Modern Slavery Statement for Man And A Van Soho
Man And A Van Soho is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. As a trusted Soho man and van service, we recognise that modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation have no place in our operations or supply chain. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy and the practical steps we take to reduce risk across the business.
Our Commitment
We believe every person should be treated with dignity. Our man and a van Soho operations are built on lawful employment, ethical conduct, and responsible procurement. We require all staff, drivers, contractors, and suppliers to uphold safe working conditions, fair treatment, and compliance with relevant labour laws. Any indication of exploitative practices is treated as a serious matter.
Zero-Tolerance Policy
Man And A Van Soho maintains a zero-tolerance stance toward modern slavery in all forms. This means we do not knowingly work with any individual or organisation involved in coercion, debt bondage, child labour, or unlawful withholding of documents or wages. If concerns arise, we act promptly to investigate, suspend where necessary, and take corrective action without delay.
Our internal policies are designed to prevent abuse and promote accountability. We use written terms of engagement, identity checks where appropriate, and clear employment standards to ensure that everyone connected to Man And A Van Soho is working voluntarily and legally. Training is provided to help our team identify warning signs, including unusual restrictions on movement, poor accommodation, or signs of intimidation.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
We apply proportionate due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. 
For key partners, the Soho man and van business carries out supplier audits that may include document reviews, worker welfare checks, and assessments of recruitment practices. We expect suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, trafficked, or underage labour and that they share our ethical standards.
Monitoring the Supply Chain
Our supply chain is relatively focused, but we still monitor risk areas such as vehicle servicing, equipment sourcing, cleaning services, and subcontracted labour. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we seek improvement through a corrective plan. Where the issue is serious or repeated, we may end the relationship. This approach helps protect the integrity of the man and a van Soho brand and the people associated with it.
Reporting Channels are essential to our prevention strategy. Team members and suppliers are encouraged to report any concern, suspicion, or incident involving modern slavery, poor labour practices, or unethical conduct. Reports can be made through internal management channels, and all concerns are handled confidentially and sensitively. No one should fear retaliation for raising a genuine concern.
We ensure that allegations are reviewed carefully and escalated where needed. 
Any report related to the Soho man and van operation is investigated promptly, with records kept of findings and actions taken. Where appropriate, we work with relevant authorities or specialist organisations to support a lawful and effective response. Our aim is always to protect people first and prevent further harm.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Man And A Van Soho reviews this statement annually to make sure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal requirements and best practice. 
Each review considers supplier performance, incident reports, audit outcomes, staff awareness, and any changes in the risk profile of our business. We use these findings to strengthen controls and improve training.
The annual review also helps us assess whether our zero-tolerance policy is being applied consistently across operations. As a responsible man and van Soho provider, we understand that preventing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time exercise. We remain committed to vigilance, accountability, and ethical business conduct in every part of our work.
