Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Chessington

Man With A Van Chessington is committed to operating with integrity, accountability, and respect for human rights in every part of our business. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to help prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, and subcontracted services, so we maintain clear standards and practical controls to reduce risk.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, drivers, and suppliers associated with Man With A Van Chessington. We do not accept any form of slavery, servitude, coerced labour, debt bondage, child labour, or unsafe working conditions that could enable exploitation. Any breach of this policy is treated seriously and may result in suspension, termination of business relationships, or referral to the appropriate authorities where required.

We expect everyone representing our Man With A Van Chessington service to uphold ethical standards at all times. This includes ensuring that work is undertaken voluntarily, wages are lawful, and workers are treated with dignity and fairness. We also aim to promote awareness so that signs of exploitation can be identified early and responded to appropriately.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We recognise that the greatest modern slavery risks may exist in third-party relationships. For that reason, supplier audits and due diligence checks are an important part of our approach. We assess suppliers and subcontractors based on the nature of their services, the countries or regions involved, the structure of their workforce, and the controls they have in place to protect workers.

Where appropriate, Man With A Van Chessington may request confirmations of labour standards, business practices, and compliance with anti-slavery expectations. We look for evidence of fair recruitment, lawful employment, and safe working conditions. If concerns arise, we may carry out further review, request corrective action, or end the relationship if the issue cannot be resolved satisfactorily.

We encourage suppliers to maintain transparent records and to cooperate fully with audits or compliance checks. Our expectations are communicated clearly during onboarding and throughout the relationship, helping ensure that every partner connected to our Man With A Van Chessington operations understands the importance of preventing exploitation.

Reporting Channels and Response

We want concerns to be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Any worker, supplier, or member of our team who suspects modern slavery or unethical labour practices can report it through established internal reporting channels. Reports are treated seriously, reviewed promptly, and handled with confidentiality wherever possible.

Our response process is designed to be fair and effective. If a report suggests possible exploitation, we investigate the matter, record findings, and take suitable action. This may include immediate escalation, temporary suspension of work, supplier review, or support for affected individuals. At Man With A Van Chessington, protecting vulnerable people takes priority over commercial convenience.

We also promote a culture in which people feel able to speak up if something does not seem right. This helps us identify risks linked to recruitment, subcontracting, wages, documentation, or workplace conditions before they become more serious.

Governance, Training, and Annual Review

Responsibility for this statement and for our anti-slavery approach sits with management, who monitor compliance and support continuous improvement. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs, applying our policies, and escalating concerns appropriately. We aim to strengthen awareness across Man With A Van Chessington so that prevention becomes part of everyday decision-making.

We review our procedures regularly to make sure they remain suitable for the scale and nature of our business. This includes checking the effectiveness of supplier audits, updating reporting channels where needed, and improving internal controls when new risks are identified. We understand that modern slavery risks can change over time, so our approach must remain practical and responsive.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm its continued relevance and to measure progress against our commitment to ethical business conduct. The annual review allows us to reflect on emerging risks, refine our safeguards, and reaffirm our zero-tolerance policy. Through ongoing vigilance, we aim to ensure that Man With A Van Chessington remains a responsible service provider that respects human rights and rejects all forms of exploitation.
