Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Parsons Green

At Man With A Van Parsons Green, 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 slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that exploits individuals or undermines their freedom.

As a responsible Parsons Green removals provider, we expect the same standards from everyone who works with us. Our approach is built on clear policies, due diligence, and ongoing monitoring. We aim to ensure that all workers are treated fairly, paid appropriately, and allowed to work voluntarily, without coercion or intimidation. Every team member is reminded that ethical conduct is not optional; it is central to how Man With A Van Parsons Green operates.

We assess risks across our business activities, including recruitment, subcontracting, transport services, and the procurement of goods and services. Where appropriate, we take steps to verify labour practices and look for warning signs such as document retention, restricted movement, or excessive control over workers. This modern slavery commitment applies equally to permanent staff, temporary workers, contractors, and partners supporting our Parsons Green man and van services.

Supplier Expectations and Audits

Suppliers are required to comply with our ethical standards and applicable labour laws. We communicate our expectations through contracts, onboarding checks, and periodic reviews. Supplier audits are an important part of our prevention framework, helping us evaluate labour practices, subcontracting arrangements, wage records, and working conditions. If concerns are identified, we expect prompt corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if improvements are not made.

Our risk-based audit process focuses on suppliers and service providers that may present a higher exposure to labour exploitation. During these reviews, we consider the origin of labour, the transparency of hiring practices, and whether workers understand their rights. We also reserve the right to request additional evidence, including policy documents and proof of lawful employment, to support our due diligence.

Training and awareness are equally important. Managers and relevant staff receive guidance on recognising possible indicators of modern slavery and on how to escalate concerns responsibly. By strengthening awareness across the business, Man With A Van Parsons Green reduces the likelihood that exploitation could go unnoticed in our supply chain or daily operations.

Reporting, Review, and Continuous Improvement

We encourage any worker, supplier, or associate who suspects a breach of this statement to report it immediately through our internal reporting channels. Concerns may be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and, where necessary, escalated to the appropriate senior decision-makers. This reporting process supports accountability and helps us respond quickly to potential harm.

When an issue is reported, we assess the facts, protect those at risk, and take action proportionate to the findings. This may include further investigation, suspension of work, supplier review, or cooperation with external authorities. We remain committed to improving our response procedures so that our Parsons Green van service continues to reflect best practice in ethical business conduct.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and operational realities. The review considers audit outcomes, reported concerns, supply chain changes, and any emerging risks. Updates are approved by senior management, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to transparency and continuous improvement in the fight against modern slavery.
