Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Rainham

Man With Van Rainham is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains.

We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, storage, cleaning, maintenance, and subcontracted services. As a Rainham man and van service, we understand the importance of vigilance in every part of our work. Our commitment applies to employees, temporary workers, contractors, and suppliers alike, and it is supported by clear internal controls and ongoing review.

We expect everyone working with Man With Van Rainham to uphold the same standards. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of relationships, disciplinary action, or referral to the appropriate authorities.

Our Policies and Due Diligence

Our modern slavery framework begins with robust due diligence. Before engaging new suppliers or subcontractors, we assess their labour practices, ownership structure, recruitment methods, and compliance history. We also ask for confirmation that they maintain lawful employment practices and do not use child labour, forced work, debt bondage, or coercive controls.

Supplier audits are a key part of our risk management approach. Man With Van Rainham conducts periodic audits of selected suppliers and service providers, with higher scrutiny applied to businesses operating in higher-risk regions or sectors. These audits may include document checks, interviews, and verification of wage, identity, and right-to-work records.

Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action within a defined timeframe. If a supplier fails to address issues satisfactorily, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship. This process helps protect vulnerable workers and reinforces the standards expected across the Rainham man and van supply chain.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels

We believe that awareness is essential to prevention. Staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs such as restricted movement, withholding of documents, unsafe accommodation, or unusual dependence on an employer. Managers are trained to respond promptly, sensitively, and in line with safeguarding principles.

Reporting channels are available for employees and associated workers to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made through internal management routes and are handled confidentially. We encourage early reporting, even where evidence is incomplete, so that concerns can be assessed and appropriate action taken.

We also expect subcontractors and suppliers to maintain their own reporting processes and to cooperate fully with any investigation. Any credible allegation is taken seriously. Where necessary, we will seek expert advice, protect affected individuals, and notify relevant authorities. This reflects our belief that ethical practice is not optional but central to how Man With Van Rainham operates.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

To ensure effectiveness, this statement and the controls supporting it are reviewed annually. The annual review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, training completion, and any changes in legal or industry expectations. The outcome informs updates to policies, procedures, and due diligence checks.

Man With Van Rainham is committed to continuous improvement and to strengthening safeguards year after year. We will adapt our approach where risks change, and we will keep working to ensure our operations remain transparent, responsible, and lawful.

By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, enabling secure reporting channels, and conducting an annual review, Rainham Man With Van services can play a meaningful role in preventing exploitation and promoting dignified work throughout the supply chain.
