Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Loxford
At Man With Van Loxford, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that a zero-tolerance policy is essential to protecting workers and maintaining ethical standards across every part of our service.
Our Commitment
As a responsible Man With Van Loxford provider, we understand that modern slavery can occur in many forms, including debt bondage, deception, withheld wages, and excessive control over a person’s movement or freedom. We do not tolerate any practice that undermines dignity or lawful employment. All staff, contractors, and business partners are expected to act in line with our values and comply with applicable labour and anti-slavery laws.
Our approach begins with prevention. We assess risks in our operations and in the businesses we work with, paying particular attention to sectors or arrangements where labour exploitation may be more likely. We also promote awareness so that our teams can identify warning signs and act responsibly if concerns arise.
Supplier Oversight and Audits
We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to ethical conduct. Each supplier is required to confirm that it operates lawfully and does not use forced, trafficked, or child labour. Man With Van Loxford may carry out proportionate supplier audits and reviews, which may include checks of onboarding documents, labour practices, subcontracting arrangements, and wage or working-time records where relevant.
If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we will take action based on the severity of the issue. This may include requesting corrective measures, increasing monitoring, suspending new work, or ending the relationship where necessary. Our procurement decisions are guided by ethical responsibility as well as operational reliability.
Reporting Concerns
We encourage anyone connected to Man With Van Loxford to report concerns about unethical conduct, including suspected modern slavery, without fear of retaliation. Concerns may be raised through internal management channels, and all reports are treated seriously, confidentially, and in line with fair investigation procedures. No one should ignore a warning sign if they believe exploitation may be occurring.
Training, Monitoring, and Review
To support our zero-tolerance policy, we provide proportionate training and guidance to relevant team members so they can understand how modern slavery risks may appear in recruitment, subcontracting, and supplier management. We also monitor our procedures to ensure that our response remains effective and practical.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with our business activities and legal obligations. During the review, we consider any reported concerns, supplier assessments, changes in risk, and improvements needed to strengthen our controls.
Through this statement, Man With Van Loxford confirms its ongoing commitment to preventing exploitation and supporting ethical working practices. We will continue to strengthen our policies, improve oversight, and respond decisively to any indication of modern slavery in our operations or supply chain.
