Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Shepherds Bush

Flat Clearance Shepherds Bush is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach, our expectations of suppliers and contractors, and the practical steps we take to ensure compliance. As a provider of flat clearance in Shepherds Bush, we recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to take proactive measures to reduce risk.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any practices that could constitute forced labour, bonded labour, or exploitative working conditions. Shepherds Bush flat clearance activities are conducted only with partners and staff who meet our ethical standards. Our zero-tolerance stance is embedded in company policies, contracts and day-to-day operations so that every member of the team understands their role in preventing exploitation.

Scope and Commitment

This statement applies to all flat clearance services Shepherds Bush activities, including subcontractors, suppliers of waste disposal and clearance equipment, and any temporary labour engaged on our projects. We commit to continuous improvement, basing our practices on recognised principles and reflecting the specific risks associated with clearances of residential properties in the local area.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence

We undertake risk assessments that identify areas where modern slavery risks may arise. Our due diligence process covers recruitment, payroll, working hours, and supplier onboarding. We require evidence of legal right to work and fair employment terms for all staff and subcontractors involved in flat clearances Shepherds Bush, and we verify these documents as part of routine checks.

We conduct supplier audits and audits of third-party labour providers to ensure compliance with our standards. Audits include document checks, site visits and interviews where appropriate. Findings are tracked and suppliers must provide corrective action plans for any deficiencies. We use the audit results to inform risk mitigation and to determine whether to continue, escalate or terminate relationships with non-compliant vendors.

Our procurement policy sets clear expectations: suppliers must adhere to our anti-slavery requirements, demonstrate transparent labour practices, and permit periodic reviews. Key elements of our supplier controls include:

• Contractual clauses prohibiting modern slavery and requiring compliance;
• Regular supplier assessments and on-site inspections;
• Mandatory evidence of recruitment and payroll procedures;
• Escalation procedures for serious concerns, including termination of contracts.

We maintain multiple reporting channels so that workers, suppliers and members of the public can raise concerns confidentially. Reports can be made internally through a dedicated whistleblowing route, and we ensure that anyone reporting suspected modern slavery will be supported and protected from retaliation. Our HR team and senior management review all reports promptly and, where necessary, refer matters to the appropriate authorities.

Reporting channels are communicated to staff and contractors during induction and through regular training. We provide training on recognising signs of exploitation, safe reporting and the steps the company will take in response. This training is refreshed periodically to reflect changing risks and lessons learned from incidents and audits.

Governance, Review and Transparency

Governance of our anti-slavery efforts sits with senior management who review policy effectiveness, audit outcomes and remediation progress. We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our processes, adjusting measures where necessary to strengthen protections. Our annual review includes analysis of supplier performance, effectiveness of reporting channels, incident response measures and training uptake.
