Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Brixton

Man With Van Brixton is committed to operating with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights across every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms and may exist in industries where labour is outsourced, informal, or under pressure to reduce costs. For that reason, our approach is built on prevention, vigilance, and accountability.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, and third-party suppliers engaged by the business. We do not permit any practice that could contribute to exploitation, coercion, debt bondage, withholding of wages, document retention, or unsafe working conditions. Every person working with Man With Van Brixton must understand that ethical conduct is mandatory, not optional. We expect the same standards from anyone who acts on our behalf, and we reserve the right to end relationships where serious concerns are identified.

To support this commitment, we carry out proportionate risk assessments throughout our supply chain. These assessments help us identify higher-risk areas such as subcontracted labour, recruitment practices, and service providers operating in sectors where worker vulnerability may be elevated. Our Man With Van Brixton modern slavery statement is not a static document; it reflects our active duty to review risks, improve controls, and strengthen supplier oversight over time.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We require suppliers to confirm that they comply with applicable labour laws and maintain fair working practices. Before entering into new arrangements, we assess whether a supplier has suitable policies, worker protections, and management controls in place. Where risk is greater, we may request evidence of right-to-work checks, wage records, subcontracting arrangements, and recruitment procedures. This helps ensure that our Man With Van Brixton slavery prevention measures remain practical and effective.

We also conduct supplier audits on a risk-based basis. These audits may be scheduled or unannounced, depending on the nature of the relationship and any concerns identified through routine monitoring. The purpose of an audit is to verify that working conditions are lawful and fair, and to identify any indicators of exploitation. If issues are found, we expect immediate corrective action, clear timelines, and evidence of improvement. Where a supplier fails to cooperate or remedy serious failings, the business may suspend or terminate the relationship.

Reporting channels are central to our prevention strategy. Workers, suppliers, and anyone else connected to our operations can raise concerns through internal reporting routes without fear of retaliation. Reports may relate to suspected forced labour, unsafe conditions, wage issues, or other unethical practices. All concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled confidentially where appropriate. No one should ever feel pressured to remain silent about possible abuse or exploitation.

Governance, Training, and Annual Review

We provide relevant staff with awareness training so they can recognise warning signs of modern slavery and understand how to respond. Managers involved in procurement, staffing, and supplier oversight receive additional guidance because they are most likely to encounter risk indicators. This training reinforces our zero-tolerance approach and helps ensure that ethical decision-making is embedded in daily practice. Internal responsibilities are clearly assigned so that concerns can be escalated and investigated efficiently.

Our governance framework includes regular monitoring of supplier relationships, review of incident records, and assessment of any emerging legal or sector-specific risks. We aim to work only with partners who share our standards and who can demonstrate that workers are treated fairly and lawfully. The phrase Man With Van Brixton modern slavery statement represents a commitment to continuous improvement, not simply compliance on paper.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and business activity. During each review, we consider whether additional controls, enhanced audits, or updated training are needed. We also evaluate the effectiveness of our reporting channels and the outcomes of any investigations or supplier interventions. By revisiting these measures every year, Man With Van Brixton strengthens its ability to prevent modern slavery and uphold dignity throughout its operations and supply chain.
