Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Peckham
Man With A Van Peckham is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights in every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and child exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can appear in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines dignity or lawful working conditions.
Our approach applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers associated with Man With A Van Peckham. We expect everyone working with us to act responsibly, follow the law, and uphold ethical standards. As a local moving and transport service, we understand that labour risks may exist in subcontracted services, vehicle maintenance, temporary staffing, and outsourced operations. For this reason, we use clear controls to reduce risk and to support responsible business conduct.
We do not accept any form of coercion, deception, threats, debt bondage, or exploitation. Any breach of this policy is treated seriously and may lead to immediate termination of a relationship. Through regular awareness checks and management oversight, Man With A Van Peckham reinforces the message that modern slavery has no place in our work. We also expect suppliers to share our ethical standards and to demonstrate that they are taking practical action to protect workers.
To strengthen our commitment, we carry out supplier audits and proportionate due diligence. These checks may include reviewing labour practices, confirming worker eligibility to work, assessing subcontracting arrangements, and examining whether pay, hours, and conditions meet legal requirements. Where a supplier presents elevated risk, we may request further evidence, conduct additional assessments, or refuse to continue the relationship until concerns are resolved.
We focus particularly on suppliers involved in staffing, logistics support, cleaning, maintenance, and other labour-intensive services. Man With A Van Peckham seeks to work only with partners who can show transparent employment practices and respect for employee welfare. If an issue is identified, we require corrective action within a defined timeframe and monitor progress carefully. Persistent failure to improve may result in contract suspension or termination.
All workers connected to our activities should feel safe to raise concerns. We maintain clear reporting channels so that suspected abuse, unethical behaviour, or policy breaches can be reported without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through management, nominated supervisors, or internal safeguarding procedures, and all concerns are handled discreetly. We encourage early reporting because timely action helps prevent harm and supports effective investigation.
Our reporting process is designed to protect whistleblowers and ensure that matters are reviewed fairly. Man With A Van Peckham will assess each report promptly, document findings, and take appropriate steps where a risk is confirmed. This may include notifying senior leadership, improving controls, retraining staff, or ending a business relationship where necessary. We take a proportionate but decisive approach to every case.
Responsibility for this statement sits with senior management, who oversee implementation across the business. They ensure that risk awareness remains active, that due diligence is applied consistently, and that teams understand their responsibilities. Training and internal communication support a culture where respect, legality, and vigilance are part of everyday practice. By embedding these expectations, Man With A Van Peckham aims to reduce the risk of exploitation in all operations.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal obligations and operational changes. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any emerging risks linked to our industry. Where improvements are needed, we update our policies and procedures accordingly. Continuous improvement is central to our ethical commitment.
Through this Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Peckham, we reaffirm our determination to act responsibly and to promote lawful, ethical labour practices. We believe every person has the right to work freely, safely, and with dignity. Our zero-tolerance stance, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process form the foundation of our ongoing effort to prevent modern slavery and support responsible business standards.
