Our commitment applies to all employees, contractors, and third parties engaged in delivering services under the Man With Van Hornchurch name. We expect everyone connected to the business to uphold the highest ethical standards. This includes ensuring that recruitment is fair, working conditions are lawful, and no one is subjected to coercion, debt bondage, or deceptive arrangements.

To strengthen this commitment, Hornchurch man with van services and related suppliers are assessed against clear ethical expectations.

Supplier oversight is a key part of our risk management process. We carry out supplier audits and reviews proportionate to the nature of the relationship and the level of risk involved. These audits may include document checks, confirmation of employment practices, and verification of subcontracting arrangements. If concerns are identified, we expect prompt corrective action. Persistent non-compliance may lead to suspension or termination of the business relationship.

We also promote awareness among our staff so they can recognise warning signs of exploitation, such as restricted movement, unusual payment arrangements, or signs that workers are controlled by others. Training and internal communication help ensure that the modern slavery policy is understood and applied in day-to-day decisions. By staying alert, our team can help prevent abuse from entering our operations or supply base.

Reporting channels are available to encourage the safe and timely raising of concerns. Any employee, contractor, or associated party who suspects modern slavery, unsafe labour practices, or unethical conduct is encouraged to report it through internal reporting routes established by the business. Reports are treated seriously, investigated appropriately, and handled with discretion. No individual will be penalised for making a concern in good faith. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and responding quickly to credible allegations.

As part of our governance process, this statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, relevant, and effective.

Where improvements are needed, we update our controls, reinforce our procurement standards, and refine our training approach. This helps Hornchurch Man With Van continue building a responsible and resilient business.
