Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Acton

We, House Clearance Acton, publish this Modern Slavery Statement to affirm our unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations and supply chain. This statement covers the policies and actions that govern our work in Acton house clearance and related services. We set a clear expectation: no form of modern slavery will be tolerated in any area of our business.

Our zero-tolerance approach is embedded in company culture and training. The leadership team enforces a zero-tolerance policy which applies to employees, contractors and third-party suppliers working with our Acton clearance services. All staff receive mandatory awareness training and our codes of conduct outline clear disciplinary measures for breaches. We emphasise ethical recruitment practices and ensure workers are free to leave employment after reasonable notice.

Supply chain transparency is central to our compliance program. For every project involving house clearance in Acton, we map suppliers and subcontractors and assess risk factors such as labour sourcing, accommodation and subcontracting layers. Our procurement agreements require suppliers to comply with anti-slavery laws and to provide evidence of lawful employment practices. We publish supplier standards and expect prompt corrective action where issues are identified.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct regular due diligence and proactive supplier audits to identify and address risk. Audits include documentation reviews, site visits and interviews where appropriate. Audit criteria focus on pay and working conditions, recruitment fees, right-to-work documentation and subcontractor oversight. Where risks are identified, we implement remediation plans and may suspend or terminate contracts for non-compliance.

Our supplier assessment process includes risk scoring, periodic follow-ups and a requirement for suppliers to certify compliance annually. We prioritise high-risk relationships—such as those involving manual labour or temporary staff—and apply enhanced verification measures. We also encourage suppliers to adopt their own anti-slavery policies and to share best practice within the community of Acton house-clearance providers.

To strengthen accountability we maintain a supplier register and track remediation outcomes. Key performance indicators include numbers of audits completed, corrective actions closed and training sessions delivered. These metrics help inform procurement decisions and ensure our Acton clearance supply chain remains robust and transparent.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide secure and accessible reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery or exploitation. Reports can be made anonymously through our internal whistleblowing process and are handled with confidentiality. All allegations are investigated promptly, and we protect whistleblowers from retaliation. Our reporting framework uses independent case management to maintain impartiality.

Governance and continuous improvement underpin our response. The board reviews modern slavery risks as part of wider compliance oversight and senior management is accountable for implementation. We operate a cross-functional working group that reviews incidents, audit findings and supplier performance, ensuring that corrective actions are tracked to completion and learning is embedded across operations.

Annual review and public accountability: we commit to an annual review of this statement and our policies. Each year we publish an updated statement describing actions taken, audit outcomes and planned improvements. This cycle of review ensures that our modern slavery mitigation measures evolve with emerging risks and that House Clearance Acton maintains the highest standards of ethical practice in all house clearance services across Acton and surrounding areas.
