Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement — House Clearance Queens Park

House Clearance Queens Park is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This statement sets out our position and the steps we take to identify, prevent and manage the risk of forced labour and exploitation across our house clearance services in Queens Park and related supply chains. We operate a zero-tolerance policy to any form of modern slavery and expect all suppliers and contractors to meet the same high standards.

Our scope covers direct employees, agency workers, contractors and third-party suppliers that support our Queens Park house clearance operations. We recognise that risks can arise in labour-intensive activities such as manual handling, clearance labour and waste disposal. To address these risks we maintain clear recruitment procedures, verify right to work and ensure fair pay and working conditions. The House Clearance teams are trained to spot warning signs and to escalate concerns in a timely manner.

We have a robust zero-tolerance policy which means any credible allegation of modern slavery is investigated promptly and can lead to disciplinary action or termination of supplier relationships. Our policy is explicit: exploitation, forced labour, withholding of wages, document retention without consent and deceptive recruitment are unacceptable. Suppliers engaged in house-clearance Queens Park activities must comply with our code of conduct and the terms set out in contracts and purchase orders.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We conduct risk-based due diligence across our supply chain to identify where exploitation risks are greatest. This includes background checks on suppliers, verification of subcontractors, and assessing geographic and sector-specific exposures. Our procurement process incorporates modern slavery screening questions and requires evidence of lawful employment practices. For higher-risk suppliers we implement enhanced controls and monitoring.

Supplier audits are a central part of our approach. These audits combine document review, on-site inspections when practicable, and interviews with workers to confirm working hours, wage records and recruitment practices. We run scheduled and unannounced audits where risks are elevated. Audit outcomes are recorded, and corrective action plans are required for any non-compliance. Repeat failures may result in suspension or permanent removal from our approved supplier list for Queens Park house clearance work.

Reporting Channels and Worker Protection

We provide multiple reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and confidentially. These include:

• Internal reporting: employees and contractors can report through line managers or nominated compliance officers.
• Anonymous reporting: a secure whistleblowing channel maintained for staff and third parties to raise concerns without fear of retaliation.
• External escalation: where appropriate, we will engage with enforcement agencies and support access to specialist victim support services.

We emphasise worker protection and remediation. If exploitation is suspected or confirmed, we prioritise the safety and welfare of affected individuals, working with local authorities and specialist organisations to ensure immediate protection, access to medical and legal support, and fair remedial action. Our approach is victim-centred and seeks long-term redress where required. Training for staff involved in Queens Park house clearance includes recognising signs of trafficking and the correct steps for escalation.

Contractual safeguards reinforce our expectations: supplier agreements require compliance with anti-slavery obligations, permit audits and impose termination rights for breaches. We include clauses obliging suppliers to ensure their own subcontractors comply with modern slavery standards. Continuous monitoring, data collection and supplier engagement help reduce prevalence and improve transparency across the house clearance supply chain.

Annual review: we undertake a yearly review of our modern slavery policy, risk assessments, audit findings and training outcomes. This annual review measures effectiveness, updates mitigation plans and sets targets for improvement. Findings are used to refine our processes for the following year, including changes to procurement criteria, audit frequency and awareness programs. House Clearance Queens Park remains committed to continuous improvement and to publishing an annual statement that transparently summarises progress and planned actions.
