Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Kenton

Man With Van Kenton is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Man With Van Kenton services to prevent slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms and in many sectors, and we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that exploits people or denies them freedom.

Our policy applies to employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers supporting Man With Van Kenton removals and related activities. We expect all parties to share our commitment to ethical conduct and to comply with applicable labour laws. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to identify risks, act on concerns, and promote fair treatment across the business. In all decisions, we seek to ensure that business growth never comes at the expense of dignity or safe working conditions.

The business carries out appropriate due diligence when engaging suppliers and service partners. As part of this process, Man With Van Kenton relocation operations considers the nature of work, labour practices, and any known risk indicators linked to modern slavery. Suppliers may be asked to confirm their own ethical policies, contractual obligations, and worker protections. Where necessary, we will request additional evidence and review any concerns before entering or continuing a commercial relationship.

We also carry out supplier audits where the level of risk justifies further checks. These audits may include reviewing labour practices, subcontracting arrangements, payroll controls, and documentation that supports lawful employment. If a supplier falls short of expected standards, we will seek corrective action and set clear timeframes for improvement. If improvements are not made, the relationship may be paused or ended. This approach supports our zero-tolerance policy and helps protect vulnerable workers.

Training and awareness are essential parts of prevention. Managers and relevant staff involved in Man With Van Kenton moving services are encouraged to remain alert to warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, poor living conditions, or unusual dependence on one employer. By understanding these risks, we can respond quickly and responsibly. Our aim is to build a culture where ethical concerns are identified early and addressed without delay.

We maintain several reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Any worker, supplier, or stakeholder who suspects a breach may report it through internal management routes or through designated compliance processes. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion. Retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern is not tolerated. We want people to feel able to speak up where something does not seem right.

Where potential modern slavery issues are identified, we will take proportionate action based on the facts. This may include further investigation, engagement with the supplier, support for affected individuals, and escalation to the relevant authorities where appropriate. We recognise that modern slavery is often hidden and complex, so we approach each case with care, urgency, and respect for those at risk. Our objective is not only to comply with the law, but to contribute to safer working practices.

Man With Van Kenton reviews this statement annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with current risks. The review considers changes in operations, supplier relationships, legislation, and best practice. Any updates are approved by senior management and used to strengthen our controls. This annual review helps ensure that our commitment remains active rather than symbolic, and that our standards continue to improve over time.

In closing, Man With Van Kenton reaffirms its dedication to preventing modern slavery in all forms. Through zero-tolerance expectations, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and an annual review process, we aim to uphold ethical standards across every part of the business. We believe that responsible trading requires vigilance, accountability, and respect for human rights at every stage of service delivery.
