Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Noakhill

Man With Van Noakhill is committed to conducting business ethically and with integrity. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including debt bondage, coercion, child labour, and deceptive recruitment practices, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any such conduct.

As a responsible removals and transport provider, Man With Van Noakhill expects the highest standards from employees, contractors, and business partners. We understand that our services may rely on goods, labour, and third-party support across multiple areas, so we work to ensure that our own practices do not contribute to harm. Our approach is guided by respect for human rights, fair treatment, and lawful employment.

This statement applies to all activities associated with Man With Van Noakhill, including hiring, procurement, vehicle maintenance, storage support, and subcontracted services. We require anyone acting on our behalf to comply with applicable labour laws and to avoid any practice that could enable exploitation. Where risks are identified, we take prompt action to investigate, remediate, and if necessary end the relationship.

We reduce risk through due diligence at the point of onboarding and throughout the business relationship. Supplier checks include verification of trading details, review of employment practices where relevant, and assessment of any higher-risk indicators such as excessive recruitment fees, withholding of documents, or unclear worker status. Supplier audits are conducted on a risk-based basis, either directly or through trusted third-party assurance, to confirm alignment with our standards.

Our procurement expectations are communicated clearly to suppliers and subcontractors. We seek written commitments that they will not use forced, trafficked, or underage labour and that they will provide safe working conditions, fair pay, and freedom of movement. If a supplier cannot demonstrate compliance, we may require corrective action, increase monitoring, suspend engagement, or terminate the arrangement. Man With Van Noakhill believes prevention is most effective when standards are explicit and consistently enforced.

Training is provided where appropriate so that staff can recognise warning signs of modern slavery, including unusual control over workers, signs of fear, restricted communication, or inconsistent pay arrangements. Managers are encouraged to remain alert during recruitment, site visits, and subcontractor reviews. This helps us maintain a culture in which ethical conduct is expected and potential issues are identified early.

We provide multiple reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Employees, workers, and business partners may report suspected breaches through internal management routes, safeguarding leads, or formal grievance procedures. Reports may be made without fear of retaliation, victimisation, or disadvantage. All concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with appropriate confidentiality.

If a concern is substantiated, Man With Van Noakhill will act decisively. This may include pausing work, separating the affected party from the risk, supporting affected individuals, notifying relevant authorities where required, and reviewing controls to prevent recurrence. We are committed to remediation that places the wellbeing of vulnerable people first and avoids repeating harmful patterns.

Our commitment to ethical business is ongoing, and we know that vigilance must be sustained. We review supplier performance, procurement decisions, and workforce practices with the aim of improving protection against exploitation. In doing so, we reinforce the message that modern slavery is unacceptable in any part of our business or supply chain.

This statement will be subject to annual review to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal requirements and operational risks. The review will consider audit outcomes, reported concerns, training needs, supplier performance, and any changes in business structure or market conditions. Where improvements are identified, we will update our controls and strengthen our prevention measures.

By maintaining a clear zero-tolerance approach, carrying out supplier audits, offering safe reporting channels, and completing an annual review, Man With Van Noakhill aims to uphold human dignity across every part of its work. We believe responsible business practice is essential to trust, reliability, and long-term integrity, and we remain committed to continuous improvement in the fight against modern slavery.
