Modern Slavery Statement — Shoreditch House Clearance
Shoreditch House Clearance reaffirms a zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery and human trafficking across all aspects of our operations. As a local provider of Shoreditch house clearance and related clearance services, we commit to identifying and eliminating any form of forced labour, exploitation or unfair practice within our workforce and supply chains. This statement explains our approach, responsible procurement measures, and ongoing commitments to prevent modern slavery.
Our commitment applies to every member of staff, contractors and partners engaged in house clearance Shoreditch-wide. We require all personnel to adhere to our ethical standards and to report any concerns promptly. The company understands that risk can vary by supplier, region and type of work, and we take a proactive stance to reduce exposure to modern slavery risks through training, due diligence and clear policies.
Policy, Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
We operate a clear and enforceable modern slavery policy that is embedded into our procurement and operational procedures. Our procurement team screens new suppliers for compliance with labour standards and evaluates ongoing relationships through periodic assessments. Supplier audits form a core part of this due diligence process.
Supplier Assessment and Reporting Channels
Audits and supplier checks include documentation reviews, site visits where appropriate, and targeted questions about recruitment, wages, working hours and subcontracting. We maintain multiple reporting channels so that concerns can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Reporters may use internal reporting lines or raise issues through anonymised channels established for whistleblowing and ethical reporting. These channels are actively promoted and monitored to ensure responsiveness and protection for those who report.
To ensure practical impact, our supplier audit approach includes:
- Risk-based screening of new and existing suppliers to identify potential modern slavery exposure.
- Periodic on-site audits and remote reviews to verify policies, payroll and recruitment practices.
- Corrective action plans for suppliers that do not meet our standards, with timelines and follow-up audits.
We recognise that preventing modern slavery is an ongoing endeavour. Our teams receive regular training on identifying indicators of exploitation and on the correct procedures for escalation. We also require that key partners and sub-contractors engaged for house-clearance in Shoreditch implement equivalent safeguards and permit audits to confirm compliance with our expectations.
Accountability and governance are central to our response. Senior management reviews the outcomes of supplier audits, incident reports and mitigation measures. Every confirmed concern is investigated thoroughly, and appropriate remedial actions are taken which may include contract termination, mandatory corrective programmes and cooperation with enforcement authorities where necessary.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
The effectiveness of our anti-slavery programme is measured and reported to the board annually. We undertake a formal annual review of policies, audit results and incident trends to refine our approach, increase transparency and strengthen supplier engagement. This review drives improvements in training, due diligence, contractual clauses and the tools we use to monitor compliance.
In summary, Shoreditch house-clearance services are delivered under a robust framework designed to prevent modern slavery. Our zero-tolerance stance, combined with supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and an annual review cycle, ensures that we remain vigilant and accountable. We will continue to evolve our processes to protect vulnerable workers, support ethical supply chains and maintain high standards across all house clearance Shoreditch operations.
