Modern Slavery Statement for Manorpark Storage

Manorpark Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that zero tolerance is essential, and we will not knowingly engage with any person or organisation involved in exploitation. Our approach is grounded in responsibility, vigilance, and continuous improvement.

As a storage business, Manorpark Storage may work with a range of suppliers, contractors, and service providers. We understand that risks of slavery and human trafficking can exist in many industries, particularly where labour is outsourced or sourcing is complex. For this reason, we apply due diligence at the start of supplier relationships and continue monitoring throughout the partnership. Our Manorpark Storage modern slavery policy is designed to help identify, prevent, and respond to potential concerns before harm occurs.

All suppliers are expected to meet our standards on ethical conduct, legal compliance, and labour practices. We require them to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour, and that they apply similar standards within their own supply chains. Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits to assess compliance, review employment practices, and verify corrective actions. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship.

Our Commitment and Controls

Our zero-tolerance policy means that any credible concern relating to modern slavery is treated seriously and investigated promptly. Manorpark Storage trains relevant staff to recognise warning signs, including signs of coercion, restricted movement, debt bondage, withheld wages, or unreasonable working conditions. We also encourage careful review of third-party relationships, especially where subcontracting, recruitment fees, or informal labour arrangements may increase risk. By strengthening awareness, we improve our ability to act early and decisively.

Reporting channels are an important part of this framework. Employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to raise concerns whenever they suspect unethical conduct or see behaviour that may indicate exploitation. Reports may be made through internal management routes, and every concern is assessed confidentially and without retaliation. Manorpark Storage will respond proportionately, which may include investigation, safeguarding measures, supplier review, or escalation to the relevant authorities where required.

We also recognise that prevention depends on more than rules alone. Our Manorpark Storage statement on modern slavery supports responsible procurement, clearer contract wording, and stronger oversight of outsourced services. We expect our managers and decision-makers to consider human rights risks when selecting suppliers, renewing agreements, and reviewing performance. These controls help ensure that ethical expectations are embedded across day-to-day operations rather than treated as a one-off exercise.

Supplier Audits and Risk Management

Supplier audits are carried out using a risk-based approach, with greater scrutiny given to higher-risk categories, geographies, or labour models. Audits may include document checks, workforce interviews, site visits, and follow-up verification of corrective actions. The aim is not only to identify non-compliance, but also to support improvement where possible. However, where serious breaches are found, Manorpark Storage will act immediately to protect people and uphold our standards.

Modern slavery at Manorpark Storage is addressed through governance that assigns responsibility to senior management and keeps the issue under regular review. This includes maintaining awareness of emerging risks, assessing the effectiveness of our controls, and keeping records of concerns, investigations, and resolutions. We expect honesty and transparency from our partners, and we look for evidence that they are also preventing exploitation within their own operations.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with current legal and ethical expectations. The annual review considers supplier performance, audit outcomes, training needs, reported concerns, and any changes in risk profile. Where improvements are needed, Manorpark Storage updates its processes and strengthens controls accordingly. Through this annual cycle, we aim to build a stronger, safer, and more responsible business that helps protect workers from abuse and exploitation.
