Modern Slavery Statement — Wandsworth House Clearance

Wandsworth House Clearance is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking or exploitation in the provision of our house clearance services in Wandsworth and surrounding areas. Our commitment extends to every variation of our core service: Wandsworth house clearance, Wandsworth clearance and broader removals and disposal activities.

We expect the same high standards from all third parties, suppliers and contractors engaged by Wandsworth House Clearance. Our suppliers must comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes explicit requirements to prohibit exploitative labour practices and to maintain records demonstrating lawful and ethical employment. In line with our zero-tolerance policy, any breach by a supplier may result in immediate termination of the contractual relationship.

Our due diligence program is proportionate to the size and nature of our operations. For high-risk relationships we undertake enhanced screening and verification. This includes identity and right-to-work checks for subcontracted teams, financial and ethical checks on disposal partners, and verification of working conditions where feasible. We also evaluate the sourcing of materials and the environmental disposal chain for potential indicators of exploitation to ensure a safe and ethical supply chain for house clearance Wandsworth work.

Supplier audits are a core mechanism for ensuring compliance. Wandsworth clearance suppliers are subject to regular audits — either remote reviews or on-site inspections where necessary. Audit criteria include payroll transparency, contractual terms for workers, subcontractor management, and health and safety standards. Audits are risk-based and prioritise suppliers involved in manual labour, waste disposal and recycling, where vulnerabilities to modern slavery are greatest.

We maintain clear reporting channels to enable employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made internally to our designated compliance lead or through anonymous channels established for whistleblowing. All reports are taken seriously, investigated promptly and documented. Strong protections are in place for whistleblowers, and corrective actions are tracked to closure.

Our training program supports early recognition and prevention. Staff involved in collections, transport and supplier management receive mandatory training on the signs of modern slavery, safe recruitment practices and how to escalate concerns. Training materials include scenario-driven guidance specific to house clearance Wandsworth contexts and emphasise the zero-tolerance stance that underpins our operations.

We publish clear contractual terms to reinforce obligations. Contracts with suppliers and subcontractors include clauses requiring compliance with all applicable employment laws, prohibition of forced labour, rights to audit and obligations to remedy non-compliance. Remediation plans are tailored, monitored and, where necessary, escalated to contract termination to protect vulnerable workers and uphold our standards.

Our monitoring framework uses key performance indicators to measure effectiveness. These KPIs include the number of supplier audits completed, training completion rates, incident reports received and remediation outcomes. We use this data to identify trends and to strengthen supplier controls in areas where risks are elevated for Wandsworth house-clearance activities.

Wandsworth House Clearance conducts an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies. The review assesses risk, evaluates the effectiveness of due diligence and audit programs, and updates training and contractual documentation as required. Findings from the annual review are used to refine supplier engagement strategies and improve our prevention measures across the business.
