Queenspark Man And Van is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent and address modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and child labour within our operations and supply chains. As a responsible Queenspark Man and Van provider, we recognise that vigilance is essential in every part of our work, from labour sourcing to subcontracted services.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all forms of modern slavery. We do not accept, support or knowingly engage with any practice that exploits vulnerable people. All workers, contractors and suppliers are expected to uphold the same standards. This includes fair recruitment, lawful employment terms, safe working conditions and the freedom for individuals to leave employment without threat, coercion or penalty.

To reinforce this position, we require relevant employees and managers to understand the signs of exploitation and to act promptly if concerns arise. The aim of this Queenspark Man And Van modern slavery statement is not only compliance, but active prevention. We believe ethical conduct should shape how we work, how we select partners and how we manage risk across our operations.

Supply Chain Controls and Supplier Audits

Queenspark Man & Van services rely on a range of suppliers, including vehicle maintenance providers, equipment suppliers and specialist contractors. We assess suppliers based on their ability to meet our ethical standards before entering into business relationships. Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits and request evidence of labour practices, right-to-work checks and policies that prohibit modern slavery.

Our audit approach is proportionate to the nature of the relationship and the level of risk involved. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to enhanced review, including document checks, contract clauses, on-site verification and periodic reassessment. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable labour standards, we will work with them to improve their controls or, where necessary, suspend or end the relationship.

We also expect our suppliers to flow these requirements down to their own subcontractors and workers. This helps extend the reach of Queenspark Man and Van’s modern slavery controls beyond direct contracts. By making compliance a shared responsibility, we strengthen the resilience of our supply chain and reduce the risk of hidden exploitation.

Risk Assessment, Reporting and Oversight

Modern slavery risks may appear in transport, logistics and labour-intensive services, especially where there is dependence on temporary labour or multiple layers of subcontracting. For that reason, we review risk indicators such as geographic location, service type, workforce turnover and unusual commercial pressures. We use these findings to focus our prevention efforts where they are most needed.

Reporting Channels

We encourage anyone connected with Queenspark Man And Van to report concerns about potential exploitation, unsafe working practices or breaches of this statement. Reports may be raised through internal management channels, to designated supervisors, or through formal incident reporting processes. All concerns are treated seriously, reviewed promptly and handled with discretion.

We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Where an issue is identified, we will investigate, take corrective action and, if appropriate, involve the relevant authorities. This commitment supports a culture in which workers and partners can speak up early, helping us respond before harm becomes entrenched.

Training, Monitoring and Annual Review

Our people play a key role in keeping our operations ethical. We provide awareness guidance to help teams recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, identity document retention or inconsistent employment arrangements. Monitoring and ongoing learning are essential to making the Queenspark Man And Van statement on modern slavery effective in practice rather than only in principle.

We will review this statement annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant and aligned with our business activities and legal obligations. The annual review will consider supplier performance, any reported incidents, lessons learned from audits and changes in risk. Where improvements are needed, we will update our controls and strengthen our approach.

Queenspark Man and Van is dedicated to continuous improvement and ethical accountability. Through zero tolerance, supplier audits, clear reporting channels and annual review, we aim to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chain. We will continue to act with care, responsibility and respect for every person involved in our work.
