Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Brentcross
Man With Van Brentcross is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights in every part of our work. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by Man With Van Brentcross to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our business and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, cleaning, maintenance, and outsourced support services. For that reason, our approach is built on prevention, vigilance, and accountability.
Our zero-tolerance policy applies across all operations and to every person acting on behalf of Brentcross man with van services. This policy means we will not knowingly work with any organisation or individual involved in exploitation, coercion, deception, debt bondage, or abusive recruitment practices. All managers are expected to identify risks early, apply ethical decision-making, and escalate concerns without delay. We also expect our workforce and partners to uphold the same standards and to support a culture where human dignity is protected.
As a trusted Man With Van Brentcross provider, we understand that supply chains may involve hidden labour risks. We therefore assess suppliers before engagement and review them periodically thereafter. Our due diligence process considers labour practices, ownership structure, geographical risk, subcontracting arrangements, and any history of non-compliance. Where necessary, we request written assurances, policies, and evidence of ethical recruitment. If a supplier cannot meet our standards, we reserve the right to pause, restrict, or end the relationship.
We conduct supplier audits proportionate to risk. These audits may include document checks, workforce interviews, site inspections, and reviews of pay, working hours, and right-to-work controls. For higher-risk suppliers, we apply closer monitoring and may ask for corrective action plans with clear deadlines. Man With Van Brentcross also expects suppliers to cascade these obligations to their own subcontractors, ensuring that standards are not weakened further down the chain. Through this process, we aim to detect warning signs early and improve conditions where needed.
The effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures depends on clear reporting routes. We provide multiple reporting channels so that concerns can be raised promptly and safely. Any worker, supplier, or stakeholder who suspects exploitative conduct is encouraged to report it through internal management routes, designated safeguarding contacts, or formal grievance procedures. Reports may be made confidentially, and concerns raised in good faith will be treated seriously and investigated without retaliation. This is a core part of how Brentcross van and man services protects vulnerable people.
Training is another key safeguard. Staff involved in recruitment, procurement, operations, and contract management receive guidance on recognising indicators of modern slavery, including document confiscation, unusual control by third parties, restricted freedom of movement, or inconsistent wage records. We reinforce the importance of ethical hiring and fair treatment at every stage. Our approach also includes careful vetting of labour providers, especially where temporary or seasonal workers may be used. By combining training, scrutiny, and clear escalation paths, we strengthen our resilience against exploitation.
We review this statement annually to ensure it remains accurate, practical, and effective. The annual review examines incident reports, supplier performance, audit outcomes, training completion, and changes in legal or sector-specific risk. Senior leadership is responsible for approving updates and for ensuring that lessons learned are translated into improved controls. If new risks are identified, we adjust our policies, supplier checks, and awareness measures accordingly. This ongoing cycle helps Man With Van Brentcross stay proactive rather than reactive.
Our commitment also extends to fair recruitment and responsible contracting. We do not charge workers for recruitment fees, and we expect labour agencies and subcontractors to follow the same standard. Any form of identity retention, coercion, or intimidation is unacceptable. We aim to build long-term relationships with ethical partners who demonstrate transparency and respect for worker welfare. In doing so, Man With Van Brentcross supports a supply chain that reflects our values and legal obligations.
This statement reflects the continuing responsibility of Man With Van Brentcross to identify, prevent, and address modern slavery risks wherever they may arise. We recognise that meaningful action requires constant attention, reliable reporting mechanisms, and disciplined supplier oversight. With a firm zero-tolerance policy, targeted audits, accessible reporting channels, and annual review, we are committed to promoting safe, lawful, and ethical operations throughout the business and its supply chain.
