Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Crayford

Man With Van Crayford is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, servitude, and human trafficking are serious abuses that can occur in any sector. This statement sets out the steps taken by Man With Van Crayford to prevent such practices within our operations and supply chains.

Our approach is built on a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery. This applies to our employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers. We expect everyone associated with Man With Van Crayford to uphold lawful and ethical employment practices, to treat workers with dignity, and to act immediately if they suspect any breach of this policy.

We undertake risk-based supplier audits to assess whether our partners comply with labour laws, ethical recruitment standards, and safe working conditions. These checks may include document reviews, workforce interviews, and scrutiny of subcontracting arrangements. Where concerns are identified, Man With Van Crayford will require corrective action or, if necessary, suspend or end the relationship.

We aim to prevent exploitation by embedding due diligence into our procurement and operational processes. When selecting suppliers, Man With Van Crayford considers their reputation, labour practices, and ability to demonstrate compliance with anti-slavery standards. New and existing suppliers may be asked to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour in any part of their business.

The company also provides clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Employees and supply chain workers are encouraged to report suspicious behaviour, unsafe recruitment methods, withheld documents, or signs of coercion. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with sensitivity to protect those who speak up.

Training and awareness are important parts of our strategy. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising the indicators of exploitation, including unusual control over workers, restricted freedom of movement, or inconsistent pay practices. By improving awareness, Man With Van Crayford strengthens its ability to identify risk early and respond appropriately.

Where modern slavery risks are identified, Man With Van Crayford will take decisive action. This may include requesting evidence of remediation, increasing audit frequency, reviewing subcontractors, or terminating relationships where ethical standards are not met. Our objective is not only compliance, but also the protection of vulnerable people across the supply chain.

We keep our procedures under regular review so that they remain effective and proportionate. The management team evaluates audit results, incident reports, supplier responses, and training outcomes to identify patterns and strengthen controls. This ongoing oversight supports a culture of accountability and helps ensure that our zero-tolerance policy remains practical and enforceable.

Annual review is a key part of this statement. At least once every year, Man With Van Crayford assesses progress, updates risk controls, and confirms whether further measures are needed. The review considers any changes in legislation, business activity, or supply chain structure, ensuring that our commitment to preventing modern slavery stays current and meaningful.

We believe that ethical transport and removals services depend on respect for human rights. Man With Van Crayford will continue to work diligently with staff and suppliers to maintain transparent practices, robust checks, and effective safeguards against exploitation. Through vigilance, responsibility, and continuous improvement, we aim to support a supply chain free from modern slavery.
