Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Brixton

At Man With Van Brixton, we are committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with complete respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines dignity, freedom, or lawful employment.

Our Commitment

As a Brixton van hire and removals service, we depend on drivers, subcontractors, maintenance providers, and other suppliers to support our work. We expect every party connected with Man With Van Brixton to uphold the same ethical standards. Our approach is built on prevention, accountability, and continuous improvement. We assess risks in our operations, review supplier behaviour, and ensure that employment practices are fair, transparent, and lawful.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Internal Controls

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all workers, contractors, and suppliers. No one acting on behalf of Man With Van Brixton may engage in or tolerate coercion, debt bondage, withheld wages, document retention, or any form of exploitation. Managers are expected to remain alert to warning signs such as unusual control over workers, restricted movement, or signs of intimidation. We also provide training so that staff understand how to identify concerns and respond appropriately.

Risk Management and Supplier Audits

We carry out supplier audits based on risk, focusing on labour providers, vehicle maintenance partners, cleaning services, and any third-party organisations involved in our delivery chain. These audits may include document checks, verification of employment practices, and review of subcontracting arrangements. Where risks are identified, we request corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if required. Man With Van Brixton will not knowingly work with any supplier that fails to meet our ethical standards.

We also expect suppliers to demonstrate compliance with relevant employment laws, including fair pay, lawful working hours, and appropriate right-to-work procedures. When entering into new commercial relationships, we consider modern slavery risk as part of our due diligence. This helps us ensure that Man With Van Brixton remains aligned with responsible business practice across every stage of service delivery.

Reporting Channels and Investigation

We encourage anyone who suspects abuse, exploitation, or unsafe labour practices to raise the matter through our internal reporting channels. Concerns may be reported to a manager or through a designated safeguarding process, and all reports are treated seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. Man With Van Brixton will investigate concerns promptly and take appropriate action where necessary, including escalation to relevant authorities if a serious issue is identified.

We are committed to protecting individuals who speak up in good faith. No worker, contractor, or supplier representative should fear disadvantage for reporting a concern. This reporting culture supports early intervention and helps us maintain integrity within our modern slavery statement commitments.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our modern slavery controls are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and proportionate. The review considers audit results, any reported concerns, supplier performance, and changes in legal or operational risk. Where improvements are needed, we update procedures, strengthen checks, and reinforce training.

Through ongoing review and clear accountability, Man With Van Brixton aims to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct. We are dedicated to preventing exploitation, supporting fair treatment, and maintaining a responsible supply chain. This statement reflects our continuing commitment to act with integrity and to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or in the services we provide.
