Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Herne Hill

House Clearance Herne Hill is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation and forced labour across our operations, including when providing house clearance in Herne Hill and surrounding communities. This statement sets out how our house clearance services in Herne Hill and Herne Hill house clearance partners are managed to reduce risk and promote ethical practices.

We affirm our duty to respect human rights and explain the steps we take to identify, prevent and remediate risks. The organisation's approach covers recruitment, contractor engagement and supply chain oversight. Our staff, subcontractors and suppliers are expected to uphold these values and ensure transparent labour practices during every stage of a house clearance Herne Hill project.

Modern slavery covers a range of abuses including forced labour, debt bondage and human trafficking. We comply with applicable anti-slavery laws and international standards, and require the same from those who work with or for us. Strong contractual clauses and due diligence measures are embedded into procurement and operational contracts to reduce the likelihood of exploitation within our supply chain.

Our zero-tolerance policy means we will not knowingly work with organisations or individuals who engage in modern slavery. This policy applies to direct employees, agency staff and all tiers of suppliers used for house-clearance Herne Hill activities. We conduct pre-engagement screening for new contractors and require evidence of legal right to work, fair pay and decent working conditions as part of onboarding.

We expect every colleague and partner to be vigilant. Training emphasises how to spot signs of exploitation, and managers are instructed to escalate concerns immediately. Procedures include identity checks, time-record reconciliation and verification of payroll practices to guard against coercive working conditions in any Herne Hill house clearance assignment.

Supplier audits are a core control. We undertake regular assessments, both remote and on-site, to evaluate supplier compliance with our anti-slavery policy. Audit findings inform corrective action plans and ongoing monitoring. Suppliers who fail to meet our standards face contractual review and potential termination to protect vulnerable workers.

Our supplier due-diligence framework includes risk-based audits, documentation checks and performance monitoring. Key activities include:

• regular contract reviews and ethical clauses;
• announced and unannounced site inspections;
• worker interviews and payroll audits;
• corrective action tracking until remediation is verified.

Reporting channels are maintained to ensure concerns can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Employees, contractors and third parties can use internal escalation routes to notify management of suspected exploitation. We reinforce that reports will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and managed with appropriate safeguarding measures.

We publish an annual review of our policies and performance, assessing the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures and identifying areas for improvement. The review considers audit outcomes, training uptake, incident reports and supplier compliance trends. Governance responsibilities lie with senior leadership who regularly review progress, resource requirements and strategic responses to emerging risks in the house clearance sector.
