Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement for Man with Van Wembley Park

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Man with Van Wembley Park takes to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Man with Van Wembley Park operates on a clear zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in any form. This applies to all aspects of our business, including our own workforce, agency staff, contractors, and every tier of our supply chain. We will not knowingly work with any individual, organisation, or supplier that does not share and uphold this commitment.

All employees, from management to front-line staff, are expected to act in accordance with this policy. Any behaviour or business practice that is inconsistent with our zero-tolerance stance will be treated as a serious breach of company policy and may result in disciplinary action or termination of contracts.

Our Operations and Supply Chains

Man with Van Wembley Park provides moving, transport, and related services. Our supply chains include vehicle providers, fuel and equipment suppliers, storage partners, uniform and safety equipment providers, and other service-based contractors. We recognise that certain sectors and regions may present a higher risk of labour exploitation, and we assess our relationships with this understanding in mind.

We expect all suppliers and contractors to comply with applicable labour, human rights, and employment laws and to operate in a manner that respects the dignity and rights of workers. We communicate these expectations during procurement and supplier onboarding processes.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We are committed to continually improving our due diligence processes to identify, assess, and address the risks of modern slavery in our supply chains. Where proportionate and appropriate, we conduct supplier audits or request evidence of suppliers own anti-slavery measures. This may include written confirmations of compliance, policies on modern slavery, and details of workforce practices.

If we identify concerns or potential red flags, we will investigate and seek clarification from the supplier. Where issues cannot be resolved to our satisfaction, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the business relationship. Our aim is not only to protect our business and workers but also to use our influence to encourage higher standards across our supply chains.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Man with Van Wembley Park encourages a culture of openness and accountability. We expect all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or human trafficking at the earliest opportunity.

Concerns can be raised with line managers, senior management, or through any existing internal reporting or grievance mechanisms. Reports can be made confidentially and will be taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled sensitively. We do not tolerate any form of retaliation against individuals who make disclosures in good faith, even if those concerns are later found to be unsubstantiated.

Training and Awareness

We are working to improve awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff and key suppliers. Where relevant, employees are provided with guidance on identifying signs of exploitation, such as unusual working conditions, restriction of movement, retention of identity documents, or signs of coercion.

By raising awareness, we aim to ensure that all those representing Man with Van Wembley Park understand their role in preventing and reporting modern slavery within our operations and supply chains.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery and human trafficking rests with the companys senior management. They are tasked with reviewing our policies, assessing risk, and ensuring that appropriate controls and training are in place.

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least once every year, or more frequently if required by changes in legislation, business operations, or risk assessments. During each review we will evaluate the effectiveness of our actions, consider feedback from staff and suppliers, and identify opportunities for improvement.

By publishing this statement, Man with Van Wembley Park affirms its ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking and to maintaining ethical, transparent, and responsible business practices.
