Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement for Man with Van Grange Park

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the approach of Man with Van Grange Park to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We are committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly, and to respecting the rights and dignity of all people who work with or for us.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Man with Van Grange Park provides local and regional transport, removals, and related logistics services. Our operations are supported by a network of suppliers, including vehicle providers, fuel and equipment suppliers, subcontracted drivers, and service providers such as storage facilities and cleaning contractors. We recognise that some sectors and geographical areas may present a higher risk of labour exploitation, and we are committed to identifying and addressing these risks.

Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

We have a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking, child labour that does not comply with local laws, and any exploitation that undermines an individual’s freedom or dignity. This applies to our own operations, our employees, contractors, and every organisation that forms part of our supply chain.

All staff and contractors engaged by Man with Van Grange Park are expected to act with integrity and in line with this policy. We will not knowingly work with any supplier or partner who fails to uphold these standards, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships where modern slavery risks are identified and not promptly and effectively remedied.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We are progressively strengthening our due diligence processes to assess and manage modern slavery risks in our supply chain. New suppliers are required to confirm that they comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws, and that they do not use any form of forced or trafficked labour. Where appropriate, we ask suppliers to provide details of their own policies and controls relating to modern slavery.

We conduct periodic checks and audits, which may include reviewing documentation, requesting evidence of right-to-work checks, and, where proportionate, visiting supplier premises. Our aim is to verify that workers are employed voluntarily, are paid fairly according to local law, and work in safe and respectful conditions. If issues are identified, we work with suppliers to implement corrective action plans, but we will discontinue relationships if serious breaches are not addressed.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff, particularly those involved in procurement, subcontractor management, and operational oversight. Training and guidance are provided so that team members can recognise the signs of exploitation, understand our policy obligations, and respond appropriately to concerns.

We encourage a culture where ethical behaviour is valued and where individuals feel confident to question practices that appear unfair or exploitative. Management is responsible for reinforcing this culture and for ensuring that modern slavery considerations are factored into business decisions.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Man with Van Grange Park encourages all employees, contractors, suppliers, and customers to report any concerns about modern slavery, human trafficking, or unethical labour practices connected with our business or supply chain. Concerns can be raised directly with management or through established internal reporting channels. Reports can be made in good faith without fear of retaliation or adverse treatment.

All allegations or suspicions of modern slavery are treated seriously and investigated promptly. Where necessary, we will cooperate with relevant authorities to support investigations and take appropriate remedial actions, including terminating relationships with parties involved in exploitation.

Monitoring, Accountability, and Annual Review

We are committed to continuous improvement in our approach to combating modern slavery. Responsibility for overseeing this area rests with senior management, who ensure that appropriate systems and controls are in place and remain effective. We periodically assess the effectiveness of our measures, including supplier due diligence, audits, training, and reporting mechanisms.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every year to reflect changes in our business, legal obligations, and best practice standards. Any significant developments, such as entering higher-risk markets or changing our supplier profile, will prompt an earlier review where required. Updated versions of this statement are approved by management and communicated internally and externally as appropriate.

By publishing this Modern Slavery Statement, Man with Van Grange Park reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking and to promoting fair, safe, and respectful working conditions throughout our operations and supply chains.
