Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Longlands

Man With Van Longlands is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms and across many sectors, and we take a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that exploits individuals or restricts their freedom.

As a responsible Longlands man and van service, we expect the same standards from all employees, contractors, and business partners. Our commitment is grounded in legal compliance, ethical conduct, and ongoing vigilance. We review our internal processes to ensure that recruitment, onboarding, and day-to-day working practices are fair, lawful, and free from coercion. In this way, the Man With Van Longlands modern slavery approach supports a respectful workplace and responsible service delivery.

We also maintain clear expectations for our supply chain. Any Man With Van Longlands supplier must operate in accordance with applicable labour laws and uphold safe, fair, and humane working conditions. Where appropriate, we reserve the right to request documentation, conduct due diligence, and assess risk indicators that may point to exploitation. This helps us identify and address concerns early, before harm can occur.

Our supplier audits form an important part of this prevention strategy. Depending on the nature of the relationship, audits may include reviewing labour practices, examining subcontracting arrangements, and checking that workers are paid lawfully and treated with dignity. If a risk is identified, we expect prompt corrective action. Where a supplier fails to meet our standards, we may suspend or end the relationship. This is central to our zero-tolerance stance and reinforces accountability across the Longlands removal and transport network.

Training and awareness are equally important. We ensure that relevant staff understand the warning signs of exploitation, including unusual recruitment fees, restricted movement, withheld documents, or signs of intimidation. By improving awareness within the Man With Van Longlands team, we strengthen our ability to respond quickly and appropriately. Our procedures are designed to ensure that concerns are escalated without delay and handled sensitively.

We provide multiple reporting channels so that concerns about suspected modern slavery can be raised safely and in good faith. Reports may be made through management, designated compliance leads, or other internal safeguarding routes, depending on the issue and the person raising it. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and protected from retaliation. We encourage anyone associated with Man With Van Longlands services to speak up if something seems wrong.

Where a concern is raised, we assess the facts carefully and take appropriate action. This may include immediate safeguarding measures, further investigation, and engagement with the relevant supplier or partner. We cooperate with external authorities where necessary and ensure that any potential victim is treated with dignity and supported in line with legal and ethical obligations. Our approach reflects the belief that responsible Longlands moving services must never contribute to exploitation.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm its continued suitability and to identify areas for improvement. The annual review considers changes in legislation, operational risk, supplier performance, and the effectiveness of our controls. We update our policies and procedures when needed so that the Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Longlands remains practical, relevant, and robust.

Man With Van Longlands remains firmly committed to preventing modern slavery in every part of its business. Through a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to uphold the highest ethical standards.
