Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Anerley

Man And Van Anerley is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Man And Van Anerley to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect any sector, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to all practices that undermine dignity and freedom.

Our commitment applies to every aspect of the business, including recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and the selection of service providers. We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to share our values and to act responsibly. The Anerley man and van service model depends on trust, and that trust can only be maintained when people are treated fairly, lawfully, and ethically.

We require our teams to remain alert to warning signs such as withheld wages, restricted movement, debt bondage, intimidation, or unsafe working conditions. Any concern will be taken seriously and investigated promptly. By maintaining clear expectations and active oversight, Man And Van Anerley aims to reduce the risk of abuse in every part of the business.

Our Policies and Due Diligence

Our anti-slavery policy forms part of our wider ethical standards framework. It prohibits any form of forced or compulsory labour and requires compliance with all relevant employment and safeguarding laws. Every worker engaged by Man And Van Anerley must be able to work voluntarily, with transparent terms, lawful pay, and the freedom to leave employment in accordance with those terms.

We conduct due diligence on suppliers and service partners before engagement and at regular intervals thereafter. This includes reviewing business practices, ownership structures where relevant, labour standards, and any available evidence of compliance with human rights obligations. Supplier audits are used to assess whether partners meet our expectations and to identify any areas requiring corrective action.

Where a supplier is found to fall short of our standards, we will seek immediate remediation. If improvements are not made within a reasonable timeframe, we may suspend or terminate the relationship. This approach helps ensure that the Man And Van Anerley supply chain remains aligned with our zero-tolerance policy and our commitment to responsible trading.

Reporting Concerns and Raising Issues

We encourage anyone working with or for the company to report concerns about possible modern slavery without delay. Reports may be made through internal management routes, safeguarding leads, or other designated reporting channels established for this purpose. Concerns may relate to recruitment methods, working hours, pay practices, document retention, threats, coercion, or any other indicator of exploitation.

Protection for Those Who Speak Up

All reports will be treated confidentially where possible and handled with sensitivity. No one will suffer retaliation, disadvantage, or dismissal for raising a concern in good faith. This applies equally to staff, contractors, and supplier representatives. We believe that a strong reporting culture is essential to the effectiveness of the Anerley Man and Van anti-slavery commitment.

When an issue is raised, it will be reviewed promptly and escalated where necessary. We may involve senior management, external specialists, or relevant authorities if a serious risk is identified. Our aim is always to protect vulnerable individuals and to take practical steps that prevent further harm.

Training, Monitoring, and Review

We provide guidance to those responsible for recruitment, procurement, and supplier management so they can recognise the signs of modern slavery and respond appropriately. Internal monitoring helps us maintain oversight of labour practices and supplier behaviour, while audit findings are used to improve our controls. This process supports the long-term integrity of Man And Van Anerley.

We recognise that risks can change over time as our operations develop and as markets evolve. For that reason, this statement and the underlying policies are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, proportionate, and legally compliant. The annual review also allows us to reflect on lessons learned and strengthen our controls where needed.

We are committed to continuous improvement and to acting decisively where risk is identified. Man And Van Anerley will continue to uphold ethical standards, monitor supplier performance, and reinforce a culture in which exploitation has no place. This statement confirms our ongoing determination to prevent modern slavery in all forms.
