Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van The Hyde

Man With Van The Hyde is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the moving and transport sector can involve multiple parties, and we are determined to maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation.

Our commitment applies to every level of the business, from management to temporary workers and external suppliers. We expect all individuals acting on behalf of Man With Van The Hyde to uphold lawful and ethical working practices. Where concerns arise, they are treated seriously and investigated promptly. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation that fails to meet our standards on modern slavery compliance or responsible employment practices.

To reduce risk, we conduct supplier audits and due diligence checks proportionate to the nature of the relationship. These reviews help us assess labour practices, wage arrangements, subcontracting controls, and the presence of any indicators of exploitation. Suppliers are expected to confirm that they do not use unlawful labour, misrepresent working conditions, or restrict workers’ freedom. Where improvements are required, we request corrective action and monitor progress.

We also work to strengthen awareness across our team through internal policies, training, and clear procedures. Managers are encouraged to identify warning signs such as withheld documents, excessive working hours, dependency on accommodation controlled by an employer, or reluctance by workers to speak freely. By promoting vigilance, Man With Van The Hyde helps ensure that any potential abuse is recognised early and addressed responsibly.

Reporting concerns is an essential part of this statement. We provide reporting channels that allow workers, contractors, and suppliers to raise issues in confidence and without fear of retaliation. All reports are handled discreetly, and those raising concerns are protected from victimisation where possible under applicable law. Every allegation related to forced labour or trafficking is reviewed carefully, documented appropriately, and escalated when needed.

In cases where a supplier or partner is found to fall short of our standards, we may require immediate remedial action, suspend the relationship, or terminate it if the breach is serious or repeated. This approach supports our modern slavery prevention framework and reinforces the expectation that ethical conduct is a condition of doing business with us.

We also maintain oversight of our procedures through an annual review. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our controls, update our risk indicators, and consider whether additional training, audits, or policy changes are needed. This review is led by management and may reflect changes in legislation, industry practice, or the structure of our supply chain. The aim is continuous improvement and stronger protection against exploitation.

The results of the annual review help shape future actions and ensure that our Man With Van The Hyde modern slavery statement remains relevant and robust. We view this as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time declaration. By combining supplier scrutiny, ethical expectations, and transparent reporting, we aim to support safe, lawful, and fair working arrangements across all business activities.

Man With Van The Hyde stands firmly against modern slavery in all its forms. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process, we are committed to operating with accountability and respect for human dignity. We will continue to strengthen our safeguards and uphold the principles of responsible business conduct in every area of our work.
