Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Cubitttown

Man With Van Cubitttown is committed to conducting business responsibly, ethically, and in a manner that respects human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by Man With Van Cubitttown to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation, and we expect the same standard from every supplier, contractor, and business partner.

Our commitment applies across all areas of activity, including recruitment, procurement, subcontracting, and service delivery. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms and may be hidden within complex supply networks. For that reason, our approach is based on prevention, detection, and continuous improvement. We are dedicated to ensuring that the way Man With Van Cubitttown operates reflects our values of fairness, accountability, and respect.

To support this commitment, we require our teams and partners to follow clear ethical standards. These standards are embedded in supplier expectations, internal decision-making, and operational checks. Any indication of abuse, coercion, debt bondage, or unlawful labour practice is treated seriously and investigated promptly. We do not accept ignorance as an excuse where proper due diligence should have been carried out.

Our Policies and Due Diligence

As part of our anti-slavery framework, Man With Van Cubitttown applies risk-based due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This includes assessing labour practices, reviewing business ownership where appropriate, and checking for indicators of high-risk conduct. Supplier onboarding may involve documented declarations confirming compliance with labour laws and ethical employment requirements.

We also carry out supplier audits where needed, especially for higher-risk arrangements or new commercial relationships. These audits may include reviewing employment records, working hours, wage practices, subcontracting controls, and evidence of worker rights protections. If a concern is identified, we expect immediate corrective action. Continued non-compliance may lead to suspension or termination of the relationship.

Our internal controls are designed to help prevent exploitation in everyday operations. Managers are expected to remain alert to warning signs such as unusual payment arrangements, restricted movement, withholding of documents, or workers appearing fearful or unable to speak freely. These indicators may suggest a breach of our modern slavery standards and will be escalated without delay.

Reporting and Escalation

We encourage all workers, suppliers, and third parties to raise concerns if they suspect abuse or unethical conduct. Reporting channels are available through internal management routes and designated safeguarding procedures, ensuring concerns can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made anonymously where permitted, and all disclosures are handled sensitively.

Any report relating to modern slavery is investigated promptly and thoroughly. Where necessary, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and take immediate steps to protect potentially affected individuals. Our response may include suspension of transactions, additional audits, contract review, or remediation measures. We believe that early reporting is essential to safeguarding vulnerable people and maintaining trust in our operations.

Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current law and best practice. The review considers audit findings, supplier performance, incident reports, changes in risk exposure, and lessons learned from previous assessments. When improvements are identified, we update our controls, training, and contractual requirements accordingly.

Man With Van Cubitttown will continue to strengthen its approach through training, clearer oversight, and ongoing vigilance. We recognise that preventing modern slavery is not a one-time task but a continuous responsibility. By maintaining a zero-tolerance stance, conducting supplier audits, supporting accessible reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct across our business.
