Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Hampstead

Flat Clearance Hampstead publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to affirm our commitment to preventing all forms of modern slavery within our operations and supply network. As a specialist in flat clearance Hampstead and related property services, we recognise our responsibility to operate ethically and transparently. This statement sets out our policies, actions and expectations to ensure the rights and dignity of everyone involved with our business are protected.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across every element of our work. Our stance applies to direct employees, agency staff and contractors engaged by Flat Clearance in Hampstead, as well as to third-party suppliers and sub-contractors. All personnel must comply with our code of conduct and any breach will result in disciplinary action or contract termination.

This statement covers our financial year and is applicable to every part of the business, from collection and removal services to storage and disposal. We adopt a risk-based approach and have identified key areas where modern slavery risks are higher, including manual handling, low-skilled labour supply and outsourced transportation. To mitigate those risks we have introduced clear procedures and controls, including supplier onboarding checks and regular supplier monitoring.

Supplier Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Our supplier due diligence process ensures that prospective and existing partners meet our standards. We conduct pre-engagement checks, request written assurances, and require documentation that demonstrates compliance with labour laws. Supplier audits form a central part of our compliance programme: auditors perform site visits, review employment records and interview workers where appropriate. Audit outcomes influence contract renewals and future engagement.

We use a combination of scheduled and spot audits to keep supplier performance under continuous review. Audit findings are recorded and tracked, with corrective action plans required where deficiencies are identified. Key measures include:

• Verification of wage records and working hours;
• Confirmation of voluntary employment and absence of recruitment fees;
• Health, safety and welfare assessments;
• Documented remediation actions and timelines.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Flat Clearance Hampstead provides multiple reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and confidentially. We encourage anyone who suspects modern slavery in our operations or among our suppliers to report via internal escalation routes. Reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly by trained personnel. We do not tolerate retaliation against reporters and offer support to witnesses and victims.

To strengthen transparency, we maintain an internal incident register and document investigations, outcomes and remedial steps taken. Where cases are substantiated we work with law enforcement and relevant authorities, supporting victim recovery and taking legal and contractual action against those responsible. We also engage external experts and NGOs when specialist assistance is required.

Training, Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

All staff at Flat-clearance in Hampstead receive regular training on modern slavery risks, recognition and reporting procedures. Management training focuses on supplier management, audit interpretation and remedial planning. We review our policies annually and update training materials as new risks or regulations emerge. Performance indicators include audit pass rates, number of incidents reported, and corrective action completion within agreed timelines.

Our governance arrangements allocate responsibility for modern slavery compliance to senior management. The board reviews significant findings from supplier audits and investigations, ensuring accountability and resource allocation for remediation. We expect the same high standards from all partners in the supply chain and will terminate relationships where suppliers fail to address critical non-compliances.

In conclusion, Flat Clearance Hampstead is committed to combatting all forms of modern slavery. We will continue to implement a robust programme of supplier audits, promote accessible reporting channels and pursue continuous improvement. This statement demonstrates our ongoing dedication to ethical flat removal, property clearances and the protection of workers across Hampstead and surrounding communities.

We conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement, updating our policies, risk assessments and supplier audit plans to reflect new intelligence and best practice. By maintaining vigilance, enforcing a clear zero-tolerance policy and collaborating with partners, Flat Clearance in Hampstead strives to eradicate exploitation from its operations and supply chains.
