Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Peckham

Man With Van Peckham is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many industries, including transport, logistics, packing, and subcontracted services, and we take our responsibility seriously.

As a moving and transport service provider, Man With Van Peckham depends on trusted suppliers, contractors, and partner organisations. We expect every party working with us to uphold the highest standards of integrity and lawful conduct. Our policy applies to all staff, temporary workers, agency personnel, and suppliers, and it is embedded in our procurement and operational decisions. Any breach of these expectations may result in corrective action, contract suspension, or termination.

We are committed to identifying and preventing risks through proportionate due diligence and regular checks. Our Man With Van Peckham modern slavery policy is reviewed alongside our wider compliance framework to ensure it remains effective and relevant. By maintaining clear internal standards and requiring transparency from partners, we aim to reduce the risk of exploitation in every area where we operate.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Zero tolerance means that no form of exploitation is acceptable, whether direct or indirect. The Man With Van Peckham slavery statement makes clear that any suspicion or evidence of forced labour, debt bondage, servitude, or child exploitation will be treated as a serious matter. We expect managers to remain alert to warning signs, including coercive control, unusual working conditions, withholding of wages, or restrictions on freedom of movement.

All employees receive guidance on recognising modern slavery indicators and on escalating concerns promptly. We also require suppliers to confirm that their own operations reflect comparable standards. If a risk is identified, we will investigate it promptly, document the findings, and take appropriate remedial action. Our aim is not only to comply with legal duties, but to help create a safer and fairer business environment.

We recognise that a strong anti-slavery approach must be practical as well as principled. For this reason, our policies are communicated in plain language, and responsibilities are assigned clearly across management and procurement. This ensures that Man With Van Peckham does not rely on assumptions, but instead applies consistent controls and oversight.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier management is a key part of our prevention strategy. We carry out proportionate supplier audits and checks based on the level of risk associated with each arrangement. These reviews may include assessing working practices, employment terms, subcontracting arrangements, and evidence of lawful recruitment. Where appropriate, we ask suppliers to provide written assurances and supporting records demonstrating compliance with anti-slavery expectations.

Man With Van Peckham uses a risk-based approach so that higher-risk suppliers receive closer scrutiny. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our standards, we may require immediate improvements, increased monitoring, or disengagement from the relationship. We also aim to encourage responsible procurement by selecting partners that share our commitment to ethical business conduct.

Our audits are not a one-off exercise. We review supplier performance throughout the relationship and remain alert to changes in circumstances that could increase risk. This ongoing process supports the integrity of the Man With Van Peckham modern slavery statement and reinforces our expectation that all business conducted on our behalf must be free from exploitation.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

We encourage anyone who suspects modern slavery, unethical recruitment, or exploitative treatment to raise the issue without delay. Reporting can be made through internal management routes, and concerns will be handled with sensitivity and confidentiality wherever possible. We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who reports a genuine concern in good faith.

Our reporting process is designed to support early intervention. Concerns are reviewed by appropriate senior personnel, recorded carefully, and escalated if urgent action is needed. Where necessary, we will cooperate with external authorities and take steps to protect anyone who may be at risk. This reflects our belief that accountability is essential to effective prevention.

We also train relevant staff to recognise how modern slavery may appear in practice, including signs that can be hidden within ordinary working arrangements. By maintaining clear reporting channels, Man With Van Peckham helps ensure that issues can be identified and addressed before harm escalates.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains current, effective, and aligned with our business operations and legal obligations. The review considers audit outcomes, supplier performance, incident reports, staff awareness, and any emerging risks across the sector. Where improvements are needed, we update our controls, training, and monitoring measures accordingly.

Man With Van Peckham is committed to continuous improvement in the prevention of modern slavery. We understand that vigilance is required at every level of the business, and we will continue strengthening our due diligence, supplier oversight, and internal awareness over time. Our commitment is clear: exploitation has no place in our organisation or in our supply chain.
