Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Hanwell

House Clearance Hanwell is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all its operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance stance and the practical steps we take across our Hanwell house clearance and clearance services in Hanwell operations. We believe every person deserves to be treated with dignity and fairness. Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged in house clearance in Hanwell and adjacent communities.

Scope and Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking or exploitation within our house clearance Hanwell activities. All staff are required to adhere to our code of conduct and any breach will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Our commitment extends to sub-contractors and suppliers supplying goods, waste removal, transport and labour for Hanwell clearance services.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We carry out proportionate due diligence across our supplier base and conduct regular supplier audits to ensure compliance with our standards. Audit measures include:

• Verification of employment records and right-to-work checks
• On-site assessments of working conditions and hours
• Review of recruitment practices and third-party labour providers
• Contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery obligations

These checks apply to all suppliers to the Hanwell house clearance business and form part of our supplier onboarding and ongoing monitoring programme. Audit outcomes inform corrective action plans where necessary.

Reporting Channels

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels to enable staff, contractors and third parties to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reporting options include anonymous whistleblowing mechanisms, direct reports to management, and secure internal reporting portals. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and appropriate remedial actions are implemented. Our reporting process is designed to protect whistleblowers and preserve confidentiality throughout any investigation.

Training and awareness are essential to prevent modern slavery in our Hanwell cupboard, attic and estate clearance operations. We provide regular training for employees and key suppliers, covering identification of risks, safe recruitment practices and how to use reporting channels. Training materials include practical scenarios specific to the Hanwell clearance services environment.

We also embed anti-slavery clauses into supplier contracts and include periodic reviews of supply chain risk. Where non-compliance is found, we pursue remediation with the supplier; in severe cases we will cease business with the offending party. Corrective measures may include required action plans, repeat audits, or termination of contracts.

Governance and Oversight

Overall responsibility for this statement and the implementation of anti-slavery measures sits with senior management. Governance structures include regular review by leadership and designated compliance officers who oversee supplier audits, incident response and training effectiveness. We maintain records of due diligence and audit findings for oversight and accountability.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We review this Modern Slavery Statement at least once every 12 months as part of our commitment to continuous improvement. The annual review evaluates the effectiveness of our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audit programme, reporting channels and training initiatives. Results of the review lead to updates in policy, procedure and resource allocation to address emerging risks in Hanwell house clearance and related services.

Through collaboration with suppliers, staff and relevant stakeholders we strive to strengthen controls, increase transparency and reduce risk across the entire value chain. Our aim is to ensure that every job we undertake in Hanwell and surrounding areas is carried out ethically and in full compliance with human rights standards.

Conclusion: This statement reaffirms our absolute commitment to eradicating modern slavery in all forms from our business and supply chain. House Clearance Hanwell will continue to act decisively where issues are identified and will report progress through our internal governance processes.
