Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Barking

House Clearance Barking is committed to operating responsibly and with integrity. This Modern Slavery Statement explains our zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery and human trafficking across our Barking house clearance operations. We set clear expectations for our employees and partners, and we will not tolerate forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, or any other form of exploitation in our supply chain or day-to-day services.

Our core commitment is enforced through policies, training and oversight. The Barking house clearance team receives regular education on how to spot the signs of abuse. We require all employees to adhere to our Code of Conduct and to report concerns immediately. To support transparency and accountability, we maintain documented procedures that detail worker rights, working hours, and fair pay standards for anyone engaged in our house clearance in Barking.

We apply robust due diligence to suppliers and subcontractors. Our procurement process for house clearance Barking services includes risk assessments and background checks. We require suppliers to confirm compliance with our anti-slavery standards and to provide evidence of lawful employment practices. As part of these checks, we:

• verify identity and right to work;
• review employment contracts and payment records;
• assess recruitment and onboarding processes.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We perform scheduled and ad hoc supplier audits to ensure continued compliance. Audits are a combination of document review, site visits and interviews with staff where appropriate. If concerns arise during an audit of a Barking house clearance supplier, we will act swiftly to remediate issues or suspend relations. Our supplier audit program is risk-based and prioritises higher-risk partners for more frequent checks.

Corrective actions are tracked until resolved, and persistent non-compliance results in termination of contracts. We also encourage suppliers to implement their own prevention and remediation procedures. We expect all subcontractors working with House Clearance Barking services to mirror our commitments and to cooperate fully with investigations.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide secure, confidential reporting channels for staff, suppliers and members of the public to raise concerns about modern slavery. Reports can be made internally through our designated safeguarding officers and anonymous reporting mechanisms. All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly by trained personnel. We maintain protections against retaliation and ensure complainants receive appropriate follow-up and support.

Remediation processes are victim-centred and seek to restore rights, provide compensation where appropriate, and prevent recurrence. We will cooperate with enforcement agencies and support affected individuals, focusing on safety, legal access and welfare support. Our approach to remediation aligns with international best practice and the values of the Barking house clearance community.

We maintain a continuous improvement approach. The House Clearance Barking compliance team reviews policies, audit outcomes and reported incidents to identify trends and systemic issues. Findings lead to targeted training, policy updates and changes to supplier selection criteria. We communicate expectations clearly to all parties and reinforce our zero-tolerance policy at every contractual stage.

Annual Review: This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every year. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of due diligence, audit activity, reporting channels and remedial actions. Results of the review inform our strategic plans and training programmes for the coming year. We remain committed to continually strengthening our anti-slavery measures across all House Clearance Barking operations and related services.
