Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Botanybay

Man With Van Botanybay is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every aspect of our business, and we expect the same high standard from all partners, contractors, and suppliers. We recognise that responsible moving and transport services depend on ethical practices, fair treatment, and clear accountability.

As a provider of Man With Van Botanybay services, we understand that the risks of modern slavery can exist in transport, logistics, labour hire, and outsourced support services. To reduce these risks, we carry out due diligence when engaging suppliers and service providers. This includes reviewing ownership structures, labour practices, and compliance history before approval. We seek assurance that workers are employed voluntarily, paid fairly, and treated with respect. Where concerns arise, we require corrective action and may end commercial relationships if standards are not met.

Supplier audits are a central part of our prevention framework. Depending on the nature of the relationship, audits may involve document checks, policy reviews, and site visits where appropriate. We assess whether suppliers maintain lawful working hours, safe conditions, and proper right-to-work processes. Audits are risk-based and can be increased where the supplier profile, geography, or service type presents greater exposure. We also encourage suppliers to build their own safeguards and to maintain transparent records that support ethical employment.

Training and awareness are also important. Managers involved in procurement, operations, and contractor oversight receive guidance on identifying warning signs such as restricted movement, excessive deductions, or unexplained dependence on third parties. Man With Van Botanybay promotes a culture where concerns are taken seriously and handled promptly. We believe that prevention depends not only on written policies but on informed decision-making, active supervision, and consistent ethical behaviour across the business.

Our internal controls support these commitments. We maintain checks on onboarding, payroll compliance, and subcontractor engagement so that workers are not exposed to hidden exploitation. Any suspected breach is escalated for investigation, and where necessary we work with the supplier to address the issue immediately. If remediation is not possible, the arrangement may be suspended or terminated. This reflects our zero-tolerance stance toward modern slavery and our responsibility to protect vulnerable people.

Reporting channels are available so that employees, contractors, and suppliers can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management lines, compliance processes, or other approved whistleblowing routes. We encourage early reporting of any suspicion, however small, because timely action can prevent harm. All concerns are reviewed confidentially, documented carefully, and investigated in line with our procedures. Where appropriate, we cooperate with relevant authorities and external specialists.

We are also committed to continual improvement. The leadership team reviews the effectiveness of this statement, our supplier controls, and our training arrangements on an ongoing basis. Findings from audits, incidents, and risk assessments are used to strengthen our approach. Man With Van Botanybay recognises that ethical supply chain management is not a one-time exercise, but a continuing responsibility that must adapt to changing risks and business practices.

Annual review of this modern slavery statement ensures that it remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with our operations. At least once every year, we reassess the risks linked to our business activities and update our controls where needed. The review considers supplier performance, audit results, staff awareness, and any reported concerns. This process helps us maintain a strong and practical response to modern slavery risks.

In summary, Man With Van Botanybay is dedicated to ethical conduct, responsible sourcing, and fair working conditions. Through our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and annual review cycle, we aim to reduce the risk of exploitation and uphold human rights in every part of our business. We will continue to strengthen our safeguards and expect all those who work with us to share these values.
