Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Chinatown

Man With Van Chinatown is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, or any form of exploitation. This statement sets out the principles that guide our operations and the expectations we place on everyone who works with or for Man With Van Chinatown. We believe that protecting human dignity is fundamental to sustainable service delivery and fair trade.

Our Chinatown man with van services rely on trusted people, reliable partners, and transparent working practices. To support this, we take a risk-based approach to identifying and preventing slavery and trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to act lawfully, honestly, and with respect for human rights at all times.

The company’s Man With Van Chinatown modern slavery policy applies to all internal activities and to the suppliers that contribute to our transport, storage, equipment, maintenance, and administrative functions. Any breach of this policy is treated seriously. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take proportionate action, which may include suspension of a relationship, remedial measures, or termination of a contract.

We strengthen our controls through supplier audits and ongoing due diligence. New and existing suppliers are assessed according to the nature of their services, geographic risk, labour practices, and history of compliance. Our audits may include document reviews, questionnaires, site checks, and discussions about workforce management. The aim is to ensure that each Man With Van Chinatown supplier understands and meets our minimum ethical standards.

Where weaknesses are identified, we require corrective actions within a defined timeframe. Persistent non-compliance will not be ignored. In line with our modern slavery statement commitments, suppliers must be able to show that recruitment is voluntary, wages are paid correctly, identity documents are not withheld, and workers can leave employment freely without intimidation or penalty.

To help prevent abuse, we also train relevant staff to recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, unexplained deductions, fearfulness, or excessive control by third parties. These measures support our wider due diligence programme and reinforce the responsibility of everyone involved in the Man With Van Chinatown network to remain alert to human rights risks.

Reporting channels are available so that concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspicion of modern slavery, unethical recruitment, coercion, or unsafe working conditions. Reports may be made through internal management routes or through the formal whistleblowing process, and all concerns are handled discreetly and without retaliation.

We are committed to protecting individuals who speak up in good faith. Any allegation connected to the Chinatown man with van supply chain will be assessed fairly, and where necessary, escalated for further investigation. If a vulnerable person is identified, our response will prioritise safety, dignity, and cooperation with appropriate authorities or specialist support services.

Our statement is not static. The risks associated with modern slavery can change as our business and supplier base evolve, so we review the effectiveness of our controls at least annually. This annual review examines audit findings, training completion, reported concerns, and any changes in legislation or industry best practice.

Following each review, Man With Van Chinatown updates its processes where improvements are needed and records the actions taken. Senior responsibility for this statement sits with management, ensuring accountability for ethical conduct across the organisation. By maintaining a robust zero-tolerance policy, thorough supplier audits, reliable reporting channels, and an annual review cycle, Man With Van Chinatown continues to uphold its duty to prevent modern slavery in all its forms.
