Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Ealing Commitment
At Flat Clearance Ealing we declare a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking in any form. This statement sets out our commitment to preventing forced labour, exploitation and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. We recognise our responsibility as a local Ealing flat clearance provider to act ethically and transparently and to ensure that workers are treated with dignity and respect.
We operate as a professional flat clearance in Ealing service, routinely assessing risk and embedding anti-slavery principles into daily business practices. Our approach includes clear policies, staff training and written codes of conduct that reinforce our stance. All team members are trained to spot signs of exploitation and are encouraged to act if concerns arise.
As part of our process for Ealing flat clearance operations we maintain robust procurement standards. Our supplier selection criteria require documentation that confirms lawful employment practices and proof of compliance with applicable labour laws. We undertake due diligence on new suppliers and contractors, and we maintain records to show the measures taken to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our supply chain.
Supplier Audits, Monitoring and Controls
We conduct periodic supplier audits and targeted checks for higher-risk providers used in flat clearance and waste disposal. Audits combine documentation review, site visits where feasible, and questionnaires that assess working hours, wage practices and recruitment methods. Audits are prioritised by risk profile, focusing on suppliers that provide manual labour or operate in sectors with known vulnerabilities.
Our supplier audits include the following actions to strengthen compliance:
- Verification of identity and right to work documentation for employees provided by contractors;
- Review of employment contracts, pay records and working hours for anomalies;
- Interviews and spot checks where safe and appropriate to confirm working conditions.
Where issues are identified we require corrective action plans, monitor progress and, when necessary, terminate relationships with suppliers that refuse to remedy breaches. Our escalation process ensures that significant violations trigger immediate suspension and further investigation.
Reporting Channels and Continuous Improvement
We provide secure, confidential reporting channels for staff, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports can be made without fear of retaliation, and allegations are investigated promptly, impartially and thoroughly. We maintain a clear whistleblowing protocol and ensure anonymity where requested.
Employees and colleagues involved in our Ealing flat-clearing services are informed of the reporting process, and we promote awareness through regular briefings and refresher training. Our leadership team takes all reports seriously and ensures appropriate remedial steps and support for affected individuals.
This statement is reviewed annually as part of our governance cycle. Each review evaluates the effectiveness of our controls, audits and training programmes, and identifies actions for improvement. The annual review process includes an assessment of risk by service type — including flat clearance, furniture removal and recycling — and updates to supplier due diligence procedures where necessary.
In summary, Flat Clearance Ealing is committed to the eradication of modern slavery from our operations and those of our partners. We maintain a zero-tolerance stance, conduct supplier audits, operate secure reporting channels and perform an annual review to strengthen our policies and actions. Through these measures we aim to ensure that our Ealing flat clearance services are delivered ethically, safely and with full respect for human rights.
