Modern Slavery Statement for House Clearance Hackbridge

House Clearance Hackbridge is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach and the steps we take within our company and across our local supply chain. We recognise that anyone involved in house clearance, removal, or waste handling can be vulnerable to exploitation, and we adopt robust measures to protect workers and clients. Our zero-tolerance policy is uncompromising: no form of forced labour, servitude, or human trafficking will be accepted in any Hackbridge house clearance service we operate or procure.

Our policy applies to all employees, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers engaged with house-clearance Hackbridge projects. We implement recruitment checks and clear contractual terms and insist on fair wages, safe working conditions and the right to leave employment voluntarily. Employees and partners are informed of their rights and obligations in plain language. We embed ethical standards into procurement processes and require transparency at every stage of removal, clearance and disposal activities.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct targeted supplier audits to identify and address risks of modern slavery across our supply chain. Audit processes for Hackbridge house clearance partners include a documented review of employment records, working hours, payment practices and subcontracting arrangements. Our supplier due diligence includes:

• Pre-engagement screening: legal and reputational checks before appointment.
• On-site inspections: periodic visits to verify working conditions and subcontractor practices.
• Document verification: payroll, contracts and identity checks to confirm lawful employment.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain clear reporting channels so that suspected instances of coercion, exploitation or forced labour can be raised safely and securely. Reports about concerns related to House Clearance Hackbridge operations can be made internally through our designated reporting routes, which protect anonymity and guard against retaliation. We encourage workers, contractors and members of the public to report anything they believe may indicate modern slavery. Reports are triaged promptly, investigated thoroughly and, where required, referred to the appropriate authorities.

Training and Continuous Improvement: We provide regular training for managers, staff and key suppliers to recognise the signs of modern slavery and to follow our incident response procedures. This training covers spot-check techniques, identifying suspicious documentations and understanding coercion indicators in the context of house clearance and removals. We also maintain a code of conduct for suppliers and require subcontractors to sign agreements affirming compliance with anti-slavery standards.

Monitoring, Review and Accountability: We perform ongoing monitoring of our mitigation measures and maintain records of audits, training and incidents. Our leadership team holds responsibility for implementation and compliance, with a formal annual review of our anti-slavery approach. Each year we evaluate the effectiveness of policies including supplier audits, reporting responsiveness and staff training outcomes, and we revise controls where gaps are found. This annual review covers all aspects of our household clearance and related services in Hackbridge and is used to set objectives for the following year.
