Modern Slavery Statement for House Clearance Dulwich

House Clearance Dulwich is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms within our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy and the practical steps we take to identify, prevent and remedy potential modern slavery risks across our Dulwich clearance services and associated activities.

Our Commitment and Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance approach to any form of forced labour, child labour, or human trafficking. All employees, contractors and partners engaged in Dulwich house clearance work are required to adhere to our standards. House Clearance Dulwich enforces contractual clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery laws and expect suppliers to operate ethically and transparently.

Scope and Responsible Parties

This modern slavery statement covers all activities undertaken by House Clearances Dulwich and subcontractors acting on our behalf. It applies to staff, temporary workers, third-party vendors, waste handlers and any partner involved in house-clearance activities. We assess risk by role, geographic exposure and supplier profile to target our prevention efforts.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Our supplier management programme includes ongoing due diligence, contractual requirements and regular supplier audits. We prioritise audits for suppliers that pose higher risk due to labour intensity or third-party labour use. Audit activity for suppliers and subcontractors includes:

• Pre-engagement checks on labour practices and right-to-work documentation;
• Periodic on-site and remote supplier audits focusing on working hours, pay, recruitment fees and living conditions;
• Contract clauses that allow for corrective action plans and termination where serious non-compliance is found.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We provide multiple reporting channels so concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and confidently. Employees and third parties are encouraged to report suspicions or incidents through anonymous internal reporting mechanisms, or via direct line management. All reports are treated with confidentiality and investigated promptly. We maintain a policy of non-retaliation to protect whistleblowers and encourage transparency across all Dulwich house clearance operations.

Training and Awareness

Staff receive ongoing training on recognizing signs of exploitation and the correct steps to report concerns. Training is tailored for field crews, office staff and procurement teams to ensure everyone involved with house-clearance dulwich services understands their responsibilities and the practical indicators of modern slavery.

Monitoring Effectiveness

To measure the effectiveness of our actions we log incidents, audit outcomes and training completion rates. Data is reviewed at management level and used to refine our risk assessments and supplier selection for future Dulwich clearance projects. Continuous improvement is central to our compliance programme.

Remediation and Corrective Action

When non-compliance is identified we implement proportionate remediation steps. These can include supplier improvement plans, worker remediation, contractual remedies and, where necessary, contract termination. Our approach balances rapid protection for affected individuals with lasting corrective measures to remove systemic risk from the supply chain.

Governance and Accountability

Senior management at House Clearance Dulwich is accountable for implementing this policy. Responsibilities include oversight of supplier audits, review of reported incidents and ensuring appropriate resources for training and compliance activities. We require all suppliers to acknowledge and sign our anti-slavery requirements prior to engagement.

Annual Review and Transparency

This modern slavery statement is reviewed at least once every 12 months to ensure our policies, supplier audits, reporting channels and remediation processes remain effective. The annual review evaluates progress, updates risk assessments and sets objectives for improvement across our Dulwich clearance services and related operations. By maintaining vigilance and a zero-tolerance stance, House Clearance Dulwich aims to prevent modern slavery and protect vulnerable individuals in every aspect of our work.
