Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Queenspark
Man With A Van Queenspark is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation, and we expect the same standard from all suppliers, contractors, and partners.
Modern slavery can appear in many forms, including debt bondage, coercion, withholding of documents, and unsafe or abusive working conditions. At Man With A Van Queenspark, we recognise that transport, removals, and logistics services can involve complex subcontracting and external labour arrangements. For that reason, we apply due diligence across our business relationships and review risks regularly to ensure our practices remain robust and lawful.
We are committed to identifying, preventing, and responding to risks through clear internal controls and responsible procurement. Our approach is designed to support fair treatment, transparent employment practices, and accountability at every level. This statement applies to our own workforce as well as the extended network of suppliers and service providers connected to Queenspark man with a van services.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
Our zero-tolerance policy means that we do not accept any form of slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking. No individual should be made to work through threat, deception, intimidation, or the withholding of earnings, identity documents, or freedom of movement. Any allegation or concern is treated seriously and investigated promptly. Where a breach is confirmed, we will take appropriate action, which may include ending a contract, reporting to relevant authorities, or both.
To support this policy, we promote fair hiring standards, lawful working hours, and safe working environments. We also expect managers and supervisors to remain alert to warning signs such as unexplained debt, restricted communication, signs of control by another person, or poor living and working conditions. Through training and internal awareness, we aim to strengthen understanding of what modern slavery looks like and how it may be prevented.
We embed these expectations into our operational culture by making ethical conduct part of everyday decision-making. Man With A Van Queenspark requires that all workers be treated with dignity and that no one is placed in a position where exploitation can occur unnoticed. This commitment is not limited to direct employees; it extends to anyone acting on our behalf.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
Supplier selection and monitoring are key parts of our modern slavery risk management. We assess suppliers before engagement and review them periodically through supplier audits, documentation checks, and risk-based evaluations. These reviews consider employment practices, subcontracting arrangements, worker protections, and the supplier’s own anti-slavery controls.
Where appropriate, suppliers are asked to confirm that they comply with all relevant labour laws and that they do not use forced, trafficked, or underage labour. We also expect them to maintain accurate records, permit reasonable audits, and cooperate fully if concerns arise. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable standards, we may suspend work while issues are addressed or discontinue the relationship entirely.
Our due diligence is proportionate to the risk involved. Higher-risk relationships receive closer scrutiny, especially where labour is outsourced or where work may involve vulnerable workers. By applying these checks, Man With A Van Queenspark aims to strengthen supply chain integrity and reduce the likelihood of exploitation.
Reporting Channels, Investigation, and Review
We encourage employees, contractors, and suppliers to report concerns without delay if they suspect modern slavery or unethical treatment. Reports may be made through internal management channels or other agreed reporting routes, and all concerns are handled confidentially and sensitively. No retaliation will be tolerated against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.
Once a report is received, we will investigate promptly and take appropriate remedial action. This may include reviewing records, speaking to relevant parties, and escalating concerns where required. We aim to respond in a way that protects potential victims and supports lawful, ethical resolution.
Our statement and controls are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and aligned with current legal and operational requirements. The annual review considers changes in legislation, business activity, supplier risk, and any incidents or lessons learned. Through continuous improvement, Queenspark man with a van services will keep modern slavery prevention as a core business responsibility.
