Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Twickenham

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Flat Clearance Twickenham and its allocated teams to prevent all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that companies involved in property clearance, waste management and associated labour supply can face risks, and we declare a clear, uncompromising stance: no slave labour, no forced labour, and no exploitation tolerated under any circumstances.

Our zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery applies to direct employees, contractors and third-party providers engaged in flat clearance Twickenham and related services. We require that everyone acting on our behalf adheres to ethical labour practices, lawful working hours, fair pay and full consent to work. Any breach of this policy will trigger immediate investigation and proportionate action, including termination of contracts where necessary.

We expect suppliers and partners to demonstrate equivalent standards. All vendors supplying goods or services to the Twickenham flat clearance projects must confirm compliance through contractual clauses and declarations. We embed anti-slavery and human trafficking language in supplier terms and reserve the right to undertake supplier audits to verify compliance and remediate issues where they are found.

Policies, Risk Assessment and Supplier Audits

To manage risk, Flat Clearance Twickenham conducts periodic risk assessments across our operations and procurement channels. We focus on areas with higher labour intensity and subcontracting, where vulnerabilities are more likely. Our supplier audits form a cornerstone of this approach: they include document checks, site visits where appropriate and targeted questionnaires. Audits are prioritised by risk level and repeated as part of our continuous improvement cycle.

We maintain a supplier due diligence process that combines pre-contract screening with on-going monitoring. This process seeks evidence of legitimate recruitment practices, lawful right to work checks, transparent wage records and freedom of movement for workers. Where audits identify deficiencies, we require corrective action plans and follow-up verification; persistent non-compliance leads to supply relationship termination.

Key elements of our approach include:

• Pre-contract checks and mandatory anti-slavery clauses in purchase agreements;
• Routine supplier audits and targeted inspections for high-risk suppliers;
• Training for staff on spotting signs of exploitation and responsibilities when engaging contractors;
• Clear reporting channels for concerns and a commitment to effective remediation.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels so employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns about suspected modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal HR routes, via a designated compliance officer or by escalation to senior management. All reports are treated seriously, assessed promptly and investigated in a fair and proportionate manner. We encourage the use of anonymous reporting where appropriate and ensure protection for whistleblowers.

Remediation and corrective measures aim to prioritise the safety and welfare of affected individuals. Where exploitation is identified, we coordinate appropriate support, engage law enforcement or regulatory bodies if required, and take corrective steps to prevent recurrence. Actions include contract termination, supplier replacement and, where possible, remediation plans to address worker harm.

In line with our governance framework, this statement will be reviewed annually and updated to reflect changes in law, operational practice and the evolving risk landscape for flat-clearance and household clearance services in Twickenham and surrounding areas. Lessons from audits, incident investigations and stakeholder engagement will inform continuous improvement, ensuring our policies remain effective and responsive.
