Queens Park Man with Van - Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Queens Park Man with Van to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We operate with a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of forced labour, child labour and exploitation. Our Queens Park man with van teams and the wider Queens Park removal service network must act ethically and transparently in every task we undertake.
We recognise our responsibility as a local removals provider, and we will not tolerate any practices that could constitute modern slavery. All staff, contractors and sub-contractors working for Queens Park Man & Van are expected to comply with this approach. Any breach of this policy will be treated seriously and investigated promptly.
Our policy framework includes clear protocols for recruitment, engagement and payment of workers to reduce vulnerability to exploitation. We expect suppliers to provide evidence of lawful employment, safe working conditions and fair pay. As part of our approach to supplier audits, we require partners in the supply chain to adhere to our anti-slavery standards and to provide documentation on employment practices.
Policies, Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
Queens Park man with van services are supported by documented policies and procedures designed to identify and mitigate risk. Supplier due diligence is a core element: we assess potential and existing suppliers against defined criteria to ensure compliance with labour laws and ethical standards. Supplier audits are conducted proportionally based on risk, and include:
- Verification of identity and right to work for workers;
- Review of contracts and wage payment records;
- On-site and remote assessments where required.
Audit findings inform corrective action plans. Where non-compliance is identified, Queens Park man-and-van management will require a remediation plan with clear deadlines. Persistent breaches will lead to termination of supply arrangements and, where appropriate, referral to relevant authorities.
Reporting Channels and Training
We provide multiple, confidential reporting channels for workers and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery or exploitation within the Queens Park Man with Van operation. Reports can be made anonymously through our internal reporting mechanisms and will be investigated thoroughly. Reporting channels are supported by a no-retaliation commitment: anyone raising a concern in good faith will be protected.
Training and awareness-raising are mandatory for staff and relevant contractors. Regular training equips employees and drivers with the skills to recognise signs of exploitation, understand how to report concerns and comply with remediation procedures. We also encourage supervisors to maintain a visible presence on-site to foster a culture of openness and safety.

Our approach emphasises continuous improvement: we monitor the effectiveness of training, reporting and audit activities through key performance indicators and follow-up reviews. We maintain records of investigations, remediation steps and outcomes to ensure accountability and transparency across the Queens Park removal service.
Enforcement of this policy is the responsibility of senior management. Any allegations of modern slavery or related misconduct will be escalated, investigated and addressed with proportionate disciplinary action where appropriate. We view compliance with anti-slavery standards as integral to our business integrity and long-term sustainability.
We work collaboratively with suppliers to encourage best practice throughout the supply chain. Where local conditions increase risk, enhanced due diligence and more frequent audits will be applied. This risk-based approach allows Queens Park Man & Van to focus resources where they can have the greatest impact.
We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and the policies it describes. Each year the board and senior leadership will review progress, audit outcomes and training impact, and will update our strategy accordingly. The annual review will consider new legislative requirements, stakeholder expectations and operational changes to ensure the statement remains robust and effective.
By publishing this statement, Queens Park man with van confirms its ongoing dedication to eradicating modern slavery from its operations and supply chain. Strong governance, supplier audits, safe reporting channels and an annual review process together form the pillars of our response to this critical issue. We will continue to act decisively where risks are identified and to support those affected by exploitation.
