Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Queensbury

Man With Van Queensbury is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Man With Van Queensbury to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that exploitation can occur in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines dignity, freedom, or lawful employment.

As a moving and transport service, Queensbury Man With Van works with suppliers, contractors, and service partners who support daily operations. We expect all parties to uphold the same ethical standards we demand of ourselves. Our commitment is based on compliance with applicable law, responsible procurement, and a proactive approach to identifying and addressing risk. We do not accept any business advantage achieved through abuse, coercion, deception, or unsafe working conditions.

This statement applies to all areas of the business and reflects our understanding that modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. We regularly communicate our expectations to staff and external partners, ensuring that labour practices remain lawful and fair. Man With Van in Queensbury supports an environment where workers are treated with respect, paid appropriately, and free to leave employment without threat or penalty.

To strengthen our prevention measures, Man With Van Queensbury carries out supplier due diligence and supplier audits where appropriate. These reviews may include checks on working hours, wages, subcontracting arrangements, identity verification, and the use of legally compliant labour contracts. If a supplier is unable to demonstrate acceptable standards, we seek corrective action immediately and reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship.

Our purchasing decisions are guided by ethical principles as well as operational needs. We assess risk indicators such as unusual labour arrangements, unexplained subcontracting, and excessive control over workers’ movement or documents. The Man With Van Queensbury team is instructed to escalate concerns quickly so that issues can be investigated before harm occurs. Where needed, we request further evidence, additional safeguards, or independent confirmation of compliance.

Training is an important part of our prevention framework. Staff members involved in recruitment, procurement, logistics, and management are encouraged to recognise warning signs and understand how exploitation may appear in everyday operations. By strengthening awareness across the business, Queensbury Man With Van increases its ability to detect risk early and respond responsibly.

We also provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised promptly and safely. Any employee, contractor, or supplier who suspects modern slavery, unsafe labour practices, or unethical behaviour is encouraged to report it through internal reporting routes. Reports are treated seriously, investigated confidentially where possible, and handled without fear of retaliation against the person raising the concern.

Man With Van in Queensbury believes that effective reporting systems are essential for protecting workers and maintaining trust. Concerns may relate to wage withholding, intimidation, restricted freedom, forged documents, or signs that individuals are being controlled or exploited. We will take appropriate action based on the findings of each investigation, which may include immediate remediation, supplier review, or referral to relevant authorities.

Our approach is supported by internal accountability. Managers are expected to model ethical conduct, monitor risk, and ensure that any credible allegation is escalated. This helps Man With Van Queensbury maintain a safe and lawful operating environment across all business relationships.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with legal obligations and best practice. Each annual review considers emerging risks, supplier performance, audit outcomes, staff awareness, and any reported concerns. Where improvements are identified, we update our controls and procedures accordingly.

The review process allows Queensbury Man With Van to measure progress and strengthen its response year by year. We remain committed to continuous improvement, responsible sourcing, and ethical decision-making throughout the business. Our goal is to help ensure that every person connected to our operations is treated fairly, lawfully, and with dignity.

Through this statement, Man With Van Queensbury confirms its unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery in all forms. We will continue to review risks, maintain supplier oversight, support transparent reporting, and uphold our zero-tolerance stance as a core principle of our business.
