Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Holloway
Man With A Van Holloway is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, human trafficking, bonded labour, child labour, and any form of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many sectors and may be hidden in plain sight, which is why we remain vigilant in our daily practices and procurement decisions.
Our approach applies to every level of the organisation, from management to operational staff and third-party providers. We expect all colleagues, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same ethical standards. In line with our values, Man With A Van Holloway will not knowingly engage with any party involved in abusive labour practices, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships where concerns are identified.
To support this commitment, we embed due diligence into our onboarding and review processes. We assess potential risks before entering new supplier arrangements and monitor ongoing relationships for signs of labour exploitation, unsafe conditions, or unlawful recruitment practices. Our focus is to ensure that every service linked to Man With A Van Holloway is delivered in a responsible and lawful manner.
Supplier Oversight and Risk Management
Supplier audits are a key part of our prevention strategy. We conduct proportionate supplier audits based on the nature of the service, geographic risk, and the supplier’s profile. These audits may include document checks, labour practice reviews, and confirmation that workers are employed voluntarily, fairly paid, and allowed to work without coercion. Where needed, we request corrective action plans and follow up to confirm improvements.
We also expect suppliers to maintain transparent hiring practices and to pass the same standards through their own subcontractors. Any supplier found to be ignoring labour protections, withholding identity documents, or using deceptive recruitment fees may face immediate escalation. This helps ensure that the Man With A Van Holloway supply chain remains resilient, ethical, and compliant.
The middle of our framework is built on active monitoring and clear accountability. Managers are responsible for spotting warning signs such as unexplained turnover, restricted movement, or inconsistent worker records. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and document the outcome. This balanced approach supports both prevention and remediation across our business.
Reporting, Training, and Annual Review
We provide confidential reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and suppliers can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made internally through management or through designated safeguarding routes, and every concern is treated seriously. Our policy is that no individual should suffer disadvantage for speaking up about suspected modern slavery, exploitation, or unsafe labour conditions.
Training is also important to our prevention work. Relevant staff receive awareness information on identifying risks, escalating concerns, and maintaining ethical purchasing decisions. This helps ensure that the team understands how modern slavery can present in transport, logistics, and associated services, and how Man With A Van Holloway responds when risks are identified.
We review this statement annually to confirm that it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with current legal expectations and business activities. The annual review considers supplier performance, reported concerns, audit findings, and any changes in risk exposure. If improvements are required, we update our controls, strengthen oversight, and refine responsibilities accordingly.
In summary, Man With A Van Holloway maintains a firm commitment to eliminating modern slavery in all its forms. Through a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, secure reporting channels, and an annual review process, we aim to operate responsibly and protect the rights and dignity of every worker connected to our business.
Statement of Commitment
We will continue to improve our practices, challenge unethical conduct, and uphold the principle that fair work and human dignity must remain at the centre of everything we do.
