Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Croftonpark

Man With A Van Croftonpark is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the principles and practical controls we apply to help prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative working conditions within our own operations and across our supply chain.

As a local moving and transport service, Man With A Van Crofton Park recognises that even businesses with a relatively small workforce can face risks when engaging subcontractors, suppliers, or third-party service providers. For that reason, we maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery and expect the same commitment from everyone acting on our behalf.

This statement applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers associated with Man With A Van Croftonpark. It reflects our ongoing responsibility to identify, prevent, and respond to risks in a practical and proportionate way.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

We do not accept any practices that involve coercion, deception, debt bondage, restricted freedom, withheld wages, document retention, or any other condition that may indicate exploitation. Our zero-tolerance position means that any credible concern will be investigated promptly and seriously. Where appropriate, we will suspend or terminate relationships with parties that fail to meet our standards.

To support this approach, Man With A Van Crofton Park embeds ethical expectations into supplier selection and onboarding. We seek assurances that labour is voluntary, workers are of legal working age, and employment terms are lawful and fair. We also encourage responsible recruitment practices that avoid charging fees to workers or creating dependency through misleading arrangements.

This commitment is reinforced through internal awareness measures so that staff understand the signs of modern slavery and know how to act if concerns arise. We believe prevention is most effective when responsibilities are clearly understood across the business.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier audits form an important part of our risk management process. Depending on the level of risk and the nature of the service, we may review documentation, request labour policy statements, and assess whether suppliers have controls in place to protect workers. These checks help us evaluate whether a supplier aligns with the ethical standards of Man With A Van Croftonpark.

Where a higher-risk relationship is identified, we may carry out enhanced due diligence, including periodic reviews of working practices, subcontracting arrangements, and compliance with applicable labour laws. If deficiencies are found, we will require corrective action within a reasonable timeframe and monitor progress closely.

We understand that audits are not merely administrative exercises. For Man With A Van Crofton Park, they are a practical safeguard that helps reduce the risk of exploitation and strengthens accountability throughout the supply chain.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

We are committed to creating a culture in which concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Any employee, contractor, or supplier representative who suspects modern slavery or unethical labour practices is expected to report it immediately through the appropriate internal route. Reports may also be made confidentially and will be handled with sensitivity and discretion.

All concerns are assessed promptly, documented carefully, and escalated where necessary. If an allegation indicates a serious risk to a person’s safety or welfare, we will act urgently and cooperate with relevant authorities or specialist organisations as needed. Man With A Van Croftonpark treats every report as important, regardless of the source or scale of the issue.

We also remind those working with us that retaliation, intimidation, or suppression of concerns is unacceptable. Protecting the right to report is central to our ethical framework and to the credibility of this statement.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with evolving legal expectations and business practices. The review considers supplier performance, reported concerns, audit outcomes, and any changes in operational risk. Where improvement is needed, we update our processes accordingly.

At Man With A Van Crofton Park, continuous improvement means learning from experience and strengthening our controls year by year. We may expand staff awareness, refine supplier checks, or improve recordkeeping to ensure our approach remains robust and proportionate.

Man With A Van Croftonpark remains firmly committed to responsible business conduct and to the prevention of modern slavery in all its forms. Through a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and an annual review cycle, we aim to uphold dignity, fairness, and accountability across everything we do.
