At Man With Van Colliers Wood, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that even service-based businesses can face risks through subcontractors, labour providers, vehicle maintenance partners, and other third-party relationships. For that reason, we take a proactive approach to prevention, monitoring, and accountability.

Our commitment applies across every part of Man With Van Colliers Wood, including recruitment, procurement, scheduling, and supplier management. We expect all employees, contractors, and partners to act ethically and to comply with applicable labour laws and human rights standards. Any breach of this policy is treated seriously and may result in contract termination, disciplinary action, or further reporting where required.

To reduce risk, Man With Van Colliers Wood carries out due diligence on suppliers and service providers before engagement and throughout the business relationship. We assess whether partners have appropriate labour practices, identity checks, working conditions, and legal compliance measures in place. Where necessary, we request supporting documentation and reserve the right to conduct supplier audits. These audits help us identify warning signs such as excessive working hours, wage irregularities, unsafe conditions, or undocumented labour arrangements.

Our procurement standards also require suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or child labour. If a concern is identified, we investigate promptly and seek corrective action. We may suspend or end a relationship if a supplier fails to meet our expectations. This approach supports the long-term integrity of Man With Van Colliers Wood and reinforces our belief that ethical conduct must be built into every stage of the service chain.

We understand that prevention depends on awareness. Therefore, staff involved in hiring, subcontracting, and operations receive guidance on recognising signs of exploitation, including restricted movement, confiscated documents, intimidation, or unusually controlled working patterns. This internal awareness supports our ability to respond quickly and responsibly. By maintaining clear standards, Man With Van Colliers Wood strengthens its ability to operate transparently and lawfully.

We also maintain accessible reporting channels so that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders may report suspected modern slavery issues through internal management routes or designated whistleblowing procedures. Every report is taken seriously, handled discreetly, and reviewed by the appropriate decision-makers. We encourage early reporting, as swift action can reduce harm and improve the chances of meaningful remediation.

Reports may relate to any part of our operations, including recruitment practices, subcontractor conduct, or supplier performance. Where allegations are substantiated, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and take steps to protect affected individuals. Our response may include ceasing work with a supplier, strengthening contract terms, or introducing enhanced monitoring. This reflects the zero-tolerance policy adopted by Man With Van Colliers Wood and our broader commitment to responsible business conduct.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal and ethical expectations. The review considers changing supply chain risks, audit findings, staff training needs, and any reports received during the year. Where improvements are identified, we update our controls and procedures accordingly. In this way, Man With Van Colliers Wood continues to strengthen its approach to tackling modern slavery and protecting human dignity.

Through clear policies, supplier audits, reporting mechanisms, and annual oversight, Man With Van Colliers Wood reaffirms its determination to prevent modern slavery in all forms. We believe responsible moving services should be delivered with respect, transparency, and accountability, and we are committed to upholding those values in every aspect of our work.
