Modern Slavery Statement for Man And Van Ravenscourtpark
Man And Van Ravenscourtpark is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and responsibility. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that the risk can exist in many industries, including transport, logistics, cleaning, maintenance, and procurement, and we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to such conduct.
Our Commitment and Policy
As a responsible man and van service in Ravenscourt Park, we expect the highest ethical standards from everyone working with or for us. Our policy prohibits any form of slavery, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, or coercion. All staff and contractors are expected to act in line with this commitment and to report concerns immediately if they suspect wrongdoing. We believe prevention begins with awareness, accountability, and consistent oversight.
We also ensure that employment practices are fair and lawful. Recruitment must be voluntary, identity documents must be handled appropriately, and workers must receive clear information about their roles and terms. Ravenscourtpark man and van operations depend on reliable people, and we will not allow any practice that abuses vulnerability, withholds pay, or restricts freedom of movement.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
Our suppliers and partners are expected to meet the same ethical standards. Before engagement, we assess each supplier’s labour practices, reputation, and compliance history. Where appropriate, we require written confirmation that they comply with anti-slavery laws and maintain suitable safeguards. Supplier audits may include document reviews, workforce checks, and spot assessments of working conditions.
If a supplier is identified as presenting a higher risk, we apply enhanced monitoring and may request corrective action plans. We reserve the right to suspend or end a relationship if concerns are not resolved. This applies equally to any Man And Van Ravenscourtpark subcontractor, temporary labour provider, or logistics partner engaged in support of our services. Ethical sourcing is not optional; it is a core requirement.
Training, Awareness, and Accountability
Staff involved in hiring, procurement, and day-to-day operations receive guidance on how to identify warning signs of exploitation, such as inconsistent records, signs of coercion, or unusual control over a worker’s pay and movement. We encourage a culture where questions can be raised without fear. Managers are responsible for ensuring compliance, recording concerns, and escalating issues promptly.
To support transparency, we provide multiple reporting channels for anyone who wishes to raise a concern about modern slavery or unethical conduct. Reports may be made internally through management, through designated safeguarding leads, or via confidential written submission. All concerns are taken seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated appropriately. Retaliation against anyone raising a genuine concern is strictly forbidden.
Where a risk or breach is identified, we act swiftly to protect affected individuals, preserve evidence, and review the relationship or process involved. Our response may include additional audits, supplier remediation, enhanced training, or contract termination. The aim is not only compliance, but meaningful prevention across the full service chain of Man And Van Ravenscourtpark.
This statement reflects our current approach and will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with evolving legal and ethical standards. Each review considers changes in our operations, supplier base, and risk profile. Through continuous improvement, Man And Van Ravenscourtpark reinforces its commitment to dignity, fairness, and the eradication of modern slavery in every part of the business.
