Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance East Ham

Flat Clearance East Ham confirms a clear and unequivocal commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our approach to compliance, risk mitigation and continuous improvement for all East Ham flat clearance activities. We operate with a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking or exploitation and we expect the same standards from all contractors, partners and suppliers involved in flat clearance in East Ham or surrounding areas.

Scope and purpose

Our modern slavery policy applies to all persons working for Flat Clearance East Ham, including full-time and part-time employees, agency staff, consultants, and subcontractors. The statement covers our core services, including flat clearance East Ham services, house clearances and removal of household waste. We are committed to ensuring that no one working for or with us is subject to exploitation, and that our business practices do not facilitate modern slavery.

Zero-tolerance policy and principles

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. Our principles include:

• Prevention — identifying and mitigating risks across our supply chain.
• Protection — safeguarding workers’ rights and supporting victims.
• Proportionate action — investigating concerns and taking decisive action, including contract termination where breaches are found.

These principles guide every East Ham flat clearance project and supplier engagement.

Supplier due diligence and audits

We conduct robust supplier due diligence before onboarding and maintain ongoing monitoring of suppliers that contribute to our flat clearance operations. Our supplier assessment process includes risk-based checks, verification of employment practices and documentation reviews tailored to the nature of the service provided. For higher-risk suppliers we perform on-site audits and require written assurances that labour standards meet our expectations.

Supplier audits and corrective actions

Supplier audits form a core part of our compliance framework. Audits focus on recruitment practices, working hours, wage payments and the general welfare of workers. Where non-compliance is identified we implement a formal corrective action plan, track remediation progress and, if necessary, suspend or terminate relationships with suppliers who do not demonstrate improvement. We document all audit findings and use them to strengthen policies and supplier selection criteria across the flat clearance in East Ham network.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

We provide multiple, confidential reporting channels for employees and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or exploitation. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled with confidentiality to protect whistleblowers. Our internal procedure ensures that allegations trigger a risk assessment, potential suspension of supplier activity and an independent investigation. We emphasise that anyone raising a concern will not face retaliation and will be supported throughout the process.

Training, awareness and employee responsibilities

Training is provided to employees involved in procurement, supplier management and on-site work to help them identify signs of forced labour and exploitation. Staff are instructed on how to use reporting channels, what to do if they suspect abuse, and how to escalate concerns to senior management. Our objective is to create vigilant teams who apply modern slavery awareness across every stage of our flat clearance East Ham operations.

Monitoring, metrics and annual review

We track key performance metrics including the number of supplier audits completed, corrective action outcomes, and reported incidents. An annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and related policies is undertaken by senior management to assess effectiveness, update risk assessments and refine controls. The review informs our continuous improvement cycle and ensures that our practices remain aligned with evolving legal obligations and best practice in the sector.

Commitment and accountability

Flat Clearance East Ham is committed to transparency and accountability. We require all suppliers to adhere to our standards and to cooperate with audits and investigations. Our leadership takes responsibility for enforcing the zero-tolerance policy and ensuring that supplier audits, robust reporting channels and the annual review process remain central to our approach. By embedding these measures into our daily operations, we aim to eradicate modern slavery from our supply chain and provide safe, fair working conditions for all workers engaged in flat clearance services in East Ham and beyond.
