Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Acton

At Flat Clearance Acton we publish this Modern Slavery Statement to affirm our commitment to combatting all forms of forced labour and human trafficking across our operations. This statement explains our approach to preventing modern slavery in the provision of flat clearance in Acton and in the broader services offered by our team. We operate with a zero-tolerance policy towards exploitation and are committed to continuous improvement of our policies, processes and supplier oversight.

Our scope covers direct staff, contractors and our network of subcontractors engaged for Acton flat clearance assignments, removals, cleaning and recycling. We expect everyone who works for or with our flat-clearance Acton team to adhere to modern slavery obligations and to respect human rights. We require transparency and ethical conduct at every stage of engagement and procurement.

We have instituted clear governance arrangements: senior leadership is accountable for compliance, operational managers oversee day-to-day due diligence, and a dedicated compliance lead supports risk assessment. Risk-based due diligence is applied to all new suppliers and periodic re-assessments are performed to identify and mitigate potential exposure to forced labour.

Policies, Training and Supplier Expectations

Our policies set out standards and expectations for suppliers providing goods and services to our Acton operations. We provide mandatory training for staff involved in procurement and site supervision to recognise signs of exploitation and to understand reporting channels. All employees receive instruction on ethical procurement and whistleblowing protections.

Supplier terms require adherence to our modern slavery principles and include rights to audit compliance. For larger or higher-risk suppliers we execute enhanced checks, contractual clauses and ongoing monitoring. We communicate these obligations clearly to ensure suppliers to flat clearance in Acton meet our standards.

We conduct supplier audits and verification activities proportional to risk, including:

• Document reviews of worker contracts, payroll and recruitment practices
• On-site inspections and interviews where appropriate
• Corrective action plans and follow-up verification

Reporting Channels, Incident Response and Remediation

We maintain safe and confidential reporting channels for concerns relating to modern slavery, and staff are encouraged to use these routes without fear of retaliation. Reports may be raised internally through line management, the compliance lead, or an anonymous reporting mechanism maintained by our organisation. We commit to prompt and sensitive investigation of all allegations and to providing protection for whistleblowers.

When an instance or credible suspicion of modern slavery is identified, we deploy a structured response that includes immediate protection for affected individuals, cooperation with authorities where required, and remediation actions to prevent recurrence. Our approach emphasises victim-centred outcomes and proportional measures to address root causes in supply chains.

We maintain records of investigations, corrective measures and outcomes and use these records to refine risk assessments and supplier management. In cases where suppliers fail to remediate, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships in line with our zero tolerance stance on exploitation.

Transparency and continuous improvement are core to our approach to modern slavery risk management for Acton flat clearance services. We measure the effectiveness of our actions through audit results, training completion rates and the frequency and nature of reports received. We also engage with peers and relevant organisations to stay informed about emerging risks and best practices.

As part of our commitments we will continue to refine supplier audits, broaden awareness across the business and strengthen contractual safeguards. Our flat clearance Acton procedures will evolve to reflect lessons learned from investigations and industry developments. We emphasise collaboration with suppliers to build capacity to eliminate forced labour.

We declare zero tolerance for modern slavery and will maintain a robust programme of prevention, detection and response. This statement sets out our policies and actions and is endorsed by senior management as part of our corporate responsibility to protect human rights in all aspects of our operations.

Annual review: we will review this statement and our processes at least once every 12 months, assessing effectiveness and updating measures such as supplier audits, reporting channels and training. The annual review will consider new risks, regulatory changes and stakeholder expectations to ensure our flat clearance services in Acton remain free from modern slavery.

We will continue monitoring, auditing and improving our practices to prevent exploitation across the supply chain, maintain strong procurement controls, and ensure that our actions deliver tangible protection for workers involved in flat clearance and related services.

By maintaining vigilance, strengthening supplier relationships through audits and enforcement, and supporting open reporting channels, Flat Clearance Acton aims to play an active role in eradicating modern slavery from our operations and those of our partners.
