Modern Slavery Statement for Harringay Man And Van

Harringay Man And Van is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. 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 chain. We recognise that risks can exist in many sectors, including transport, logistics, warehouse support, and subcontracted services, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that undermines dignity or freedom.

Our commitment applies to every part of our business, including recruitment, vehicle operations, administrative support, and the selection of suppliers. We expect all workers, contractors, and business partners to act with integrity and to comply with applicable labour laws. As a responsible man and van service, we believe that prevention, awareness, and accountability are essential in safeguarding people from abuse and exploitation.

Harringay Man & Van does not tolerate modern slavery in any form. This principle is embedded in our internal policies and communicated to staff at induction and during ongoing training. We prohibit the use of child labour, bonded labour, and any arrangement where an individual is coerced, threatened, deceived, or controlled for someone else’s benefit. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of employment or business relationships.

We apply a risk-based approach to supplier management. Before engaging with suppliers, we assess their labour practices, ownership structures, and compliance history where relevant. Supplier audits are carried out proportionately according to the level of risk involved, and we reserve the right to request supporting documentation, interview personnel, and review subcontracting arrangements. These checks help us identify warning signs such as unusual wage deductions, restricted freedom of movement, or poor working conditions.

Where concerns are identified, we seek immediate corrective action and monitor progress closely. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable standards, we may suspend or end the relationship. This process is designed to promote improvement while protecting vulnerable workers. Our aim is to ensure that every part of the Harringay man and van supply chain reflects the same ethical standards that guide our own operations.

We also promote awareness among employees and contractors so that they can recognise the indicators of exploitation. Warning signs may include inability to speak freely, inconsistent pay arrangements, lack of personal documents, excessive working hours, or signs of intimidation. By encouraging vigilance, the Harringay Man And Van statement strengthens our ability to detect and respond to risk early.

We maintain clear and accessible reporting channels so that concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes, and every concern is handled confidentially where possible. We encourage prompt reporting of any suspected issue, whether it relates to our workforce, a supplier, or a subcontracted service. All reports are reviewed seriously, documented, and investigated proportionately.

Where a concern is substantiated, we will take appropriate action, which may include remediation, supplier disengagement, or reporting to the relevant authorities. We are committed to supporting anyone affected and to cooperating fully with lawful investigations. This approach reflects our belief that a strong anti-slavery culture depends on transparency, responsibility, and decisive intervention.

In addition to audits and reporting mechanisms, we review our recruitment and procurement practices to ensure they do not create opportunities for exploitation. We avoid practices that could lead to hidden labour risks, including unclear subcontracting, unrealistic pricing that pressures labour standards, or poor oversight of temporary labour. The Harringay Man And Van modern slavery statement is therefore an active framework, not a static document.

We will conduct an annual review of this statement, our risk assessment approach, and the effectiveness of our controls. The review will consider changes in legislation, industry practice, supplier performance, internal reporting, and any incidents or lessons learned during the year. Where improvements are needed, we will update our policies, training, and supplier requirements accordingly.

Harringay Man And Van remains committed to continuous improvement and to operating in a way that protects human rights at every stage of service delivery. Through a zero-tolerance policy, proportionate supplier audits, secure reporting channels, and yearly review, we aim to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct. This modern slavery statement underlines our determination to prevent exploitation and to act responsibly in all areas of our business.
