Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Lampton

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the approach of Man With Van Lampton to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chain. As a responsible removals and transport service, we recognise that even businesses with a local footprint can be connected to wider risks through procurement, subcontracting, warehousing, packaging, cleaning, fuel, and other support services. Our commitment is clear: we operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery.

We are dedicated to ensuring that our business is conducted ethically, transparently, and with respect for human rights. This statement applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Man With Van Lampton. We expect everyone associated with our company to uphold the same standards and to act with integrity in every aspect of their work.

Our policy is built on prevention, detection, and response. We take practical steps to reduce risk, including screening new suppliers, checking labour practices, and reviewing the working conditions of service providers where appropriate. Man With Van Lampton will not knowingly work with any party involved in exploitation or abuse.

Our Commitment and Governance

Responsibility for modern slavery prevention sits with senior management, who oversee compliance and ensure that risk management is embedded in day-to-day decision-making. Managers are expected to understand the warning signs of exploitation, such as inconsistent pay arrangements, restricted movement, excessive working hours, or signs that individuals are being controlled by others.

Supplier Standards and Due Diligence

We apply proportionate due diligence to suppliers and subcontractors. This includes confirming business legitimacy, reviewing employment practices, and seeking assurances that workers are recruited and treated lawfully. Where a higher-risk relationship is identified, we may request supporting documentation, conduct site visits, or require corrective action plans. The aim is to ensure that every Man With Van Lampton supplier meets our ethical expectations.

If concerns arise during the supplier review process, we will investigate promptly and may suspend or end the relationship where necessary. We also expect suppliers to maintain appropriate records and to cascade our standards through their own supply chains. This helps us strengthen visibility and accountability across the wider network of services used by Man With Van Lampton.

Reporting suspicious behaviour is essential to our prevention strategy. We provide clear reporting channels for employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise concerns in good faith. Reports may relate to unsafe labour conditions, coercion, withheld documents, wage irregularities, or any other sign of exploitation. All concerns are treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated without delay.

We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern honestly. Individuals who report issues or assist in investigations will be protected as far as possible under our procedures. Where appropriate, cases may be escalated to relevant authorities or specialist organisations. This commitment reinforces the message that modern slavery has no place in Man With Van Lampton.

Training and awareness are also important. Staff involved in hiring, procurement, or supplier management are encouraged to remain alert to risks and to follow internal procedures when unusual behaviour is observed. By building awareness, we strengthen the ability of Man With Van Lampton to identify problems early and act responsibly.

We recognise that the risks associated with modern slavery can change over time as our business evolves and as market conditions shift. For that reason, our controls are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain effective, practical, and proportionate. We also monitor lessons learned from incidents, audits, and supplier assessments so that improvements can be made continuously.

Where risk is identified, we will take corrective action that may include further checks, additional training, tighter contractual safeguards, or termination of the relationship. Our objective is not simply compliance, but genuine ethical responsibility across all aspects of Man With Van Lampton operations and procurement.

We are committed to ensuring that our policies remain aligned with best practice and legal expectations. This includes keeping our internal standards under review and maintaining a culture in which respect for human rights is embedded in everyday work. Modern slavery prevention is not a one-time task; it requires ongoing diligence.

This statement will be reviewed annually to confirm its effectiveness and to reflect any changes in our business, supply chains, or risk profile. The annual review will consider supplier audit findings, reported concerns, training needs, and any new indicators of modern slavery risk. Updates will be made where necessary to strengthen our approach.

By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, offering secure reporting channels, and completing an annual review, Man With Van Lampton demonstrates a clear and continuing commitment to ethical business practice. We remain vigilant in protecting workers’ rights and in ensuring that our services are delivered without exploitation, coercion, or abuse.
