Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Queens Park

Man And Van Queens Park is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the actions taken by Man And Van Queens Park to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, including debt bondage, coercion, and unlawful restriction of freedom, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any such practice.

As a removal and transport service provider, the company understands that our activities rely on people, equipment, and external suppliers. For that reason, our approach is built on prevention, vigilance, and accountability. We expect everyone working with Queens Park Man and Van services to uphold the same standards of dignity and lawful conduct. This statement applies to our internal workforce, temporary labour, contractors, and all third-party suppliers involved in service delivery.

We also acknowledge that the risk of exploitation may be higher in certain parts of the logistics and transport sector. Man and Van Queens Park therefore reviews labour practices, onboarding processes, and subcontracting arrangements carefully. Our commitment is not limited to policy wording; it is reflected in day-to-day decisions, supplier selection, and the way we monitor compliance. By embedding ethical expectations into our business model, we aim to protect workers and reduce risk across the whole supply chain.

All suppliers and service partners are subject to due diligence before engagement, and higher-risk relationships may be subject to more frequent supplier audits. These audits assess employment practices, record-keeping, wage arrangements, right-to-work checks, and the use of any subcontracted labour. Where appropriate, we request evidence of policies, worker induction procedures, and grievance mechanisms to ensure that standards are aligned with our own.

In addition to formal audits, Man And Van Queens Park monitors supplier performance through regular reviews and communication. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and may require corrective action plans, enhanced monitoring, or termination of the relationship where serious breaches are identified. We view supplier oversight as a practical safeguard, not a one-time exercise, because the prevention of modern slavery requires continuous attention.

Training and awareness are also central to our approach. Staff involved in hiring, operations, and procurement are encouraged to recognise warning signs such as unusual control over workers, restricted movement, withheld wages, or inconsistent employment documents. Queens Park Man and Van promotes a culture in which concerns can be raised early and handled without delay, ensuring that potential exploitation is identified before it escalates.

We provide clear reporting channels for employees, contractors, and relevant stakeholders to raise concerns about suspected slavery or exploitation. Reports may be made internally through management or designated compliance personnel, and all concerns are treated seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. The company will investigate each matter proportionately and take appropriate remedial action when required.

Any person who raises a concern in good faith will be supported, and retaliation of any kind will not be tolerated. Man And Van Queens Park expects openness across all levels of the organisation because transparency is essential for safeguarding vulnerable individuals. Where an allegation suggests criminal activity or immediate risk, the matter will be escalated through the appropriate external channels in accordance with applicable law.

To strengthen our controls, we maintain documentation of supplier assessments, training activity, and incident responses. This helps ensure that Man and Van Queens Park can demonstrate responsible governance and learn from any issues identified. Our objective is not only compliance, but the active promotion of fair working conditions and the protection of human rights in every part of our business.

This statement is subject to an annual review by management to confirm that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal requirements and operational risks. The review considers audit findings, any reported concerns, changes in supply chains, and developments in best practice. Where improvements are needed, we will update our controls and strengthen our safeguards accordingly.

We are committed to continuous improvement and to ensuring that our processes remain proportionate to the nature and scale of our services. Queens Park Man and Van will continue to reinforce its zero-tolerance stance, expand supplier oversight where necessary, and promote understanding of modern slavery risks throughout the organisation. Ethical business conduct is a shared responsibility, and leadership must set the standard.

In summary, Man And Van Queens Park stands firmly against modern slavery in all its forms. Through a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and an annual review process, we aim to protect workers, uphold legal and moral obligations, and maintain a trustworthy and responsible service for all stakeholders.
