Man With Van Earls Court is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and child labour, can occur in many sectors and supply chains. As a responsible moving and transport service, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of exploitation in our operations and business relationships.

Our Commitment to Ethical Practice

We believe that every person involved in our business should be treated fairly and lawfully. This commitment applies to employees, temporary workers, contractors, and suppliers. The Man With Van Earls Court modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to identify risks, prevent abuse, and act decisively when concerns arise. We do not knowingly engage with any party involved in unlawful labour practices, and we expect the same standard from those who work with us.

As part of our due diligence, we review the nature of our supply chain and the services we procure. This includes vehicle maintenance providers, equipment suppliers, storage partners, and any third-party service providers that support Man With Van Earls Court. We prioritise relationships with organisations that share our values and can demonstrate compliance with labour laws, fair recruitment standards, and safe working conditions.

Supplier Audits and Risk Monitoring

To help identify risks, we carry out supplier audits and periodic assessments based on the level of exposure and the type of service provided. These checks may include document reviews, policy verification, and confirmation of worker rights and wage practices. Where concerns are identified, we request corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if the issue is not resolved. Our modern slavery approach is designed to be practical, proportionate, and effective.

We also train relevant staff to recognise signs of exploitation, such as restricted movement, withheld payments, unusual recruitment fees, or lack of personal freedom. This awareness helps strengthen the safeguarding culture within Man With Van Earls Court and supports early intervention when risks appear. In addition, we encourage open communication across our teams so that concerns can be raised quickly and handled responsibly.

Reporting channels are an essential part of this framework. Any worker, contractor, or supplier who suspects unethical conduct can raise a concern through internal reporting routes managed by senior staff. Reports are handled confidentially and reviewed promptly. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith, and we take every allegation seriously, regardless of seniority or business relationship.

Investigation and Remediation

When a concern is raised, we assess the facts, protect those affected where possible, and determine the appropriate response. This may include further investigation, engagement with the supplier, or referral to relevant authorities. If modern slavery is confirmed or strongly suspected, Man With Van Earls Court will act swiftly to remove the risk and support any necessary remediation. Our objective is not only compliance, but also meaningful prevention.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and operational risks. The annual review includes consideration of audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any changes in our business model or procurement practices. Where needed, we update our controls, training, and oversight measures to strengthen our response.

Ongoing Responsibility

Modern slavery is a serious crime, and we are determined to play our part in preventing it. Through supplier audits, clear reporting channels, strong oversight, and an annual review process, Man With Van Earls Court continues to uphold a responsible and ethical standard in all aspects of its work. We will maintain vigilance, improve our practices, and support a fairer supply chain for everyone involved.
