Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Blackwall

House Clearance Blackwall is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy and the practical measures we take to reduce risk in our house clearance in Blackwall activities. We recognise that the nature of house clearance and waste handling means we must be vigilant about labour exploitation and must maintain robust standards.

Our commitment to ethical practice is embedded in company culture and governance. We require all staff and contractors to understand that exploitation is unacceptable and to act if they suspect abuse. As a provider of Blackwall house clearance services we include anti-slavery clauses in contracts and make clear that any breach will result in immediate action, including termination of relationships. We emphasise training, records and ongoing supervision.

We comply with relevant legislation and international principles. Our approach to modern slavery covers recruitment, on-site behaviour, subcontracting and the supply of materials and labour. We maintain clear policies on working hours, pay, and the right to work, and we require verification of identity and entitlement to work for all employees and sub-contractors. Our house-clearance Blackwall teams are trained to spot signs of coercion, withholding of documents or other indicators of trafficking.

Policy, Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, and this is reflected in our procurement strategy. All suppliers and partners are subject to pre-qualification checks and ongoing supplier audits. Key elements of our supplier audits include:

• Verification of employment practices and payroll records
• Checks on recruitment agents and subcontractors
• Assessment of health and safety and accommodation standards where provided
• Review of contractual terms that require compliance with anti-slavery laws

Supplier audits are risk-based: higher-risk suppliers receive more frequent and detailed inspections. We use documentary review and, where necessary, site visits to ensure compliance. Where non-compliance is identified we require corrective action plans and follow-up audits, and we reserve the right to suspend or terminate contracts with suppliers that fail to remediate.

Reporting Channels and Worker Protection

We maintain multiple secure reporting channels so that concerns relating to modern slavery can be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. This includes anonymous reporting, a dedicated internal hotline, and escalation pathways to senior management. Our reporting policy emphasises confidentiality and protection, and any allegation is investigated promptly and thoroughly.

Employees and contractors working on house clearance in Blackwall are made aware of how to use reporting channels during induction and through regular briefings. We encourage third parties and members of the public to report suspected exploitation via our internal processes. Allegations trigger immediate risk assessments and, where appropriate, referral to authorities and specialist support services to protect potential victims.

We also maintain robust record-keeping to support investigations, including employment records, supplier audit reports and training logs. Our internal whistleblowing and safeguarding procedures ensure that anyone raising concerns is supported. We actively promote a culture in which raising concerns is regarded as an essential part of maintaining safe and legal operations in every Blackwall house clearance project.

Monitoring and continuous improvement are central to our strategy. We set performance indicators to track compliance, the number of supplier audits completed, training completion rates, and the number of reported incidents and their resolution. Senior leadership reviews these measures regularly and takes responsibility for remedial actions.

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement to ensure policies remain effective and reflect changing risks in the sector. The review process includes evaluation of supplier audit outcomes, assessment of reported incidents, and consultation with staff and external experts. Where improvements are identified we update policies, training and controls.

In summary, House Clearance Blackwall (and our Blackwall house clearance operations) operates a clear and enforceable approach to preventing modern slavery: a zero-tolerance policy, targeted supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and a formal annual review to drive continuous improvement. We believe that maintaining rigorous standards protects workers, strengthens our services and upholds the integrity of the industry.
