Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Childshill

Man With Van Childshill is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and in full respect of human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and controls we apply to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that exploits or harms individuals. Our commitment applies across every part of the business, from recruitment and employment conditions to subcontracted services and procurement decisions.

We expect everyone working with Man With Van Childshill to uphold the highest ethical standards. Our internal policies are designed to protect workers, promote fairness, and ensure that all labour is freely chosen. We also require our suppliers and business partners to meet the same expectations. Where concerns arise, we act promptly and decisively. We believe that vigilance, accountability, and transparency are essential in preventing exploitation and maintaining trust.

Our governance framework includes regular training for relevant staff so that indicators of modern slavery can be recognised early. Managers involved in hiring, procurement, and operations are instructed to assess risk carefully and to avoid relationships that could expose the business to unethical conduct. Man With Van Childshill will not knowingly work with any party involved in forced labour, deceptive recruitment, withheld wages, or unsafe working conditions.

Supplier management is central to this statement. We carry out supplier audits and review partner conduct to identify potential risks in the supply chain. These audits may include checks on labour practices, documentation, subcontracting arrangements, and compliance with relevant laws and standards. When concerns are identified, we seek immediate corrective action and may suspend or end relationships where improvements are not made. Our aim is to maintain a supply chain that is ethical, transparent, and resilient.

We also recognise the importance of accessible reporting channels. Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to report any suspicion, concern, or breach without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes and are handled confidentially wherever possible. Allegations are reviewed carefully, investigated appropriately, and escalated when necessary. No one should ever feel pressured to remain silent about conduct that may place individuals at risk.

In procurement, we apply proportionate due diligence based on the nature of the service and the location of the supplier. Higher-risk relationships receive increased scrutiny, including confirmation of labour standards and evidence of compliance controls. We expect suppliers to share our values and to demonstrate that workers are treated fairly, paid lawfully, and protected from coercion. Modern slavery prevention is not a one-time task but an ongoing responsibility embedded in everyday decision-making.

We are committed to continuous improvement and annual review of this statement, our policies, and our controls. Each year, we assess whether our measures remain effective and whether emerging risks require stronger action. This review considers the results of audits, incident reports, training activity, and any changes in our business or supply chain. Where improvements are needed, we update procedures and strengthen oversight accordingly.

Accountability is a shared duty across the organisation. Senior leadership supports the implementation of this statement and promotes a culture where ethical behaviour is expected and supported. We encourage openness, due diligence, and practical intervention wherever risk is identified. Our approach is rooted in respect for people, fair treatment, and a determination to prevent exploitation in any form.

This statement reflects the values of Man With Van Childshill and our commitment to operating responsibly. Through zero-tolerance standards, supplier audits, secure reporting channels, and an annual review process, we work to reduce risk and uphold human dignity. We will continue to improve our safeguards and ensure that our business remains aligned with the highest ethical principles.
