Modern Slavery Statement for Marylebone Man And Van

Marylebone Man And Van is committed to operating responsibly, ethically, and lawfully in every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many industries and can affect workers at any level, so we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that compromises human dignity.

As a removal and transport service provider, Marylebone Man And Van relies on the integrity of employees, contractors, and suppliers. We therefore expect everyone we work with to follow the same high standards. Our approach to Marylebone Man and Van modern slavery prevention is grounded in fairness, transparency, and respect for human rights. We promote safe working conditions, lawful employment practices, and proper record-keeping across all business activities.

The company does not tolerate any form of coercion, debt bondage, child labour, or abuse of vulnerability. Any breach of this policy may result in immediate termination of a business relationship or disciplinary action where appropriate. We also expect our recruitment and staffing partners to ensure that all workers are engaged voluntarily, understand their terms of work, and are free to leave employment in accordance with the law.

To help prevent risk, Marylebone Man & Van applies due diligence when selecting suppliers and subcontractors. We assess potential partners against clear ethical criteria, including labour standards, employment verification, and compliance with applicable regulations. Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits to review working conditions, wage practices, right-to-work checks, and document retention. These reviews support our efforts to identify and address any weaknesses in the supply chain before they become serious problems.

Our audit process is proportionate to the nature of the relationship and the level of risk involved. High-risk suppliers may be reviewed more frequently, and any concerns identified during an audit must be addressed through corrective action plans. If a supplier fails to cooperate or is unable to demonstrate compliance, Marylebone Man and Van reserves the right to suspend or end the relationship.

We also recognise that prevention depends on awareness. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and subcontractor management receive guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation, such as unusual control over workers, restricted movement, excessive deductions, or poor living conditions. By encouraging vigilance, Marylebone Man And Van strengthens its ability to detect and respond to risks early.

Clear and confidential reporting channels are available so that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Any worker, supplier, or business partner who suspects modern slavery or unethical conduct is encouraged to report it promptly through internal management routes or other appropriate safeguarding procedures. Reports are treated seriously, investigated discreetly, and escalated where necessary to ensure that all concerns are addressed fairly and lawfully.

We are committed to protecting individuals who raise concerns in good faith. No one should be penalised for speaking up about possible exploitation, and every report will be handled with sensitivity. The emphasis in Marylebone Man and Van’s reporting framework is to create trust, enable action, and help maintain a safe and lawful working environment for all involved.

This statement also supports our broader commitment to continuous improvement. The management team reviews relevant policies, supplier controls, and operational practices to ensure they remain effective and proportionate. Where risks change, we adapt our procedures so that our response to modern slavery risks stays robust and practical.

We will conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our associated procedures to confirm that they remain suitable for our business and supply chain. The review will consider supplier audit findings, reported concerns, training needs, and any regulatory or operational changes that may affect our approach. Findings from the review will inform future improvements and help strengthen our prevention measures.

Marylebone Man And Van is dedicated to ensuring that ethical practice is embedded in daily operations. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, providing secure reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to play our part in preventing exploitation and supporting the wider effort to eliminate modern slavery.
