Modern Slavery Statement — Chiswick House Clearance

Chiswick House Clearance is committed to upholding human rights and preventing modern slavery in all aspects of our operations. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, human trafficking, or exploitation across our services. This statement sets out our approach to identify, prevent and mitigate the risk of modern slavery in our house clearance activities in Chiswick and surrounding areas.

Our company values require that every team member, contractor and supplier understands their duty to report concerns. We emphasise that house clearance Chiswick operations must be conducted with respect for human dignity, safety and legal compliance. Training and awareness are provided to staff to recognise signs of exploitation and to act on those signs immediately.

We publish and enforce clear standards in our supply chain and procurement processes for any Chiswick clearance service we engage. Suppliers and subcontractors are required to accept our ethical code and to demonstrate alignment with our expectations about labour practices. We will not tolerate labour practices that fall below our legal and ethical standards.

Policy, Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We commit to robust due diligence for our suppliers and contractors. Our supplier assessments include checks for right-to-work, fair pay, safe working conditions and transparent subcontracting. Where higher risk is identified, we conduct targeted supplier audits and require corrective action plans. These audits can be documentary, remote or on-site depending on the nature of the risk associated with the supplier and the scale of the engagement.

We maintain a risk-based audit programme specific to house clearance operations. Audit activities include review of payroll records, working hours, subcontractor lists and recruitment practices. If non-compliance is found, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the relationship until remedial measures are verified. Our supplier audit protocols form a central part of how we protect workers and maintain ethical procurement for Chiswick house clearance jobs.

Key elements of our compliance programme include:

• Regular supplier screening and engagement
• Contract clauses requiring adherence to anti-slavery standards
• Audit follow-up, corrective plans and monitoring

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple, confidential reporting channels so that employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports are reviewed promptly by management and escalated where required. Our objective is to ensure that potential instances of exploitation, coercion or trafficking are investigated and resolved effectively.

To support transparency, we encourage internal reporting and independent escalation routes. All allegations are treated seriously; investigations are impartial and documented. When appropriate, we will cooperate with law enforcement and other agencies to ensure victims receive protection and perpetrators are subject to legal action.

Accountability is emphasised through clear roles and responsibilities for senior management in driving our anti-slavery commitments. Our board and leadership team oversee compliance and ensure that sufficient resources are allocated to prevention and response activities.

We review this Modern Slavery Statement annually to ensure it remains effective and aligned with evolving risks in the sector. The annual review examines audit results, complaints and any incidents, revises supplier risk profiles and updates training content. Continuous improvement is central: we adapt policies and controls as required to address new intelligence and regulatory expectations.

Our approach to combating modern slavery is ongoing and pragmatic. We combine prevention through supplier engagement, detection through audits and reporting, and remediation through corrective actions. By embedding these principles across our operations, Chiswick house clearance services aim to deliver ethical and responsible outcomes for clients, workers and communities.

Finally, we reiterate our zero-tolerance policy and reaffirm our commitment to protecting human rights within every stage of the clearance process. We will continue to publish information on our efforts, strengthen supplier oversight and provide clear routes for reporting to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our operations.
