Modern Slavery Statement — Stoke Newington House Clearance

Stoke Newington House Clearance is committed to a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in all its forms. This modern slavery statement sets out how our house clearance Stoke Newington operations, trading partners and supply chain are monitored, managed and continuously improved. We recognise our responsibility to identify and address risks of exploitation across our services and our localised Stoke Newington clearance services activities.

Our policy is clear: we will not tolerate slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or in any contractor or supplier relationships. This applies to every person who works on behalf of Stoke Newington House Clearance, including employed staff, temporary workers and subcontractors. We provide training to staff to recognise signs of exploitation and to ensure reporting routes are accessible and effective.

Supply Chain Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We perform robust supplier due diligence and periodic supplier audits to ensure compliance with our standards. Our supply chain checks and audits include:

• Risk assessments for new and existing suppliers, with emphasis on high-risk roles and services.
• Document verification and contract clauses that require adherence to our anti-slavery expectations.
• On-site audits and remote reviews of subcontractors providing house clearance Stoke Newington services.

Audit results inform remediation plans. Where non-compliance is detected, we require immediate corrective actions and monitor progress until issues are resolved. For serious breaches, including evidence of forced labour, we will terminate the relationship and, where appropriate, report to relevant authorities.

Supplier Standards and Expectations

We require suppliers to demonstrate their own policies and practices to prevent modern slavery. Expectations are communicated at onboarding and reinforced through contractual obligations, supplier workshops and periodic reassessments of labour practices in the wider clearance industry in Stoke Newington and surrounding areas.

Our reporting channels are designed to be safe, confidential and accessible. Employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. We maintain multiple reporting avenues, including anonymous reporting mechanisms, internal escalation paths and established procedures for investigating allegations promptly and fairly.

Reports are triaged by a designated compliance lead and investigated according to a documented protocol. Where exploitation is suspected, we prioritise the welfare of the affected person(s), cooperate with law enforcement and human rights organisations, and apply remedial measures to prevent recurrence. We emphasise support for those impacted and remedial engagement with implicated suppliers.

Our house clearance in Stoke Newington teams receive targeted training on spotting modern slavery, appropriate intervention steps and the use of reporting channels. Staff are encouraged to use the channels without delay and to treat information sensitively.

Governance, Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

Leadership at Stoke Newington House Clearance takes accountability for implementing this policy. We maintain records of due diligence, audits, training and reports, and review them as part of our governance processes. Strong internal controls and regular management oversight ensure that commitments translate into practical control measures across our operations.

Key performance indicators are used to measure progress, including audit completion rates, remediation timelines and training completion. We also monitor risk indicators in the supply chain and adapt our audit frequency and depth in response to evolving risks.

Annual Review and Public Accountability

We conduct an annual review of this modern slavery statement and related policies to ensure they remain effective and aligned with best practice. The annual review examines results from supplier audits, incident reports, training outcomes and stakeholder feedback to refine our controls. Updates are made where necessary to strengthen our zero-tolerance stance and to improve supplier engagement and monitoring.

To conclude, Stoke Newington House Clearance is committed to eradicating modern slavery in its operations and within its supply chain. Through clear policies, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a formal annual review process, we aim to lead by example in the local clearance sector and to protect the rights and dignity of all workers connected to our activities.
