppliers. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same high standards. The principles in this statement support our wider approach to ethical conduct and responsible trading, ensuring that our Chiswick man and van services are delivered in a lawful and fair manner.

We undertake due diligence when engaging new suppliers and service partners. This includes reviewing business credentials, assessing labour practices, and considering any indicators of risk related to modern slavery. Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits to confirm that working conditions are safe, wages are lawful, and employment practices are compliant with applicable legislation. Any supplier found to be in breach of our standards may be subject to corrective action, suspension, or termination of the relationship.

Our staff receive guidance on recognising potential signs of exploitation, such as restricted movement, withheld documents, unclear pay arrangements, or workers appearing intimidated. We encourage vigilance across all operational levels so concerns can be identified early. While we operate locally, we understand that even a small Man And Van Chiswick business must take active steps to reduce the risk of modern slavery in logistics, labour hiring, and third-party support services.

To support accountability, we have established clear reporting channels for employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise concerns about unethical conduct. Reports may be made internally through management routes, and all concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with confidentiality where possible. No individual will suffer retaliation for raising a genuine concern in good faith, and we will take appropriate action where misconduct is confirmed.

We also monitor areas of higher risk, including labour-only subcontracting, temporary staffing arrangements, and services sourced through external providers. Our approach is proportionate to the size of the organisation, but it remains firmly rooted in compliance and responsibility. This means we do not rely solely on trust; we actively seek evidence that the people supporting Man And Van Chiswick are employed and treated fairly.

Modern slavery prevention is an ongoing process, not a one-time exercise. For that reason, this statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, accurate, and aligned with current legislation and business practices. During the review, we assess any emerging risks, update our controls, and improve our supplier oversight where needed. We also consider whether additional training, checks, or policy changes are required.

If we identify any sign of non-compliance, we will act quickly and decisively. This may include requesting remedial measures, increasing monitoring, or ending commercial relationships where necessary. Our zero-tolerance stance means that ethical concerns are never ignored, and our responsibility extends beyond legal minimums to include fair treatment and respect for human dignity.

This Modern Slavery Statement reflects the values of Chiswick man and van operations that seek to protect vulnerable people and promote ethical business conduct. We are committed to maintaining a supply chain and workplace free from exploitation, and we will continue to strengthen our controls, scrutiny, and accountability to help prevent modern slavery in every area of our business.
