Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Dollishill
Man With Van Dollishill is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that a zero-tolerance approach is essential to protecting workers and maintaining trust across our services.
Our commitment applies to every part of the business, including direct operations and relationships with contractors, suppliers, and service partners. We expect all parties associated with Man With Van Dollishill to uphold lawful and ethical standards, provide safe working conditions, and respect the dignity of every worker. Where risks are identified, we act promptly and decisively.
We have established a clear policy framework that prohibits any form of slavery or exploitation. This includes labour provided under threat, debt bondage, confiscation of identity documents, unlawful wage deductions, and deceptive recruitment practices. Any breach of this policy may result in immediate action, including suspension or termination of a commercial relationship.
Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
We recognise that supply chains can present varying levels of risk, particularly where labour is sourced across multiple tiers. To address this, Man With Van Dollishill carries out risk-based due diligence on suppliers and subcontractors before engagement and during the relationship. Our checks consider the nature of the service, location, labour model, and any known indicators of vulnerability.
Supplier audits are a key part of our safeguarding measures. These audits may include document reviews, site inspections, worker interviews, and verification of employment practices. When concerns are identified, we require corrective action plans and monitor progress. If a supplier fails to demonstrate meaningful improvement, we will review and, where necessary, end the arrangement.
We also expect suppliers to flow these standards down to their own supply chains. Ethical conduct is not optional; it is a condition of doing business with us. Through this approach, Man With Van Dollishill seeks to reduce hidden risks and reinforce responsible procurement.
Reporting Channels and Worker Protection
Anyone who suspects modern slavery or other exploitative conduct linked to our business is encouraged to report it through our internal reporting channels. Reports may be made by employees, contractors, suppliers, or members of the public, and all concerns are treated seriously, confidentially, and without prejudice. Retaliation will not be tolerated against anyone raising a concern in good faith.
We aim to ensure that reporting is accessible, clear, and responsive. Concerns are reviewed by appropriate personnel, investigated where needed, and escalated when necessary. If a vulnerable worker is identified, our priority is to support protection, safe handling of the case, and referral to relevant authorities or specialist support where appropriate.
Our training and awareness efforts help staff recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withholding of pay, intimidation, or poor accommodation. By building awareness across the organisation, Man With Van Dollishill strengthens its ability to detect and prevent abuse before it escalates.
Governance, Review, and Continuous Improvement
Responsibility for this statement and its implementation sits with senior management, who review our controls, monitor supplier performance, and oversee any remedial actions. We maintain records of due diligence, audit findings, and reported concerns to support accountability and informed decision-making.
This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with applicable laws and best practice. The annual review will consider changes in risk, lessons learned from audits or incidents, and opportunities to improve prevention measures. Man With Van Dollishill is committed to continuous improvement and to strengthening protections year after year.
By maintaining a zero-tolerance stance, applying supplier audits, supporting reporting channels, and carrying out an annual review, we reaffirm our commitment to ethical business practices and to the prevention of modern slavery in all forms.
