Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Cricklewood

House Clearance Cricklewood has a clear and uncompromising stance: we operate a zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across all our services. This modern slavery statement explains our commitments, the actions we take to prevent exploitation in house clearance and clearance services across Cricklewood and surrounding areas, and the continuous steps we take to protect vulnerable people in our supply chain. We recognise the moral and legal duty to identify, remediate and prevent any form of slavery within our operations.

Our Policy and Principles

We maintain a written policy which communicates our position to all employees, contractors and partners. The policy emphasises that any form of coerced work, debt bondage, human trafficking or exploitative practices will not be tolerated. As a Cricklewood house clearance specialist, we integrate this policy into job descriptions, procurement processes and contractual terms. Employees are required to acknowledge the policy and participate in periodic training on recognising and reporting signs of exploitation.

Scope: What We Cover

This statement covers our house clearance Cricklewood operations, subcontractors, suppliers and any third-party labour engaged for clearances, removals and recycling. We recognise that risk exists in procurement, transport, storage and waste handling, and we commit to performing risk assessments for high-risk activities. Our approach includes screening new suppliers, verifying labour practices and ensuring compliance with applicable employment laws.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence — We carry out robust supplier due diligence and periodic supplier audits to confirm ethical practices. Audits include documentary checks on pay, working hours, right-to-work verification and health and safety compliance. Where necessary we conduct on-site inspections and supplier interviews. Our supplier code of conduct sets expectations for fair labour standards and transparency; breach of these terms can lead to contract termination or corrective action plans.

To strengthen procurement controls we use tiered risk assessments and prioritise audits for contractors supplying manual labour, transport and waste management. We also require subcontractors to flow down the same anti-slavery obligations. These measures help the Cricklewood clearance network to reduce the likelihood of modern slavery incidents and ensure our slu of suppliers upholds ethical standards.

Employee Awareness and Reporting Channels — We maintain clear reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery. Staff, contractors and members of the public can raise issues through confidential internal reporting routes, anonymous hotlines and escalation to senior management. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. We provide protections against retaliation and encourage early reporting of suspicious practices.

Remediation and Continuous Improvement — When potential or confirmed cases are identified in our house clearance operations, we take immediate remedial steps to safeguard affected individuals, collaborate with authorities where required and apply contractual remedies with suppliers. Corrective measures may include immediate suspension of services, provision of support to victims and reparation actions. We also review root causes and update policies to prevent recurrence.

Annual Review and Governance

We commit to an annual review of this modern slavery statement and associated policies. The review is overseen by senior leadership and informed by audit outcomes, incident reports and evolving legal obligations. The annual review cycle ensures the continuous strengthening of anti-slavery controls across house clearance services in Cricklewood and nearby localities. Our governance framework assigns responsibility for implementation and monitoring to named executives.

Commitments and Next Steps

House Clearance in Cricklewood will continue to refine risk assessment tools, expand supplier audits and enhance training for front-line teams. Key actions include:

• Regular supplier audits and improved due diligence procedures.
• Enhanced training for staff on identifying modern slavery indicators.
• Maintaining secure, anonymous reporting channels and rapid incident response.
• An annual publicised review of performance and policy updates.

Through these measures, Cricklewood clearance services reaffirm a strong ethical stance: no tolerance for modern slavery. We remain vigilant, transparent and committed to continuous improvement to protect workers, clients and the wider community.
