Modern Slavery Statement for Brent Man with Van
Brent Man with Van confirms its unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across all operations. This statement sets out the steps taken by the company — also referenced as Brent man and van and Brent removal service — to ensure that every worker engaged directly or indirectly is treated fairly and legally. Our policy applies to all employees, contractors, suppliers and partners associated with the man with van Brent operations.
We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking. All staff are informed that any breach of this policy will result in immediate investigation and, where substantiated, appropriate disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. The company maintains clear contractual terms requiring compliance with labour standards from every supplier and sub-contractor we engage.
The Board and senior management of Brent man with van lead on compliance and ethical procurement. We undertake due diligence when engaging new suppliers and maintain screening processes to identify risk areas, with particular attention to recruitment practices, wage payments and working hours. Our procurement standards require suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded or trafficked labour and that workers have freedom of movement and legal working documentation.
Supplier Audits, Monitoring and Standards
We carry out regular supplier audits and monitoring activity to verify compliance with anti-slavery requirements. Audit approaches include remote assessments, documentation review and, where necessary, on-site inspections conducted by trained auditors. The aim is to ensure transparency and to encourage corrective action where deficiencies are found. If issues are identified we require a remediation plan with clear timelines.
Our supplier audit framework assesses multiple areas including recruitment and employment practices, supply chain traceability, payroll integrity and sub-contracting arrangements. Audits use objective criteria and scoring to prioritise higher-risk suppliers for more frequent reviews. We require corrective action and reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers who fail to demonstrate timely improvement.
Key elements of our audit and monitoring programme include:
- Verification of worker identity and lawful right to work
- Review of recruitment fees and third-party labour providers
- Evidence of wage payments and working hour records
- Assessment of sub-contracting and supply chain transparency
Reporting Channels and Staff Training
Brent man and van provides secure and confidential reporting channels for employees and third parties to raise concerns about potential slavery or exploitation. Reports can be made anonymously through internal whistleblowing routes and are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled with appropriate confidentiality. We operate strict non-retaliation protections for bona fide reporters.
We invest in ongoing training for our staff and management to recognise signs of modern slavery, understand ethical supplier engagement and apply the company’s zero tolerance approach. Training includes scenario-based learning, awareness sessions and clear guidance on reporting and escalation pathways for suspected instances.
Our annual review cycle evaluates the effectiveness of anti-slavery measures, supplier audit outcomes and training uptake. The review includes performance metrics, risk assessments and updates to policies and contractual terms. Following the review, the Board signs off any changes and ensures resources are allocated to address emerging risks.
In summary, Brent Man with Van maintains a proactive stance against modern slavery through a zero-tolerance policy, risk-based supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a formal annual review process. We continually strengthen our procedures and collaborate with partners to uphold high ethical standards across the Brent man with van and Brent removal service sectors.
