Modern Slavery Statement for Flat Clearance Battersea

Our commitment

Flat Clearance Battersea affirms a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across all operations and supply chains. This statement sets out how our Battersea flat clearance teams and contractors identify, prevent and remediate risks. We are committed to ensuring that every element of our flat clearance in Battersea activity is conducted ethically, transparently and with respect for human rights.

We maintain clear governance structures and designated responsibility for anti-slavery due diligence. Key elements include:

• Supplier audits: regular evaluations of suppliers and subcontractors;
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and our policies;
• Employee training to recognise and escalate indicators of exploitation;
• Risk-based checks for new partners used in Battersea clearance and related waste handling.

Supplier due diligence and monitoring

We operate a risk-based supplier audit programme for flat clearance services across Battersea and surrounding areas. Audits combine document review, on-site visits and supplier self-assessment. We prioritise suppliers in higher-risk categories for more frequent and in-depth scrutiny, and we require corrective action plans where gaps are identified.

Our procurement teams apply screening during onboarding and periodically thereafter, ensuring that subcontractors engaged for Battersea flat clearance work meet our standards.

We provide clear reporting channels for workers, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns safely and confidentially. Reports can be submitted through anonymous mechanisms and are investigated promptly by trained personnel. We do not tolerate retaliation; all reports are handled with confidentiality and in line with appropriate investigative protocols. Our whistleblowing approach aims to protect vulnerable workers and preserve evidence for any necessary remediation.

Prevention measures include mandatory clauses in supplier contracts, periodic refresher training for personnel engaged in removals or clearance operations, and the integration of anti-slavery considerations into procurement decisions. We emphasise worker welfare in on-site operations, including verification of eligibility to work and fair payment for services rendered.

Remediation and collaboration form a core part of our approach: when instances are suspected or identified, we take proportionate action that may include suspension of contracts, engagement with authorities and support for affected individuals, consistent with legal and ethical obligations. Flat Clearance Battersea aims to work with partners to correct issues and prevent recurrence.

To strengthen accountability we maintain documented policies and training materials tailored to the waste removal and property clearance sector. All employees and contractors receive induction training covering modern slavery awareness, indicators of exploitation and the process for escalating concerns. Senior management receive detailed briefings on compliance, risk trends and mitigation strategies relevant to flat clearance services Battersea.

Performance metrics include supplier audit completion rates, number of corrective action plans closed, and training completion percentages. These indicators help us measure the effectiveness of our controls and target improvements where necessary. We employ a continuous improvement cycle so that lessons learned inform policy updates and operational changes.

Annual review: This statement and our anti-slavery policies are reviewed at least once a year by senior leadership. The annual review analyses the outcomes of audits, incident investigations and stakeholder feedback to refine our approach. We will update our procedures and supplier engagement practices where the review identifies opportunities to enhance our ability to prevent modern slavery in flat clearance in Battersea operations.

Conclusion: Flat Clearance Battersea remains fully committed to upholding human rights and eradicating any form of modern slavery from our business and supply chains. We will continue to allocate appropriate resources to auditing, reporting channels and remediation measures, ensuring our zero-tolerance stance translates into practical protection for workers and transparent accountability across all clearance activities.
