Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement for Man with Van Cambridge Heath

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the actions taken by Man with Van Cambridge Heath to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to conducting business in a responsible and ethical manner and to improving our practices to combat modern slavery in all its forms.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Man with Van Cambridge Heath provides local and regional transport, moving and related services. Our activities rely on a network of staff, contractors, vehicle providers, equipment suppliers and other third parties who support the safe, efficient and lawful delivery of our services. We recognise that the logistics and transport sector can be exposed to risks of labour exploitation, particularly through subcontracting and temporary labour arrangements. We therefore work actively to identify, assess and manage these risks in a structured and ongoing way.

Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

Man with Van Cambridge Heath operates a clear zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not accept, support or condone any form of forced, bonded or involuntary labour, servitude or exploitation in our business or supply chains. This expectation applies equally to our employees, contractors, agency staff and all suppliers who provide goods or services to us. Compliance with this policy is a condition of working with Man with Van Cambridge Heath, and any breach may result in termination of contracts or working arrangements, as well as reporting to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Supplier Standards and Due Diligence

We expect our suppliers to respect human rights, comply with labour laws and demonstrate active measures to prevent exploitation. As part of our supplier onboarding and renewal process, we assess the nature of the goods or services supplied, the location of operations and the structure of the workforce to identify potential modern slavery risks. We ask suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced or trafficked labour and that workers are engaged on fair and lawful terms, including the freedom to leave employment and the absence of recruitment fees charged to workers.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

To reinforce our standards, Man with Van Cambridge Heath undertakes proportionate supplier audits and monitoring activities. These may include reviewing policies and procedures, requesting documentation or declarations, and conducting site visits where risk is considered higher. We prioritise suppliers who operate in sectors or regions where modern slavery risks are more prevalent, or where there is heavy reliance on temporary or migrant labour. If concerns are identified, we will work with the supplier to agree corrective actions and timeframes. Persistent non-compliance or unwillingness to improve will lead to reconsideration or termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

We encourage all employees, contractors, suppliers and members of the public to raise any concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected with Man with Van Cambridge Heath. Concerns can be reported directly to management or through our internal reporting routes, which allow issues to be raised confidentially and without fear of victimisation. We treat all reports seriously and will investigate promptly, taking appropriate remedial and protective measures where necessary. If we identify evidence of modern slavery or human trafficking, we will take immediate action to protect affected individuals and will cooperate with law enforcement or regulatory authorities as required.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to improving awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff and key suppliers. Relevant team members receive guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation, understanding our zero-tolerance policy and knowing how to respond to concerns. We aim to embed respect for human rights and fair treatment into our everyday decision-making, working practices and supplier interactions.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by the management of Man with Van Cambridge Heath to ensure it remains accurate, effective and reflective of our current operations and risk profile. As part of the annual review, we consider any incidents, reports, audit findings and changes in legislation or industry best practice. Where opportunities for improvement are identified, we will update our processes, training and supplier requirements accordingly. By continually reviewing and strengthening our approach, we aim to reduce the risk of modern slavery and support a supply chain where dignity, fairness and lawful employment are upheld.

This statement is made on behalf of Man with Van Cambridge Heath and represents our ongoing commitment to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains.
