Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Tulsehill
Man With Van Tulsehill is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that compromises the dignity or freedom of individuals.
Our approach is based on prevention, detection, and prompt action. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to act in accordance with this commitment. The Man With Van Tulsehill team understands that ethical conduct is not optional; it is a core part of how we operate. We take responsibility for identifying risks, strengthening controls, and ensuring that every relationship we maintain reflects our values.
We also require suppliers and subcontractors to uphold the same principles. Any sign of coercion, deception, debt bondage, withheld wages, unsafe conditions, or restriction of movement is treated as a serious matter. This statement applies to all relevant areas of our business and supports our ongoing effort to reduce vulnerability to exploitation in every part of our operations.
Our Policies and Controls
At the heart of our policy framework is a firm zero-tolerance stance against modern slavery. This is supported by internal procedures that guide recruitment, procurement, and business conduct. We do not knowingly engage with any party involved in exploitative practices. Where concerns arise, they are investigated immediately and, if necessary, relationships may be suspended or ended without delay.
Supplier audits are an important part of our safeguarding measures. We assess selected suppliers using a risk-based approach, considering geography, sector, labour model, and contract type. Audits may include document checks, review of labour practices, and confirmation of lawful employment conditions. The purpose of these audits is to verify compliance, identify weaknesses, and encourage corrective action where required.
We also expect suppliers to demonstrate that workers are treated fairly, are free to leave their employment, and have access to lawful pay and safe conditions. For Man With Van Tulsehill, due diligence is not a one-time exercise; it is a continuing process that helps us maintain a responsible and trustworthy supply chain.
Reporting, Training, and Accountability
We encourage all staff and partners to report any suspicion of modern slavery or unethical conduct. Reporting channels are available through management and designated internal reporting procedures, allowing concerns to be raised confidentially and in good faith. Reports may relate to recruitment, transport, working hours, pay, document retention, or any sign of pressure and exploitation. All concerns are handled seriously and without retaliation.
Training and awareness remain central to our prevention strategy. Relevant personnel receive guidance on recognising indicators of abuse and understanding the correct escalation process. By strengthening awareness across the business, Man With Van Tulsehill aims to ensure that issues can be identified early and addressed effectively before harm escalates.
We maintain clear accountability for modern slavery risk management. Senior management reviews concerns, monitors controls, and supports corrective action where necessary. This oversight helps ensure that our policy is implemented consistently and that ethical expectations remain embedded in daily operations.
Review and Continuous Improvement
Our commitment to tackling modern slavery is reviewed annually. The annual review assesses policy effectiveness, supply-chain risk, audit outcomes, training needs, and any incidents or near misses reported during the year. Findings from this process help shape future improvements and strengthen our controls over time.
We remain dedicated to maintaining high standards and adapting our measures as risks evolve. Through regular review, supplier engagement, and decisive action, Man With Van Tulsehill seeks to uphold ethical business practices and contribute to the prevention of modern slavery in all forms.
