Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Paddington

Man With Van Paddington is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in any part of our operations or supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation and expect the same standard from everyone who works with us. Our approach is grounded in ethical conduct, legal compliance, and the protection of human rights.

As a man with van Paddington service provider, we recognise that risks can arise across transport, logistics, subcontracting, and purchased goods or services. To address these risks, we assess our suppliers and business partners before and during engagement. We also ensure that our internal policies are understood by staff, contractors, and managers, so that modern slavery concerns are identified early and handled properly.

We are committed to continuous improvement and to reviewing our controls regularly. This statement applies to all areas of the business and reflects our responsibility to act ethically in every stage of service delivery. By embedding transparency and diligence into daily operations, Man With Van Paddington aims to support fair work practices and reduce the risk of abuse in our supply chains.

Our zero-tolerance policy is central to this statement. No employee, contractor, or supplier may engage in conduct that involves coercion, deception, exploitation, debt bondage, or any other form of modern slavery. Any breach of this policy may result in termination of a business relationship or other appropriate action. We communicate these expectations clearly through onboarding, contract terms, and internal policy updates.

Supplier oversight is a key part of our due diligence programme. We carry out supplier audits based on risk, taking into account geography, industry, labour practices, and the nature of services provided. These audits may include document reviews, worker-rights checks, and assessments of subcontracting arrangements. Where concerns are identified, suppliers are expected to provide corrective action plans within agreed timeframes.

Man With Van Paddington also expects suppliers to maintain accurate records, comply with all applicable labour laws, and ensure that wages, working hours, and conditions meet legal standards. If a supplier cannot demonstrate responsible labour practices, we will reconsider the relationship. Our procurement decisions are therefore aligned with our ethical sourcing principles and our commitment to dignity in work.

We encourage anyone associated with our business to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reporting channels are available for employees, contractors, and suppliers to report suspected modern slavery, unsafe practices, or unethical conduct. Reports may be made through management, designated compliance personnel, or formal internal escalation procedures. All concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with appropriate confidentiality.

Where a report suggests that a person may be at immediate risk, we will act quickly to secure their safety and notify relevant authorities where required. We also cooperate with law enforcement and specialist organisations when necessary. Our commitment is to create a working environment in which people are protected, respected, and free from exploitation.

Training supports our prevention efforts by helping staff recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld documents, unusual dependence on intermediaries, or signs of intimidation. By improving awareness, Man With Van Paddington strengthens its ability to detect concerns early and respond effectively. This helps reinforce a culture of responsibility across the business and within our wider supply chain.

This statement will be subject to an annual review to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal and operational developments. The review will consider findings from supplier audits, reported concerns, training activity, and any changes in supply chain risk. Any necessary updates will be approved by senior management and embedded into our business practices.

Through annual review, supplier monitoring, and clear reporting channels, Man With Van Paddington aims to maintain robust safeguards against exploitation. We remain committed to acting responsibly, improving continuously, and upholding the highest standards of integrity. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our ongoing determination to prevent modern slavery in all forms and to promote fair, lawful, and humane working conditions throughout our operations.
