Modern Slavery Statement for Man With Van Dartmouthpark
Man With Van Dartmouthpark is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights in every part of our business. We recognise that modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, servitude, and human trafficking are serious crimes and unacceptable under any circumstances. This modern slavery statement sets out the practical steps we take to reduce the risk of exploitation within our operations and supply chain.
Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, agency staff, contractors, and suppliers. We expect every person and organisation connected with Man With Van Dartmouthpark to act lawfully and ethically. Any breach of this standard may result in immediate investigation and appropriate action, including suspension or termination of a business relationship. We are committed to identifying risk early and responding decisively.
We carry out due diligence on new and existing suppliers to ensure that they understand and meet our expectations. This includes reviewing business practices, contractual commitments, labour standards, and evidence of compliance. Where appropriate, supplier audits are undertaken to check working conditions, recruitment processes, and the treatment of workers. These audits help us identify concerns and strengthen our safeguards.
We also maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Employees and partners are encouraged to report any suspicion of exploitation, unethical conduct, or unsafe labour practices through internal procedures. All concerns are treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and investigated promptly. Protecting whistleblowers is essential to ensuring that issues are surfaced early and addressed responsibly.
Our business model relies on trusted relationships, and we therefore expect suppliers to share our commitment to responsible conduct. We monitor risk across procurement, transport, and subcontracted services, paying particular attention to higher-risk areas where hidden labour abuse can occur. Man With Van Dartmouthpark uses a proportionate approach, combining contract terms, assessments, and follow-up checks to support ongoing compliance.
Training and awareness are key parts of our prevention strategy. Relevant team members are informed about the warning signs of modern slavery, how to respond to concerns, and how to escalate issues properly. By building awareness across the organisation, Man With Van Dartmouthpark strengthens its ability to detect problems and maintain ethical standards in daily operations.
We recognise that risk management is not a one-time exercise. For that reason, this statement and the controls supporting it are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and relevant. The annual review considers any incidents, audit findings, supplier changes, legal updates, and emerging risks. Improvements are then built into our policies, procurement processes, and staff guidance.
Where a concern is identified, we take a risk-based response that may include corrective action plans, enhanced monitoring, or ending the relationship if the issue cannot be resolved. Our aim is not only to comply with the law, but to promote fair treatment and accountability throughout the supply chain. This approach reflects the values of Man With Van Dartmouthpark and our expectation of responsible business conduct.
We will continue to strengthen our controls, improve oversight, and promote awareness so that our operations remain free from exploitation. This statement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to ethical practice and our determination to uphold human dignity across all areas of the business.
