Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Crooklog

Man With Van Crooklog is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including transport, logistics, cleaning, maintenance, and outsourced services. For that reason, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation and expect the same standard from all suppliers, contractors, and business partners.

Our Man With Van Crooklog operations rely on fair working practices, lawful employment, and responsible procurement. We require all personnel involved in our business to act ethically and comply with relevant labour and employment laws. The company’s management actively reviews risks associated with recruitment, subcontracting, and third-party services to ensure that workers are treated with dignity and that no individual is subjected to coercion, intimidation, or abuse. This statement reflects our continued commitment to prevention, detection, and response.

We understand that modern slavery risks may arise in longer supply chains or where labour is engaged indirectly. Accordingly, our anti-slavery measures apply not only to direct staff but also to suppliers providing vehicles, equipment, fuel, cleaning, repairs, and administrative support. Each relationship is assessed with proportional scrutiny based on the nature of the service and the level of risk. Where concerns are identified, we take immediate action, which may include requesting corrective measures, increasing oversight, or ending the commercial relationship if necessary.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Supplier oversight is a key part of our approach. Supplier audits are conducted on a risk-based basis to confirm that labour practices, wage arrangements, and subcontracting controls are appropriate. These reviews may include documentary checks, confirmation of right-to-work processes, and verification that suppliers have their own anti-slavery policies in place. Where relevant, we seek assurance that recruitment fees are not imposed on workers and that vulnerable labour is not being exploited. We also expect suppliers to cooperate fully with any audit or review.

Our procurement process includes screening for warning signs such as unusual payment arrangements, inconsistent labour records, or refusal to provide evidence of lawful employment practices. If a supplier cannot meet our standards, we will not proceed with the engagement or we will require a documented improvement plan. In line with our modern slavery commitment, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships where ethical concerns remain unresolved.

Training and awareness are essential to effective prevention. Staff involved in hiring, purchasing, and supplier management are encouraged to remain alert to indicators of exploitation, including restricted movement, signs of fear, poor living conditions, or excessive control by others. By increasing awareness across the business, Man With Van Crooklog strengthens its ability to identify risks early and respond appropriately.

Reporting Channels, Review, and Governance

We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and in confidence. Any employee, contractor, or supplier who suspects unethical conduct is encouraged to report it through internal management routes. Concerns will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion. No person who raises a genuine concern in good faith will suffer retaliation, disadvantage, or unfair treatment. This protection supports an open culture in which wrongdoing can be challenged without fear.

The responsibility for implementing this statement rests with management, who monitor compliance and consider whether additional controls are needed when risks change. We keep records of due diligence, audit findings, and remedial actions so that our response remains evidence-based and consistent. As part of our zero-tolerance policy, any confirmed instance of slavery-related conduct will be addressed immediately, and appropriate escalation will follow.

Annual review is an essential part of our governance process. This statement and the controls supporting it are reviewed at least once every year to ensure they remain effective, current, and proportionate to the business. During each review, we assess supply chain risks, audit outcomes, staff awareness, and any reported concerns. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures to strengthen our prevention framework. Man With Van Crooklog remains firmly committed to upholding human rights and to operating a responsible, lawful, and ethical service.
