Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Manorhouse
Man With Van Manorhouse is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights across every part of our business. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, storage, logistics, cleaning, maintenance, and subcontracted services, and we remain vigilant in identifying and addressing risk.
Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, agency staff, and business partners. We will not knowingly work with any party involved in exploitation or abuse. All personnel are expected to uphold ethical standards, and breaches of this policy may lead to disciplinary action, contract termination, or referral to relevant authorities. This commitment is embedded in our internal controls, onboarding processes, and supplier management practices.
We assess risk based on the nature of work, location, labour model, and subcontracting arrangements. Higher-risk areas may include temporary labour, outsourced vehicle support, and any service involving low-wage or mobile workers. To reduce these risks, Man With Van Manorhouse uses proportionate due diligence before engagement and reviews warning signs such as withheld documents, unusual recruitment fees, restricted movement, or poor accommodation conditions.
Supplier Standards and Monitoring
We expect all suppliers to comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. Our procurement process includes contractual obligations requiring suppliers to prohibit forced labour and to cascade these standards through their own supply chains. Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits and request evidence of wage practices, right-to-work checks, and worker welfare controls. Findings are recorded and used to determine whether corrective action, enhanced monitoring, or disengagement is required.
If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and confidentially. We understand that prevention is more effective than response alone, so our approach combines screening, monitoring, and ongoing engagement. We also encourage suppliers to maintain clear records, train managers, and support fair recruitment practices. By maintaining these expectations, the Man With Van Manorhouse modern slavery statement reinforces our wider responsibility to protect vulnerable workers.
Training is provided to relevant staff so they can recognise indicators of exploitation and respond appropriately. This includes awareness of coercion, debt bondage, identity document retention, and signs that a worker may not be free to leave employment. Managers are encouraged to challenge concerns early and escalate them without delay. We believe informed employees are essential to sustaining a safe and ethical business environment.
Reporting and Accountability
We provide accessible reporting channels for employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to raise concerns in good faith. Reports may be made through internal management routes or through designated safeguarding processes, and all concerns are handled sensitively and without retaliation. We prohibit victimisation of anyone who raises an issue honestly, even if an investigation does not confirm wrongdoing.
Where a concern is substantiated, we will take proportionate action, which may include remediation for affected workers, supplier improvement plans, suspension of business, or termination of relationships. The modern slavery policy at Man With Van Manorhouse is not a static document; it is a living commitment that shapes how we choose partners, manage operations, and respond to risk across the business.
This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and operational changes. The review will consider audit outcomes, reported concerns, supplier performance, training uptake, and any emerging sector risks. Through continuous improvement, Man With Van Manorhouse aims to strengthen its safeguards and uphold the highest ethical standards year after year.
