Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Haroldpark
Man With Van Haroldpark is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights.

This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to identify, prevent, and address risks linked to modern slavery across all areas of the business.
As a local removal and transport service, Man with Van Haroldpark recognises that even small businesses can be exposed to hidden labour risks through subcontractors, logistics providers, cleaning services, fuel suppliers, and temporary labour arrangements. We therefore take a proactive approach to due diligence, ensuring that every Haroldpark removals process and support service aligns with ethical standards. Our aim is to uphold fair treatment, lawful working conditions, and dignity for every worker involved in our activities.
We expect all employees, contractors, and third-party partners to comply with applicable labour laws and ethical business practices.

Man With Van Haroldpark does not accept any arrangement that benefits from exploitation, whether direct or indirect.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
Supplier oversight is central to our approach. Before working with any new supplier or contractor, Man with Van Haroldpark assesses their business practices, reputation, and labour standards. We look for evidence of lawful recruitment, fair pay, safe working conditions, and respect for employee rights. Where appropriate, we request written confirmation that suppliers operate in compliance with anti-slavery requirements.
We also carry out supplier audits on a risk-based basis. These audits may include document checks, contract reviews, site visits, and questions relating to labour sourcing and working arrangements. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and require corrective action where needed. Persistent non-compliance may result in suspension or termination of the relationship. Haroldpark man with van services rely on trustworthy partners, and ethical conduct is a non-negotiable condition of cooperation.
Our procurement and operational teams are trained to recognise warning signs such as unusually low pricing, inconsistent payroll records, excessive use of agency labour, or reluctance to share employment information. By applying these controls, Man With Van Haroldpark strengthens its ability to prevent exploitation before it occurs and to respond decisively if issues are identified.
Reporting Channels and Employee Awareness
We encourage anyone connected to our business to report concerns about modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports may be raised through internal management channels, direct supervisors, or designated safeguarding leads. All disclosures are treated seriously, recorded confidentially, and assessed promptly. Where appropriate, concerns may be escalated to the relevant authorities.
To support awareness, we provide guidance to staff on recognising indicators of exploitation, including signs of restricted freedom, intimidation, poor living conditions, or control over identity documents. Man with Van Haroldpark promotes a culture in which questions are welcomed and concerns can be raised early. We believe that open reporting is essential to preventing abuse and protecting vulnerable individuals.
We also expect our suppliers to maintain accessible reporting mechanisms for their own workers and to ensure that complaints can be made safely. This expectation forms part of our Haroldpark removals supplier standards and is reviewed during supplier checks. No person should feel trapped, unheard, or unsafe in any role connected to our business.
Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal and ethical expectations. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, and any changes in legislation or industry practice. Where gaps are identified, we implement corrective measures and update internal controls accordingly.
Man With Van Haroldpark recognises that combating modern slavery requires continuous vigilance rather than a one-time declaration. We therefore seek to improve our policies, strengthen supplier accountability, and enhance awareness across the business each year. Our management team is responsible for overseeing progress and ensuring that commitments are translated into practical action.
Through this statement, Man With Van Haroldpark reaffirms its dedication to ethical trading, lawful employment, and respect for human dignity. We will continue to apply our zero-tolerance policy, maintain supplier audits, support reporting channels, and complete an annual review so that our operations remain transparent, responsible, and free from modern slavery.
