Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Forest Hill

House Clearance Forest Hill confirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations. This modern slavery statement sets out our policies, due diligence processes and ongoing actions to ensure that our house clearance in Forest Hill, and any related services, are free from exploitation.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. All employees, contractors and partners must adhere to these standards. Our commitment is to identify, prevent and mitigate the risk of forced labour, human trafficking and other forms of coercion across every stage of our work.

We require that all suppliers and subcontractors providing Forest Hill house clearance services meet our ethical standards. Our supplier code of conduct specifies expectations on working conditions, wages, age verification and the right to leave employment. Compliance is mandatory for any organisation engaged by House Clearance Forest Hill.

To verify compliance we conduct supplier audits and regular checks. Audits include documentation review, site visits, worker interviews where feasible and risk-based assessments. Our procurement team assesses suppliers during onboarding and at defined intervals thereafter.

Key elements of our audit and assurance programme include:

• Risk-based supplier screening and due diligence;
• Periodic on-site supplier audits and self-assessment questionnaires;
• Contract clauses requiring adherence to anti-slavery standards.

We promote transparent reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely. Employees, contractors and third parties involved in house clearance in the Forest Hill area can use confidential internal reporting routes. We also encourage anonymous reporting where necessary to protect whistleblowers.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Our reporting channels are clearly communicated to staff and partners. Reports can be raised through internal compliance lines, direct line managers or via secure anonymous mechanisms. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly by our compliance team.

We provide training to staff and operatives on recognising signs of modern slavery and how to respond. Training is tailored to roles involved in Forest Hill house clearances and to those who manage supplier relationships. This supports early detection and rapid action when issues arise.

Supplier audits are supported by corrective action plans where issues are identified. We work collaboratively with suppliers to remediate breaches, but we will terminate relationships where critical violations are not addressed effectively.

Risk Assessment and Continuous Improvement

We maintain a risk register that captures potential exposure to modern slavery across our operations, including seasonal and subcontracted crews used in Forest Hill house clearance work. This informs our targeted monitoring and audit frequency.

Our procurement policies require written assurances from suppliers, regular verification and documentation of labour practices. Strong contractual safeguards are in place to protect workers and to ensure accountability throughout our supply chain.

The Board of House Clearance Forest Hill reviews this modern slavery statement annually. As part of our annual review, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, update risk assessments, and refine training and audit schedules. We commit to ongoing improvement and transparency in tackling modern slavery.

In summary, our approach combines prevention, detection and remediation. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy, conduct routine supplier audits, provide clear reporting channels and perform an annual review to measure progress and strengthen our controls. These measures apply to all variations of our service branding, including Forest Hill house clearance and house clearance in Forest Hill offerings.

This statement is issued to affirm our resolve to eradicate modern slavery from our operations and from the activities of those providing goods and services to House Clearance Forest Hill. We will continue to evolve our practices to reflect emerging risks and best practice within the sector.
