Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Teddington

Man With Van Teddington is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and exploitation, remains a serious global issue. As a responsible local business, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery within our operations and throughout our supply chain.

Our commitment applies to every part of the business, from recruitment and onboarding to subcontracted support and procurement. We will not knowingly engage with any individual or organisation that benefits from exploitation. This statement reflects our duty to act ethically, to protect vulnerable people, and to uphold lawful and fair working practices across Man With Van Teddington services.

We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to share this commitment. Any breach of our standards may result in immediate action, including termination of business relationships where appropriate.

Our Supply Chain Standards

We take a risk-based approach to assessing suppliers and service partners. Before entering into an agreement, we evaluate their labour practices, reputation, and compliance with employment law. Where risks are identified, additional checks are carried out to ensure that our Man With Van Teddington supply chain remains ethical and transparent.

Our supplier audits are designed to verify that vendors comply with our expectations on wages, working hours, age verification, documentation, and freedom of association. Audits may include document reviews, declarations, and follow-up assessments. If concerns arise, we reserve the right to request corrective action or discontinue the relationship.

We also require suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced labour, debt bondage, or deceptive recruitment practices. By maintaining active oversight, our Teddington removals business aims to reduce the risk of hidden exploitation in the goods and services we rely on.

Reporting Concerns and Raising Issues

We encourage everyone connected with our business to speak up if they suspect abuse, coercion, or unsafe working conditions. Reports may be made internally through management channels or by notifying a senior representative responsible for compliance. All concerns are treated seriously, promptly reviewed, and handled with appropriate confidentiality.

We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. People who report issues should feel protected and supported. This approach strengthens accountability and helps ensure that Man With Van Teddington can respond quickly to potential risks.

Where a report indicates possible modern slavery, we will investigate, document findings, and take corrective action. This may involve supplier review, contract suspension, or referral to the relevant authorities where required by law.

Governance, Training, and Review

Responsibility for implementing this statement sits with senior management, who oversee policy compliance and risk monitoring. We provide appropriate awareness guidance so that staff can recognise warning signs and understand how to respond. This helps ensure that our Man With Van Teddington operations remain aligned with ethical standards.

Our policy is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains effective, up to date, and responsive to changes in law, industry practice, and operational risk. The review may lead to strengthened controls, improved supplier checks, or updated internal procedures.

Through ongoing vigilance, responsible procurement, and a clear commitment to human dignity, Man With Van Teddington continues to oppose modern slavery in every form. We will work continuously to improve our safeguards and maintain a business culture based on honesty, respect, and accountability.
