Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Greenwich Commitment

House Clearance Greenwich is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach, policies and the actions we take to ensure that all workers associated with our Greenwich house clearance activities are treated fairly and free from exploitation. We operate a strict zero-tolerance stance on forced labour, debt bondage and human trafficking.

We recognise that the nature of greenwich house clearance work, including waste removal, property clearing and subcontracted services, can create vulnerabilities. To protect people, our policies focus on prevention, detection and remediation. All employees and contractors are expected to adhere to our ethical standards and to report any concerns through the channels described below.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Our policy is clear: we do not tolerate modern slavery in any form. This applies to all areas of the business, from house clearance in Greenwich to any ancillary services we procure. House-Clearance Greenwich enforces contractual clauses that require suppliers to comply with anti-slavery laws and to permit audits. Any breach of this policy can lead to contract termination and referral to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audit Programme

We conduct a robust supplier assessment process for all new and existing vendors. The supplier audit framework evaluates recruitment practices, wage and hour compliance, subcontracting arrangements and worker welfare. Audits may be conducted on-site or via remote assessment and are risk-based, prioritising suppliers linked to labour-intensive tasks in the house clearance sector.

Our audit process includes:

• Verification of identity and right to work for workers engaged in Greenwich house clearance operations;
• Review of payroll records, timesheets and payment practices;
• Inspection of working conditions, accommodation (if provided) and health and safety measures;
• Interviews with workers where possible and assessment of grievance mechanisms.

We require suppliers to demonstrate continuous improvement. High-risk suppliers must provide corrective action plans and agree to follow-up audits. For house clearance in Greenwich contracts we include contractual warranties and right-to-audit clauses that allow us to act swiftly if concerns are identified.

Reporting Channels — We maintain multiple internal reporting routes so that staff, contractors and third parties can raise concerns safely. Reports can be made through line managers, senior compliance personnel or a confidential whistleblowing process. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled with confidentiality to protect those who raise concerns. We encourage the use of these channels to report any suspected exploitation related to house clearance services in Greenwich.

Investigation and Remediation — When potential instances of modern slavery are identified, we take immediate action to secure the welfare of affected individuals, which may include suspension of involved personnel, cooperation with law enforcement, and the provision of appropriate support to victims. We also review supplier relationships and contract terms to prevent recurrence.

Training and Awareness — All staff involved in procurement, operations and management for Greenwich house clearance receive training on modern slavery risks, the signs of exploitation and how to report concerns. Training is refreshed periodically and adapted to emerging risks in the house-clearance Greenwich market.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement — This statement and our related policies are reviewed at least once every year. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of our due diligence, supplier audits, reporting channels and remediation actions. Findings are used to strengthen controls, update training and set measurable objectives to reduce risk across our house clearance operations in Greenwich.

We are committed to transparency and continual progress. House Clearance Greenwich will publish updates to this statement as we refine our approach and make demonstrable improvements in preventing modern slavery across our business and supply chain.
