At Man With Van Bayswater, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that even businesses in the removals and transport sector must remain vigilant, because risks can arise through staffing, subcontracting, logistics, and procurement. Our approach is built on a clear zero-tolerance policy toward any form of slavery or servitude.

We expect every person working with or for Man With Van Bayswater to uphold ethical standards. This includes our employees, contractors, and suppliers. We communicate our expectations clearly at the start of every commercial relationship and reinforce them through internal policies and responsible oversight. Where concerns are identified, we act promptly to investigate, remediate, and, if necessary, terminate the relationship. Preventing abuse is not optional; it is a core part of how Man With Van Bayswater operates.

Our commitment begins with risk awareness. We assess areas where modern slavery could occur, including labour recruitment, delivery support, vehicle maintenance, cleaning services, and outsourced work. We take special care when engaging third parties that may rely on temporary, migrant, or low-paid labour. By understanding these risks, Bayswater Man With Van can strengthen safeguards and reduce the chance that exploitation enters our supply chain.

To support this commitment, we apply supplier due diligence and supplier audits on a risk-based basis. Before onboarding a supplier, Man With Van Bayswater may review trading history, labour practices, and policy controls. Higher-risk suppliers may be asked to provide evidence of worker eligibility checks, wage practices, grievance systems, and training on ethical conduct. Where appropriate, we reserve the right to conduct audits, request documentation, and review corrective action plans. These checks help ensure that our partners share our standards and comply with applicable labour laws.

If an audit or review reveals non-compliance, we require timely corrective action. For serious breaches, Man With Van Bayswater may suspend work or end the agreement. We recognise that meaningful prevention depends not only on screening but also on continuous monitoring. Therefore, our supply chain oversight is not a one-time exercise; it is an ongoing process designed to protect vulnerable workers and maintain accountability throughout the business relationship.

We also provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely. Any employee, contractor, or supplier who suspects exploitation can report it through internal management routes or designated safeguarding procedures. Reports may be made confidentially, and concerns are treated seriously and with discretion. We do not permit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. This protection is essential to maintaining trust and encouraging early intervention before harm escalates.

Training and awareness are important parts of our response. Relevant staff are encouraged to recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld pay, identity document retention, or unusual control over a worker’s time. Managers are reminded to stay alert during recruitment, onboarding, and supplier selection. Through consistent training, Man With Van Bayswater strengthens its ability to identify risks and respond appropriately.

We review the effectiveness of our controls regularly and use findings to improve our practices. Our policies, supplier checks, and reporting arrangements are evaluated to ensure they remain practical and proportionate. We may update contractual terms, enhance due diligence, or expand training where new risks emerge. This commitment reflects the understanding that modern slavery can change shape over time, and our response must evolve accordingly. As part of our governance, the leadership team oversees progress and promotes a culture of compliance across Man With Van Bayswater.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm its continued relevance and to record any improvements made during the year. The annual review also helps us measure whether our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, and reporting channels are functioning effectively. By maintaining clear standards and continuous oversight, Man With Van Bayswater aims to contribute to a business environment where dignity, lawful work, and human rights are respected at every stage.
