Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Kenley
Man With Van Kenley is committed to conducting business in an ethical, lawful, and responsible manner. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Man With Van Kenley to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and wider supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect any sector, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation.
Our business values are rooted in respect, fairness, and accountability. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to act with integrity and to support our commitment to human rights. As part of this commitment, Man With Van Kenley undertakes due diligence when working with suppliers and service providers, particularly where there is any risk of labour abuse, unfair recruitment, or hidden subcontracting.
We will not knowingly engage with any organisation that profits from coercion, deception, debt bondage, or restricted freedom of movement. The Man With Van Kenley modern slavery approach applies across recruitment, procurement, and supplier management. If risks are identified, we take prompt action to investigate, escalate, and where necessary terminate the business relationship.
Our supplier standards require every partner to comply with relevant employment, health and safety, and anti-trafficking laws. We use supplier audits to assess compliance, review working conditions, and identify signs of vulnerability in labour practices. These audits may include document checks, process reviews, and confirmation that workers are employed voluntarily and receive fair treatment.
Where appropriate, suppliers are asked to confirm that they have their own anti-slavery controls in place. This includes recruitment checks, verification of workers’ age and identity, and controls over subcontractors. If a supplier is unable to meet our standards, we will work with them to improve; however, repeated failure or serious concerns may lead to suspension or removal from our supply chain.
Training and awareness are important elements of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in hiring, procurement, and supplier oversight are encouraged to understand indicators of abuse, such as withheld documents, unusual payment arrangements, or signs that a worker is under pressure.
By promoting vigilance, Man With Van Kenley aims to reduce the risk that exploitation could go unnoticed.
We also provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Any employee, supplier, or other stakeholder who suspects unethical conduct may report it through internal management routes. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion to protect the people involved.
We encourage early reporting, as this allows potential issues to be addressed before they escalate. Concerns may relate to recruitment fees, intimidation, poor accommodation, excessive working hours, or any other sign of modern slavery. Man With Van Kenley will investigate all credible concerns and take appropriate action, including corrective measures, supplier review, or engagement with relevant authorities where necessary.
The effectiveness of this policy is monitored through ongoing review of supplier performance, internal compliance checks, and management oversight.
We are committed to learning from incidents and improving our procedures where weaknesses are identified. This helps ensure that our anti-slavery controls remain practical, proportionate, and aligned with current risks.
Our statement is reviewed annually to confirm its ongoing relevance and to reflect any changes in law, business activity, or supply chain risk. The annual review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any improvements needed to strengthen our controls. Man With Van Kenley treats this review as a key governance responsibility rather than a formality.
Through regular evaluation, we aim to maintain a transparent and resilient approach to ethical business.
We will continue to uphold our zero-tolerance stance, strengthen supplier audits, improve reporting channels, and update our controls each year so that modern slavery has no place in our operations or supply chain.
