As a provider of removal and transport services, Man With Van Harrowonthehill works with a range of suppliers, contractors, and service partners. We expect every party associated with our business to uphold the same ethical standards. Our approach is built on risk awareness, responsible procurement, and clear accountability across the business.

We do not tolerate any arrangement that involves forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, or hidden exploitation.

Zero tolerance means that breaches may result in termination of contracts, removal of suppliers, or disciplinary action where applicable.

Our supplier due diligence process is designed to reduce the risk of modern slavery entering our operations. Man With Van Harrowonthehill reviews supplier credentials, business conduct, and labour practices before engagement. We also request confirmation that suppliers comply with relevant employment laws and ethical labour standards. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to enhanced checks, including document review, contract clauses, and site-based assessments.

Supplier audits are an important part of our control framework. Man with Van Harrow on the Hill may carry out periodic audits of selected suppliers to confirm that workers are treated fairly, records are maintained accurately, and no indicators of exploitation are present. These audits may include interviews, policy reviews, and checks on recruitment practices. Where gaps are found, we require corrective action plans and follow-up reviews to verify improvements.

We also recognise that modern slavery risks can exist beyond direct suppliers, including through subcontracting and outsourced services. For that reason, we expect our partners to maintain transparency in their own supply chains and to notify us if any risk is discovered. Man With Van Harrowonthehill promotes responsible sourcing by favouring suppliers that demonstrate ethical employment practices, fair pay, and lawful working conditions.

Reporting channels are available to support early identification of concerns. Any employee, contractor, or supplier who suspects exploitation may report it through internal management routes, safeguarding procedures, or formal incident escalation processes. Reports are handled confidentially and with care, and no one should fear retaliation for raising concerns in good faith. Man with Van Harrow on the Hill encourages prompt reporting so that issues can be investigated quickly and appropriately.

Training and awareness also support our anti-slavery commitments. Staff involved in recruitment, procurement, operations, and supplier management are expected to understand the signs of modern slavery and the responsibilities that come with their roles. Our training emphasises vigilance, ethical decision-making, and the importance of challenging suspicious practices. This helps ensure that Man With Van Harrowonthehill remains alert to emerging risks and responds consistently.

Where improvements are identified, actions are incorporated into our policies and procedures. Through this yearly review, Man with Van Harrow on the Hill reinforces its long-term commitment to preventing modern slavery and protecting human dignity.
