Man With Van Kingston is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to help prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation and expect the same standard from everyone who works with or for us.

As a Kingston man with van service provider, we recognise that our activities rely on trusted relationships with staff, contractors, and suppliers. We therefore apply proportionate due diligence to identify and reduce risks. Our approach is based on clear expectations, regular monitoring, and practical action. We want every part of our business, from daily transport activity to supplier engagement, to reflect fairness, dignity, and accountability.

This statement applies to all areas of our work, including the use of subcontracted support and external service providers. We assess modern slavery risk by reviewing the nature of the service, the location of work, and the level of labour involvement. Where higher risks are identified, we increase scrutiny and request additional assurances. Our commitment is not symbolic; it is embedded in decision-making and operational oversight.

Policies, Training, and Governance

The Man With Van Kingston team is instructed to act with integrity and to remain alert to signs of coercion, debt bondage, restricted movement, withheld wages, or other indicators of abuse. Managers receive guidance on recognising warning signs and escalating concerns appropriately. We review recruitment, onboarding, and engagement practices to help ensure that workers are engaged voluntarily and treated lawfully. Where needed, we take immediate steps to investigate and respond.

We also expect suppliers to share our ethical standards. Our procurement process includes checks designed to confirm that suppliers operate lawfully and responsibly. Contracts may require compliance with labour laws, anti-slavery commitments, and cooperation with any investigation. We believe that responsible sourcing strengthens the resilience of the Kingston removals and transport sector and supports safer working conditions across the supply chain.

When concerns arise, we apply a clear escalation process. The business will investigate allegations promptly and confidentially, using a fair and proportionate approach. If a breach is confirmed, we may suspend the relationship, require corrective action, or terminate the arrangement. Protecting vulnerable people is more important than preserving a commercial relationship, and we will not hesitate to act where abuse is suspected.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Supplier audits are an important part of our modern slavery controls. We conduct periodic reviews of relevant suppliers and subcontractors to verify compliance with legal and ethical requirements. These audits may include document checks, workforce records review, and discussion of labour practices. Where a supplier presents a higher risk profile, we may request evidence of their own anti-slavery measures and corrective action plans.

Audit findings are recorded and reviewed by management to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities for improvement. If a supplier is unable to meet our expectations, we work with them to address deficiencies within a reasonable timeframe. Persistent non-compliance results in stronger measures, including disengagement. This process helps the Kingston man with van operation maintain a supply chain built on transparency and respect.

We also encourage a culture of vigilance among our workforce and partners. Anyone who notices suspicious behaviour is expected to report it immediately. Reporting channels include internal management escalation, written incident reporting, and confidential whistleblowing routes. Reports can be made without fear of retaliation, and all concerns are handled sensitively and objectively. No one should feel unsafe for speaking up.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with current legal and operational requirements. The review considers risk assessments, audit outcomes, reported concerns, and any improvements needed to policies or training. This annual cycle allows Man With Van Kingston to strengthen controls and respond to changing risks in a practical way.

We will continue to improve our systems, enhance supplier engagement, and reinforce awareness throughout the business. Modern slavery prevention is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time exercise. Through consistent oversight, clear reporting channels, supplier audits, and an unwavering zero-tolerance approach, we aim to uphold ethical standards across every part of our work and contribute to the wider effort against exploitation.

Man With Van Kingston remains committed to continuous progress, lawful conduct, and human dignity in every service we provide.
