Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Gantshill
Man With Van Gantshill is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with complete respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines dignity, freedom, or fair treatment. Our commitment applies across all business activities, including the selection of suppliers, engagement of contractors, and day-to-day service delivery. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, and we remain vigilant in identifying and addressing risks wherever they may arise.
As a Man With Van Gantshill service provider, we understand that ethical business conduct is not optional; it is fundamental. Our internal controls are designed to help prevent abuse, and our staff are expected to act with integrity at all times. We expect the same standards from every supplier, subcontractor, and business partner. Any suspicion of exploitation is taken seriously and investigated promptly. Our procedures are built to ensure that risk is managed, accountability is clear, and remedial action is taken where necessary.
We also recognise that modern slavery risks may be more likely in certain sectors, particularly where labour is outsourced, where work is seasonal, or where chains of supply are complex. For this reason, Man With Van Gantshill assesses risk at the start of supplier relationships and continues that assessment throughout the relationship. This includes reviewing labour practices, checking compliance expectations, and considering whether the supplier operates in a higher-risk environment. Where concerns arise, we seek clarification, request corrective action, or end the relationship if standards cannot be met.
Our supplier audits form an important part of our due diligence approach. These audits may include document checks, policy reviews, and confirmation that suppliers uphold lawful employment practices. We may ask for evidence relating to wages, working hours, right-to-work checks, and subcontracting arrangements. In some cases, we may carry out deeper reviews where risk is considered elevated. The purpose of these audits is not only to detect non-compliance, but also to support suppliers in maintaining lawful and ethical standards. A Man With Van Gantshill supply chain must reflect our values, and we expect transparent cooperation from all parties.
Training and awareness are equally important. Relevant team members receive guidance on recognising warning signs of exploitation, such as restricted movement, unusual payment arrangements, lack of control over personal documents, or signs of intimidation. By strengthening awareness, we improve our ability to identify and respond to possible issues early. Our approach is practical and preventative, ensuring that everyone connected with Man With Van Gantshill understands the role they play in protecting vulnerable people.
Reporting channels are available for employees, suppliers, and others who wish to raise concerns. Reports may be made through internal management routes or through other approved procedures established for safe escalation. All concerns are handled sensitively, and anyone raising a genuine issue in good faith will be protected from retaliation. We encourage immediate reporting of any suspected breach, because prompt action is essential in potential modern slavery cases. Every report is reviewed carefully, recorded appropriately, and followed by an investigation proportionate to the nature of the concern.
Where a breach is confirmed or strongly suspected, Man With Van Gantshill will take decisive action. This may include requiring remediation, increasing monitoring, suspending orders, or terminating a supplier relationship. We will also cooperate with relevant authorities where appropriate. Our aim is not simply to react, but to ensure that any harmful practice is identified and addressed as quickly as possible. A robust ethical framework helps us protect people, maintain trust, and uphold the standards expected of our business.
We are committed to annual review of this statement and of the controls that support it. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, audit methods, staff awareness measures, and reporting procedures. We also review emerging risks and update our approach where needed. This annual review ensures that the statement remains relevant, practical, and aligned with current legal and ethical expectations. Continuous improvement is central to our approach, and Man With Van Gantshill will continue to strengthen its efforts to prevent modern slavery in all forms.
This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible business conduct and respect for human rights. Man With Van Gantshill believes that effective prevention depends on clear policies, active oversight, open reporting, and regular review. By maintaining strict standards and expecting the same from our partners, we aim to contribute to a fairer and safer working environment across our operations.
The commitment described in this Modern Slavery Statement applies to all areas of the Man With Van Gantshill business. Through vigilance, accountability, and ethical leadership, we continue to work toward a supply chain and workplace free from exploitation, coercion, and abuse.
