Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Kennington

At Man And Van Kennington, we are committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation. We recognise that a moving and transport business can interact with multiple suppliers, subcontractors, and service providers, and we take active steps to ensure that our operations remain free from abuse. Our policy applies to all employees, contractors, and third parties working on behalf of Man And Van Kennington.

We define modern slavery broadly and treat any indication of exploitative conduct as a serious concern. The Man And Van Kennington modern slavery policy is built on prevention, detection, and prompt action. We expect everyone connected with our business to act with integrity and to respect lawful working practices. Any breach of this statement may result in the termination of a relationship, disciplinary measures, or reporting to the relevant authorities where appropriate.

To reduce risk within our supply chain, Man And Van Kennington carries out proportionate supplier audits and reviews. These assessments consider worker treatment, wages, recruitment practices, and evidence of substandard conditions. We aim to work only with suppliers who share our values and can demonstrate fair employment standards. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action plans and reserve the right to suspend or end business relationships if improvements are not made. This approach helps strengthen the integrity of the Kennington removals service and related logistics activities.

Our people are essential to maintaining a safe and ethical workplace. We provide relevant awareness information so staff can recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld documents, debt bondage, or unsafe accommodation. Managers are expected to remain alert to risk indicators and to ensure that procurement decisions support the principles of this statement. By embedding these expectations across the business, Man And Van Kennington reinforces its commitment to lawful and respectful labour practices.

We encourage open and secure reporting channels for any concern linked to modern slavery or unethical conduct. Employees and contractors may raise issues internally through management, and reports are treated seriously and confidentially. No one will suffer retaliation for making a genuine report in good faith. Concerns may include suspicious recruitment methods, unusual payment arrangements, coercion, or signs that a worker is not free to leave. This reporting framework supports early intervention and gives the Kennington man and van operation a practical way to respond to risk.

When a concern is raised, we investigate promptly and proportionately, preserving confidentiality wherever possible. If required, we will pause work with the relevant supplier while the matter is reviewed. Where a risk is confirmed, we will take corrective action, strengthen controls, and monitor the outcome closely. Our objective is not only compliance, but the active prevention of abuse across the supply chain associated with Man And Van Kennington.

This statement is supported by an ongoing annual review process. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our controls, examine risk areas, and update procedures in response to changes in legislation, operations, or supplier profiles. The review considers audit findings, training needs, reported concerns, and any lessons learned from previous incidents. By revisiting our standards regularly, Man And Van Kennington ensures that its approach remains current, practical, and robust.

We also expect the same ethical standards from our business partners. Suppliers are encouraged to maintain transparent records, use lawful recruitment channels, and provide safe working conditions. If a supplier cannot meet these expectations, we will reconsider the relationship. Man And Van Kennington believes that a responsible service depends on responsible partnerships, and that zero tolerance must be matched by consistent action.

This statement reflects the values of Man And Van Kennington and our determination to help eliminate exploitation in every part of our work. We will continue to strengthen prevention measures, refine supplier monitoring, and support a culture in which concerns can be raised without fear. Through vigilance, accountability, and regular review, the Man And Van Kennington modern slavery statement stands as a clear commitment to ethical trading and respect for human dignity.
