Modern Slavery Statement for House Clearance Rotherhithe

House Clearance Rotherhithe confirms a clear and unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery, trafficking and forced labour in all areas of our business and supply chain. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy, the steps we take to identify and mitigate risks across our Rotherhithe house clearance operations, and the responsibilities of our team. We operate with transparency and ethical intent, ensuring that every removal, clearance and recycling activity is carried out lawfully and humanely.

Zero-tolerance policy and principles

Our zero-tolerance policy means that any evidence or credible suspicion of modern slavery within our service delivery, subcontractors or suppliers will trigger immediate action. All staff and contractors engaged in house clearance in Rotherhithe must comply with this policy. We require that workers are treated with dignity, paid fairly, and able to work freely without coercion. Breaches of this policy result in termination of contracts and potential referral to relevant authorities.

Standards we enforce

To uphold our commitments we require suppliers and partners to meet clear standards. These include:

• Legal employment practices, including right-to-work checks and lawful wages
• Safe working conditions across all house clearance and waste handling activities
• No forced labour, no withholding of identity documents and no exploitative recruitment

Supplier audits and due diligence

We operate a structured supplier audit programme targeted at high-risk suppliers and contractors involved in domestic and commercial clearances in Rotherhithe and surrounding boroughs. Audits combine document review, contractual compliance checks and on-site inspections where appropriate. Our procurement terms include clauses that allow us to monitor compliance and to require corrective action plans. If a supplier refuses to cooperate, we reserve the right to terminate the relationship immediately.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing House clearance Rotherhithe maintains multiple safe and confidential reporting channels so staff, contractors and third parties can report concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made to an appointed compliance lead, via secure internal channels, or through an anonymous reporting mechanism. We ensure reports are investigated promptly and sensitively, with appropriate support for potential victims and, where necessary, engagement with law enforcement or specialist charities.

Our reporting protocol emphasises protection for whistleblowers and victims. Investigative outcomes are documented and used to improve controls. We encourage early reporting and provide training to help employees recognise signs of modern slavery in both our clearing teams and in the wider supply chain.

Risk assessment, training and continuous monitoring

We conduct regular risk assessments across our operations and supply chain focusing on activities common to house clearance and furniture removal. Staff receive mandatory training on spotting indicators of exploitation, safe referral processes and their responsibilities under our policy. Training is refreshed periodically and forms part of induction for new hires engaged in Rotherhithe removal services.

Corrective actions and contractual remedies are enforced when issues are identified. Where audits or reports reveal non-compliance, we require time-bound remediation plans, enhanced monitoring and, when required, replacement of non-compliant suppliers. We document all remedial actions and retain records to demonstrate our proactive approach to tackling modern slavery.

Annual review and governance This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by senior management to assess effectiveness, update policies and respond to evolving risks. The review includes an appraisal of supplier audit results, incident logs, training completion rates and feedback from operational teams engaged in Rotherhithe house clearance work. Any significant changes to our risk profile or control measures will be reflected in the next published statement. By maintaining these standards across our house clearance and clearout services, we reaffirm our dedication to eradicating modern slavery from our activities and those of our partners.
