Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Stockwell

Flat Clearance Stockwell is committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to forced labour, exploitation and any practices that undermine human dignity. Our commitment applies to every part of our business, including Stockwell flat clearance operations, contractors, labour supply and any third parties engaged to support our flat clearance services in Stockwell and the surrounding boroughs. We recognise the responsibility to act ethically and transparently and to take decisive measures to reduce the risk of modern slavery.

Scope and Purpose

This policy covers all colleagues and suppliers engaged by Flat Clearance Stockwell, including temporary staff, subcontractors and partner organisations. Our scope includes the full range of services: flat clearance in Stockwell, disposal, recycling and resettlement services. We require suppliers to meet clear standards and to operate in compliance with applicable laws and with our expectations for human rights. Every supplier must accept our terms and demonstrate verifiable practices that protect workers and ensure fair conditions.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Reporting

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery. Any instances or credible concerns will trigger immediate action, including suspension of contracts and termination where required. To support this, we maintain multiple reporting channels so staff and third parties can raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Our reporting mechanisms include an internal whistleblowing route, a secure email pathway for allegations, and escalation to senior management where appropriate. Key reporting channels include:

• Anonymous internal reporting hotline and safe reporting forms
• Direct escalation to our compliance lead for human rights issues
• Referral to appropriate authorities if criminal conduct is suspected

We carry out robust supplier audits and site verifications as part of our due diligence. Audits assess compliance with labour standards, recruitment practices, wage payment, working hours and health and safety. Where risks are identified, corrective action plans are implemented and monitored. Our supplier audit process for Stockwell clearance providers includes document reviews, worker interviews, and on-site inspections. In contracts we mandate clear anti-slavery clauses and the right to audit. We will suspend ordering from suppliers who fail to demonstrate timely and effective remediation.

Recruitment and procurement practices are designed to minimise risk. We avoid suppliers who charge excessive recruitment fees or use opaque labour brokers. Our procurement teams are trained to recognise red flags and to apply screening checks. We use contractual obligations, supplier self-assessments and periodic audits to maintain standards. Where improvements are required, we provide support and expect measurable progress within agreed timeframes; persistent non-compliance results in contract termination.

Training, Awareness and Employee Responsibilities

All staff involved in the Stockwell flat clearance operations receive training on recognising and reporting modern slavery. Training covers how to spot signs of forced labour during clearances, safe conversations with vulnerable individuals and the use of reporting channels. Managers are held accountable for ensuring teams understand their responsibilities. We also encourage third-party partners to adopt similar training and to share best practice across the sector. The emphasis is on prevention, protection of victims and transparent remediation.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Flat Clearance Stockwell conducts an annual review of our modern slavery policies, supplier performance and the effectiveness of reporting channels. This review informs updates to our risk assessments, audit schedules and training programmes. We publish findings internally and use lessons learned to refine supplier selection criteria and contract terms. Through continual improvement, collaboration with partners and decisive enforcement of our zero-tolerance stance, we aim to reduce risk across our flat clearance services and ensure the highest standards of worker protection.

By implementing rigorous supplier audits, maintaining clear reporting channels, operating a firm zero-tolerance policy and committing to an annual review cycle, Flat Clearance Stockwell seeks to prevent modern slavery in all its forms. We are resolute in protecting human rights in every aspect of our operations and procurement activity.
