Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Dagenham

At Man And Van Dagenham, we are committed to operating with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by our Man and Van Dagenham business to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including debt bondage, servitude, and the abuse of vulnerable workers. Our zero-tolerance approach applies to every level of the organisation.

We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold the highest ethical standards. Our policies are designed to ensure that the Dagenham man and van service operates responsibly and lawfully. We do not accept any practice that undermines dignity, freedom, or fair treatment. Any suspicion or evidence of exploitation is treated as a serious matter and is acted upon promptly.

To support this commitment, we provide clear internal procedures that help our team identify warning signs such as withheld wages, excessive working hours, poor living conditions, or restricted movement. Training and awareness are used to ensure that our staff understand how modern slavery can appear in transport, logistics, and subcontracted services. The Man And Van Dagenham team is expected to remain vigilant and to report concerns without delay.

Our supplier management process is central to preventing abuse in the supply chain. Before engaging new suppliers, we assess their labour practices, compliance history, and ethical standards. We also carry out supplier audits on selected partners and higher-risk arrangements to confirm that workers are treated fairly and that legal requirements are met. Where necessary, we request evidence of recruitment practices, wage records, and right-to-work controls to verify compliance.

These audits are not a one-time exercise. The Man and Van Dagenham procurement and management teams review supplier performance regularly, especially where subcontractors, temporary labour, or outsourced services are involved. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we will require corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if concerns are not resolved. This approach helps protect the integrity of our Man and Van Dagenham operations and reinforces accountability throughout our network.

We also maintain accessible reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees, workers, and suppliers are encouraged to report any suspected breach of this statement through internal management routes, incident logs, or designated safeguarding procedures. Reports are treated confidentially, investigated thoroughly, and escalated where needed. Whistleblowing protections are supported to ensure that anyone raising a concern is not disadvantaged for speaking up.

When a report is received, we aim to respond quickly and proportionately. Investigations may include interviews, document checks, and review of working arrangements. If modern slavery indicators are identified, we will take immediate action to protect affected individuals and to prevent further harm. This may involve notifying relevant authorities, pausing work, or strengthening controls within the affected part of the business. Our priority is to ensure that the Dagenham man and van service remains safe, lawful, and ethical.

We recognise that modern slavery risk can change over time, so our statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and up to date. Each review considers new legislation, operational changes, supplier risk, and lessons learned from audits or investigations. Improvements are recorded and embedded into our policies, training, and monitoring processes. This helps the Man and Van Dagenham business continuously strengthen its response and keep standards high.

We are committed to continuous improvement and to ensuring that every part of our business reflects respect, fairness, and accountability. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review, Man And Van Dagenham works to reduce the risk of modern slavery and to promote ethical practices across all activities. This statement demonstrates our ongoing dedication to protecting people and maintaining responsible business conduct within the Man and Van Dagenham service.
