Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Alperton
House Clearance Alperton is committed to operating ethically and with respect for human rights in every activity. This statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our Alperton operations and supply chains. We recognise that as a provider of house clearance in Alperton and related services, we have a responsibility to maintain the highest standards of worker welfare, procurement practice and corporate governance.
Our policy is clear: we have a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery. All employees, contractors and partners engaged in house clearance alperton work must comply with our standards. Key commitments include:
- Ensuring fair pay and legal working hours for all personnel involved in Alperton house clearance services.
- Prohibiting forced labour, child labour and unlawful deductions from wages.
- Maintaining recruitment practices that respect dignity and consent.
We expect suppliers and subcontractors who provide goods or services to House Clearance Alperton to uphold equivalent standards. Supplier contracts include clauses that require adherence to our anti-slavery principles and allow for compliance checks. Where risks are identified, we implement corrective action plans and reserve the right to terminate relationships that cannot meet our standards.
Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
Our due diligence programme addresses the specific risks associated with house clearance activities in the local area. We screen suppliers during onboarding and periodically thereafter, focusing on areas with higher vulnerability to exploitation. This process includes document verification, reference checks and requests for evidence of lawful employment practices. Audit activities are proportionate to risk and may be undertaken in person or remotely.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We provide multiple reporting channels so concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and confidentially. These channels are accessible to employees, subcontractors and third parties involved in Alperton house clearance operations. Reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly. Where appropriate, matters are escalated to senior management and corrective or protective action is taken without delay. We encourage the use of anonymous reporting where individuals fear reprisal.
To support transparency, we maintain records of reported incidents, investigations and outcomes. This documentation informs future risk assessments and supplier audits, and helps us to refine our processes to prevent recurrence. All records are managed in accordance with data protection and confidentiality obligations.
Training and capacity building are central to our approach. Staff and contractor induction programmes include modules on recognising signs of modern slavery, lawful recruitment practices and the correct use of reporting channels. We emphasise the role each person plays in keeping our operations free from exploitation. Regular refresher training ensures awareness remains current across the organisation.
Monitoring includes ongoing supplier performance reviews and targeted audits of high-risk areas within our supply chain for house clearance Alperton projects. Audit outcomes are used to drive improvement: non-compliance triggers remedial plans, supported by on-site assistance or further training where appropriate. Persistent non-compliance results in contract termination.
We conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our policies to ensure they remain effective and aligned with evolving risks and legal obligations. The review examines incidents, audit findings, training effectiveness and stakeholder feedback. Outcomes from the annual review inform updates to procurement criteria, contractual terms and operational practice to strengthen protections against exploitation.
House Clearance Alperton will continue to refine its approach, integrating lessons learned and responding to changes in the regulatory and risk environment. We remain firmly committed to the eradication of modern slavery within our operations and those of our suppliers. Through vigilant procurement, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a formal annual review process, we aim to safeguard the rights and dignity of everyone involved in our services.
Signed and approved by senior leadership as an expression of our ongoing and enforceable commitment to combat modern slavery across all aspects of Alperton house clearance services.
