Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Fitzrovia
Man And Van Fitzrovia is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, or any form of exploitation. This statement sets out the principles and actions that guide our operations, our partnerships, and our expectations of those who work with us. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms, including debt bondage, child labour, coercion, and deceptive recruitment practices. As a trusted Fitzrovia man and van service, we take active steps to ensure our business remains transparent and humane.
Our Commitment and Principles
The company is committed to upholding fundamental human rights across every part of its activities. We apply strict due diligence when engaging employees, contractors, and suppliers, ensuring that all labour is freely chosen and fairly treated. Man And Van Fitzrovia expects honesty, dignity, and lawful conduct throughout the supply chain. Any breach of these principles is treated seriously and may result in immediate termination of the relationship. We believe that ethical practice is essential to long-term trust, and we continue to strengthen our controls to prevent abuse.
Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all internal operations and external business relationships. Man and van Fitzrovia requires managers to remain alert to warning signs such as excessive working hours, restricted freedom of movement, withheld documents, or unexplained third-party control over workers. Staff receive clear instructions to act promptly if anything appears unusual. By maintaining a culture of vigilance, the business aims to prevent exploitation before it can take root.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
Supplier oversight is central to our approach. Before working with any supplier, we assess their labour standards, ownership structure, and operational practices. Existing suppliers may be subject to periodic audits, document checks, and risk-based reviews to confirm compliance with anti-slavery expectations. Where necessary, we request evidence relating to wages, contracts, right-to-work verification, and subcontracting arrangements. This process helps Man And Van Fitzrovia identify and address potential risks across the supply chain.
Monitoring and Corrective Action
When concerns arise, we investigate without delay and work to obtain full clarity. If a supplier is found to be in breach of our standards, we require immediate corrective action and may suspend or end the partnership if improvements are not made. We also encourage open communication with suppliers so that expectations are understood from the outset. Our objective is not only compliance, but continuous improvement in ethical sourcing and labour protection.
The company maintains records of supplier assessments and audit outcomes to support accountability and consistency. This enables us to review trends, identify higher-risk areas, and refine our approach over time. In doing so, Fitzrovia man and van services can better protect vulnerable workers and reduce exposure to hidden exploitation.
Reporting Channels and Employee Responsibilities
All workers, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to report any suspicion of modern slavery immediately. Reports may be made through internal management channels, and concerns will be treated seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. We expect everyone connected with the business to act responsibly and to escalate issues when they believe someone may be at risk. This is a shared responsibility that supports a safer and fairer working environment.
Managers are trained to recognise signs of coercion, intimidation, or unsafe recruitment practices. They must respond promptly, document concerns, and ensure that any affected individual is protected. Man and van Fitzrovia is committed to creating a workplace where speaking up is supported and where action follows concern. A clear reporting culture is vital to the prevention of exploitation.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with best practice. The annual review includes an evaluation of supplier audits, reported concerns, training needs, and any changes in legal or operational risk. By revisiting our controls each year, we strengthen our ability to detect problems early and improve our safeguards. Man And Van Fitzrovia will continue to uphold its responsibility to operate ethically and to contribute to the eradication of modern slavery in all its forms.
