Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Greenwich Commitment
Flat Clearance Greenwich is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations and supply chain. This statement explains our approach to ethical practice in residential clearance services, including flat clearance in Greenwich, apartment removals and related waste handling. We recognise the responsibility to protect vulnerable workers and to operate with zero tolerance towards any form of forced labour, exploitation or coercion.
Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded in company values and communicated clearly to staff, contractors and partners. All colleagues and subcontractors engaged in Greenwich flat clearance work are required to adhere to these standards. We emphasise strong recruitment checks, lawful employment contracts and fair pay practices to reduce the risk of modern slavery within our teams and during property clearances.
We extend the zero-tolerance principle across our supply chain. Suppliers, waste carriers and third-party labour providers who support our flat clearance Greenwich operations must sign contractual clauses that prohibit any form of modern slavery. Our procurement process includes risk screening and contractual remedies, and we will terminate relationships where suppliers fail to resolve identified breaches.
Supplier audits and due diligence
To maintain transparency we operate a structured supplier audit programme. These audits evaluate labour practices, working conditions and documentation for proof of lawful employment. Audits are scheduled based on risk level, with higher-risk suppliers subject to more frequent and detailed review. Supplier assessments include on-site checks where practical and document reviews where on-site access is limited.
Our supplier audit process includes:
- Verification of recruitment and payroll records to ensure workers receive agreed wages and benefits.
- Checks on working hours and conditions to identify signs of coercion or restriction of movement.
- Interviews and confidential channels for workers to raise concerns safely.
Where audits identify non-compliance, we apply corrective action plans, set clear remediation timelines and monitor progress. Persistent non-compliance triggers escalation and may lead to contract termination. These measures are designed to protect workers across the supply chain for apartment clearance in Greenwich and surrounding areas.
Reporting channels and protections
We maintain multiple reporting channels so employees, suppliers and third parties can raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports may be made through internal line managers, nominated compliance officers or via secure, anonymous reporting routes. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly.We guarantee non-retaliation and confidentiality for individuals who report concerns in good faith. Whistleblowing protections are emphasised during staff training and supplier communications, and we offer support measures to affected workers while investigations proceed. Our approach aims to make reporting accessible, safe and effective for everyone involved in residential clearance Greenwich operations.
Training and awareness form a core part of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in Greenwich flat clearance receive regular training on recognising the indicators of exploitation, how to respond, and the reporting processes available. We also provide guidance to procurement teams on assessing supplier risk and integrating anti-slavery clauses into contracts.
Annual review and continuous improvement — We review this modern slavery statement and our policies at least once a year to reflect evolving risks and legislative developments. The annual review evaluates the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting channels and remediation actions, and sets measurable objectives for the coming year.
Key performance measures include the number of supplier audits completed, incidents reported and resolved, and improvements made to procurement processes. Lessons learned from investigations inform enhanced controls across all areas of our flat clearance services in Greenwich, including subcontractor management and staff training.
In conclusion, Flat Clearance Greenwich is committed to a proactive, transparent and accountable approach to preventing modern slavery. Through a clear zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a formal annual review process, we aim to safeguard workers, uphold ethical standards and continually improve our compliance with anti-slavery obligations across the business.
