Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps taken by Man With a Van Ravenscourt Park to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to act ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and to implement effective controls that safeguard people from exploitation.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Approach

Man With a Van Ravenscourt Park maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This includes forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, servitude, and any form of exploitation that deprives individuals of their freedom, dignity, or fair remuneration. We expect the same high standards from everyone we work with, including employees, subcontractors, and suppliers.

We are committed to ensuring that no part of our business or supply chain is involved in modern slavery. Where any concerns are raised or risks are identified, we will act promptly, investigate thoroughly, and take decisive corrective action, including ending business relationships where necessary.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Man With a Van Ravenscourt Park provides local moving, transportation, and related services. Our supply chains include vehicle and equipment hire, fuel and consumables, storage facilities, and various professional and maintenance services. While our operations are relatively small and local, we recognise that risks can exist at any level of the supply chain, including indirect or upstream suppliers.

We seek to work only with reputable partners that operate in line with applicable employment, labour, and human rights legislation. We aim to build long-term relationships based on transparency, ethical conduct, and mutual accountability.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We are developing and maintaining due diligence procedures to identify, assess, and mitigate the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains. These procedures include reviewing supplier practices, requesting information on labour standards, and assessing the geographical and sector-based risk associated with each supplier.

Where we identify higher-risk suppliers or sectors, we may carry out targeted audits or assessments. These may involve requesting evidence of compliance with labour laws, written policies on modern slavery, and details of how suppliers monitor their own supply chains. If non-compliance or serious concerns are identified, we will work with the supplier on an improvement plan or, where appropriate, terminate the relationship.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery among our management, staff, and key contractors. Training and guidance focus on recognising indicators of exploitation, understanding reporting processes, and promoting ethical conduct in all commercial decisions. This awareness aims to ensure that everyone understands their role in preventing modern slavery and feels empowered to speak up.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Man With a Van Ravenscourt Park encourages anyone with concerns about possible modern slavery within our operations or supply chains to report them without delay. Concerns may be raised by employees, contractors, suppliers, or members of the public. Reports can be made to line managers or senior management, and can be raised confidentially where requested.

No person will suffer any form of retaliation for raising a concern in good faith. All reports will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and addressed through appropriate actions, which may include engagement with suppliers, corrective action, or reporting to relevant authorities where required.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

We are committed to the continuous improvement of our approach to preventing modern slavery. To support this, we will review this statement and our related measures at least once every year, or more frequently if there are significant changes to our business, supply chains, or relevant legislation.

The annual review will consider feedback from staff, audit outcomes, incident reports, and developments in best practice. Where improvements are identified, we will update our policies, procedures, and training to strengthen our safeguards against modern slavery and human trafficking.

Approval of This Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement has been prepared on behalf of Man With a Van Ravenscourt Park. It reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical conduct, respect for human rights, and the prevention of modern slavery in all areas of our business and supply chains.
