Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Queenspark

Man With Van Queenspark is committed to operating with integrity, respect, and accountability in every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, and any other form of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that these serious abuses can exist in many sectors, and we therefore maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of slavery and coercion.

Our approach applies to every level of the company, from management and drivers to subcontractors and suppliers. We expect all those who work with Man With Van Queenspark to uphold the same ethical standards. This includes lawful employment practices, fair wages, safe working conditions, and respectful treatment of workers. We are committed to identifying risks early and acting promptly where concerns arise.

Modern slavery can be hidden behind complex labour arrangements, especially where services depend on temporary workers, subcontracted support, or international sourcing. For that reason, our Man With Van Queenspark modern slavery statement includes a risk-based approach to prevention. We assess our business relationships, review supplier practices, and look for warning signs such as restricted freedom of movement, withheld documents, or unsafe work environments.

To reduce risk, we apply due diligence before engaging new suppliers and periodically review existing ones. Supplier onboarding includes checks on employment policies, legal compliance, and labour standards. Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits to verify that expectations are being met in practice. These audits may involve document reviews, working condition assessments, and confirmation that workers are employed voluntarily and treated fairly.

When a supplier falls short of our standards, we require corrective action within a reasonable timeframe. If concerns are serious or unresolved, we may suspend or end the relationship. This firm approach reflects our belief that ethical business cannot rely on tolerance of exploitation. We also encourage suppliers to adopt their own monitoring systems so that prevention becomes part of everyday operations rather than a one-time check.

Training is another essential part of our prevention strategy. Managers and relevant staff are briefed on the indicators of modern slavery and how to respond if they suspect abuse. This training helps ensure that the Queenspark Man With Van team can recognise issues such as intimidation, unusual control over wages, or dependency on employers for basic living needs. Awareness supports faster intervention and better protection for vulnerable individuals.

We also provide safe and accessible reporting channels so that concerns can be raised without fear. Employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders may report suspected misconduct through internal management routes, and all reports are handled confidentially wherever possible. No person will suffer retaliation for raising a genuine concern in good faith. Any allegation is taken seriously, investigated appropriately, and documented in line with our internal procedures.

Our response may include asking for further information, reviewing records, interviewing relevant parties, and escalating the matter to senior management where needed. If there is evidence of immediate risk to a person, we will act without delay and involve the appropriate authorities or specialist support organisations. This is part of our commitment to ensuring that Man With Van Queenspark does not benefit, knowingly or unknowingly, from exploitative practices.

We recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time, especially as our business grows or supply chains evolve. As a result, this statement is reviewed annually by senior leadership to evaluate its effectiveness and determine whether improvements are needed. The review considers audit results, reported concerns, training activity, supplier performance, and any changes in legal or operational risk.

Following each annual review, we update our controls, strengthen supplier oversight where required, and refresh our staff guidance to reflect current best practice. By maintaining this cycle of review and improvement, Man With Van Queenspark reinforces its zero-tolerance stance and its responsibility to protect human rights across all business activities. We remain committed to continuous vigilance, ethical conduct, and fair treatment for everyone connected to our services.
