Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Oldoakcommon

Man With Van Oldoakcommon is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by our organisation to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect any industry, and we treat the risk seriously across all areas of our work. Our zero-tolerance approach means that any form of exploitation is unacceptable in our business or among those who work with us.

As a provider operating under the Man With Van Oldoakcommon name, we understand that trust depends on responsible conduct. We are committed to maintaining fair employment practices, ethical procurement, and safe working conditions. This statement applies to our internal teams, contractors, and suppliers. We expect everyone connected with Man With Van Oldoakcommon services to uphold the same standards and to act in a way that supports dignity, fairness, and lawful employment.

Our organisation’s zero-tolerance policy is central to our approach. We do not knowingly engage with any individual or company involved in modern slavery or human trafficking. Recruitment processes are designed to verify worker identity, right to work, and lawful terms of engagement. We also require managers to remain alert to warning signs such as withheld documents, coercion, excessive working hours, or restrictions on freedom of movement. Where concerns arise, they are escalated immediately for investigation and action.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

Man With Van Oldoakcommon seeks to reduce risk throughout its supplier base by applying proportionate due diligence measures. Before engaging new suppliers, we assess their labour practices, ownership structure, geographic risk, and alignment with our ethical standards. Existing suppliers are expected to comply with our anti-slavery requirements as a condition of doing business. Where appropriate, we request declarations, policy confirmations, and evidence of workforce protections.

Supplier monitoring is an ongoing process. We conduct supplier audits and reviews based on risk level, business criticality, and the nature of services provided. These checks may include document reviews, site visits, and discussions about recruitment, wage practices, and subcontracting controls. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we may require corrective action, suspend new work, or end the relationship. We believe that meaningful oversight strengthens the resilience of the Man With Van Oldoakcommon supply chain.

Training and awareness are essential to our prevention strategy. Relevant staff receive guidance on identifying red flags, applying procurement controls, and responding to concerns. We encourage a culture in which ethical questions can be raised early and without hesitation. Through consistent education, we aim to ensure that those representing Man With Van Oldoakcommon understand their responsibility to protect workers and uphold our values.

Reporting, Investigation, and Review

We provide clear reporting channels so concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and promptly. Reports may be made internally to management or through other approved reporting routes, and all concerns are handled discreetly. Retaliation against anyone raising a concern in good faith is not tolerated. Every report is assessed carefully, and where necessary we work with relevant parties to investigate the issue, protect affected individuals, and prevent recurrence.

If an issue is identified, we respond in proportion to the risk and severity of the concern. This may include immediate supplier engagement, enhanced audit activity, termination of contracts, or referral to the appropriate authorities. Our priority is to support potential victims and ensure that any business relationship contributing to abuse is addressed decisively. The Man With Van Oldoakcommon name must reflect responsibility at every level of operation.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and best practice. The review considers updates to risk assessments, supplier performance, training needs, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. By carrying out regular reviews, Man With Van Oldoakcommon strengthens accountability and confirms its ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery in all forms.
