Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Chessington

House Clearance Chessington confirms its unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. This statement applies to all personnel involved in our Chessington house clearance activities and to our partners who provide goods and services to support house clearance in Chessington. We set out our approach, expectations and actions taken to identify, prevent and respond to any incidence of exploitation, coerced labour or trafficked workers.

Our policy is clear: we operate a zero-tolerance policy to any form of modern slavery in the provision of house clearance services Chessington-wide. This extends to temporary labour, contractors, sub-contractors and third-party suppliers. We expect every supplier and partner to share this standard and to comply with local employment laws, ethical recruitment practices and safety requirements. Our compliance measures are designed to be proportionate to risk and focused on continuous improvement.

Zero-Tolerance and Corporate Responsibility

Zero tolerance is not rhetoric; it is embedded in our procedures and decision-making. We require contractual assurances from vendors that they do not engage in forced labour, child labour or human trafficking. We will terminate relationships where credible evidence of modern slavery is confirmed and will pursue remediation in collaboration with relevant authorities. House clearance in Chessington must be delivered with respect for human rights and dignity.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We maintain a risk-based supplier audit programme for our Chessington house clearance chain. Audits combine documentation reviews, on-site inspections where feasible, and third-party verification for higher-risk suppliers. Our due diligence process includes checks on recruitment practices, payroll compliance, working hours and grievance mechanisms. We screen new suppliers and periodically reassess existing partners to ensure ongoing compliance with our ethical standards.

Audit outcomes inform corrective action plans and, where necessary, contract suspension. We apply a measured approach: for minor breaches we require remedial steps and monitoring; for severe or systemic abuses we will cease engagement and report to appropriate enforcement bodies. This includes collaboration with law enforcement and charities where victims require support and protection.

To support transparency and continuous improvement we publish summary findings of our supplier reviews internally and use them to inform procurement choices. We also build capacity among partners through training and shared resources, so they can meet expectations for ethical supply of goods and services for Chessington house clearance roles.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing: We encourage anyone who suspects modern slavery to report concerns through our secure reporting channels. Reports can be made confidentially and without fear of retaliation. All allegations are logged, triaged and investigated by trained staff. We will take protective measures for those affected and cooperate with investigators. Reporting channels are designed to be accessible and confidential and to ensure that concerns about any Chessington house clearances are evaluated promptly.

Training, Communication and Remediation: We deliver regular training to employees and contractors to raise awareness of indicators of exploitation and to reinforce reporting obligations. We also require suppliers to provide comparable training to their workforces. Where exploitation is discovered we prioritise victim support and remediation, including safe removal from harmful situations and coordination with victim services. Annual review processes ensure lessons are learned and responses improved.

Annual Review and Board Oversight: The effectiveness of this Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every 12 months by senior management and the board. The annual review evaluates policy performance, audit findings, training uptake and incident responses, and updates our strategy accordingly. As providers of Chessington house clearance and related services, we reaffirm our commitment to eradicate modern slavery, to work with partners who share our values, and to maintain robust controls to protect vulnerable individuals.
