Modern Slavery Statement for Kingston Upon Thames House Clearance

Kingston Upon Thames House Clearance is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This statement sets out our approach to reducing risks in our business and supply chain and reflects our zero-tolerance stance. We publish this statement to be transparent about our policies, procedures and the practical steps we take to ensure that services provided under the Kingston-upon-Thames house clearance and related activities are conducted ethically and lawfully.

We operate across residential and commercial properties offering house clearance Kingston upon Thames and surrounding boroughs. Our zero-tolerance policy means that any instance of forced labour, servitude, or exploitation is unacceptable and will trigger immediate action. All staff and contractors are required to adhere to these standards; non-compliance may result in contract termination and referral to appropriate authorities.

Scope and Responsibility

Our obligations cover direct employees, agency workers, subcontractors and any third-party suppliers engaged to support Kingston house clearance services. Senior management take responsibility for the policy and its implementation. We maintain clear accountability by assigning ownership of anti-slavery measures to a designated compliance lead and by integrating these responsibilities into performance objectives.

Due Diligence and Risk Assessment

We perform risk assessments across our operations and supply chain. Key risk indicators include labor-intensive services, use of lower-tier suppliers and regions with weaker labor protections. We undertake due diligence when selecting partners for Kingston Upon Thames clearance work, checking identity, reference histories, and labour practices to reduce the risk of modern slavery.

To strengthen our approach we deploy screening and contract clauses that require suppliers to comply with our anti-slavery expectations. Suppliers must confirm their compliance, and we reserve the right to audit and terminate agreements where evidence of exploitation is found. We expect transparency and cooperation from all trading partners.

Supplier Audits: our programme of monitoring includes periodic and risk-based audits of suppliers and subcontractors. Audits assess recruitment practices, payroll processes, working hours and living conditions where relevant. Audit findings result in corrective action plans or removal from our approved supplier list for severe breaches.

We use a combination of self-assessments, on-site checks, and independent verifications to ensure remediation is effective. Where issues are identified we work to remediate harms and support victims through appropriate legal and welfare channels, while ensuring accountability for responsible parties. These steps form part of our practical approach to preventing, detecting and responding to forced labour within house clearance Kingston upon Thames projects.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain confidential reporting channels for staff, contractors and third parties to raise concerns. Reports may be made without fear of retaliation, and all allegations are investigated promptly and impartially. Reporting routes include secure internal escalation and referral to external authorities where criminal behaviour is suspected. Strong protections are in place for whistleblowers and those who assist investigations.

Training, Communication and Continuous Improvement

All employees and on-site managers receive training on identifying signs of modern slavery and how to report concerns. Communication emphasises our ethical standards across all Kingston-upon-Thames house clearance activities. We regularly review procedures and incorporate lessons learned into updated policies and supplier contracts.

Our standards are embedded in procurement and contractor management. We include clear contractual obligations requiring suppliers to comply with anti-slavery legislation and to permit audits. Where suppliers fail to meet standards, we apply graduated responses from improvement plans to contract termination. Key performance indicators are used to measure compliance and drive improvement.

Every year we conduct an annual review of our Modern Slavery Statement, policies and performance. This formal review evaluates the effectiveness of our measures, audit results, training uptake and reported incidents. Findings inform an updated risk assessment and an action plan to strengthen controls across the Kingston upon Thames house clearance services.

Commitment: Kingston Upon Thames House Clearance remains resolute in its commitment to combat modern slavery. We will continue to develop practical steps — including supplier audits, robust reporting channels, staff training and an annual review process — to ensure that our operations are free from exploitation and that our contracts reflect the highest standards of ethical conduct.
