Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Harrow

Man With Van Harrow is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative practices within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that even low-risk service businesses must remain vigilant, and we apply a zero-tolerance policy to any form of slavery or coercion.

Our approach is grounded in ethical recruitment, lawful working conditions, and responsible partnerships. We expect everyone connected with Man With Van Harrow to uphold the same values. This includes employees, contractors, suppliers, and any third parties who support our work. We believe prevention starts with awareness, accountability, and clear standards that are consistently enforced across the organisation.

Supplier due diligence is a key element of our framework. We assess suppliers before engagement and continue to monitor them throughout the relationship to ensure their practices remain aligned with our principles.

Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits and request evidence of compliance relating to labour standards, worker pay, hours, identity verification, and recruitment practices. If risks are identified, we seek corrective action promptly. Persistent non-compliance may lead to suspension or termination of the relationship. We also encourage suppliers to maintain transparent records and to communicate any concerns about labour exploitation within their own operations.

In our Man and Van Harrow operations, we minimise risk by verifying the right to work, maintaining clear employment records, and ensuring workers are treated fairly. Training is provided to relevant staff so they can recognise warning signs such as withheld documents, unusual control over wages, excessive working hours, or signs of fear and dependency. This helps strengthen our ability to identify and respond to concerns early.

We take a proactive approach to risk management by reviewing working arrangements, subcontracted services, and procurement decisions. The modern slavery risks in our sector may arise through cleaning, maintenance, logistics support, or labour supply chains. Therefore, our Man With Van Harrow service applies the same ethical expectations to all business relationships, regardless of size or duration.

Reporting concerns is essential to our safeguarding culture. We provide internal reporting channels so staff and associates can raise suspicions of abuse, exploitation, or unethical conduct without fear of retaliation. Reports are treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly. Where necessary, concerns are escalated to the appropriate internal decision-makers and, if required, to relevant external authorities.

We encourage a workplace where individuals feel safe to speak up. All reports are considered confidential to the extent possible, and no person will suffer detriment for raising a genuine concern. This commitment supports trust across the business and reinforces our zero-tolerance stance. In addition, any finding of non-compliance may trigger remedial measures, further monitoring, or contractual action depending on the severity of the issue.

Our governance arrangements ensure that responsibilities for modern slavery prevention are understood at every level. Senior oversight is maintained so that ethical performance remains part of our business decision-making. We continue to improve controls as our operations evolve, and we expect all partners associated with Harrow Man and Van activity to demonstrate the same commitment.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm its continued suitability and to reflect any changes in legislation, risk exposure, or business practice. The annual review also considers lessons learned from supplier audits, staff training, and any reported concerns. Where improvements are needed, we update our procedures and strengthen monitoring accordingly.

The modern slavery statement for Man With Van Harrow represents our ongoing promise to act responsibly and with respect for human dignity. By combining due diligence, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and regular review, we aim to reduce risk and uphold ethical standards throughout our work. We remain committed to continuous improvement and to maintaining a business culture that does not tolerate exploitation in any form.
