Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Canary Wharf

House Clearance Canary Wharf is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach, policies, and the actions we take to ensure that our house clearance services in Canary Wharf and surrounding areas are free from exploitation. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, child labour, human trafficking and any form of coercion.

Our Commitment and Scope

As a local Canary Wharf house clearance provider, we acknowledge our responsibility to maintain high ethical standards across our workforce and supply chain. This statement covers all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by our company. We require that everyone we work with shares our commitment to ethical working practices and complies with applicable anti-slavery and human trafficking laws.

Zero-Tolerance Policy: We maintain and enforce a strict zero-tolerance position. Any behaviour or practice that could indicate modern slavery — including withholding wages, threats, unreasonable restrictions on movement, or withholding identity documents — will result in immediate investigation and, where substantiated, termination of employment or contractual relationships.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We conduct risk-based supplier evaluations and undertake regular audits of our supply chain. For all significant suppliers and subcontractors involved in house removal, clearance, disposal and recycling, we assess:

• Labour practices and contractual arrangements
• Recruitment and wage payment procedures
• Evidence of right to work and lawful employment
• Health and safety and working conditions

Our supplier audit programme includes desktop reviews, contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards, and on-site checks where risk indicators are present. Supplier audit findings are recorded and action plans are agreed with Canary Wharf clearance service partners to remediate any shortcomings. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate suppliers who fail to correct issues within agreed timeframes.

Training and Awareness

All staff engaged in house clearance activities in Canary Wharf are provided with training to identify risks of modern slavery and to understand reporting procedures. Training is tailored to role, ensuring that operational teams, procurement staff and managers can spot signs of exploitation and respond appropriately.

Reporting Channels: We operate multiple secure reporting channels to encourage the identification and escalation of concerns. Staff, contractors or third parties who suspect modern slavery can raise concerns via internal reporting lines, through management, or anonymously through our whistleblowing mechanism. Reports will be handled confidentially and without retaliation. We investigate all credible reports promptly and proportionately, placing victim welfare and legal compliance at the centre of our response.

The company emphasises support for victims and will cooperate fully with law enforcement and relevant agencies where criminal conduct is suspected. Our response procedures include risk assessment, immediate protective measures, access to support, and steps to prevent further harm.

Policies and Contractual Controls

We embed anti-slavery requirements into our standard terms and contracts for the provision of house clearance and waste removal services. Contracts include clear clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery legislation, the right to audit, and remedies for breach. Internally, our employment policies set out expected conduct, grievance procedures and the rights of workers, reflecting our commitment to safe and lawful employment across our Canary Wharf operations.

Monitoring and Continuous Improvement: We continually review our processes, supplier performance and training effectiveness. Where audits or reports identify gaps, we implement corrective actions, update controls and share lessons learned across the business to reduce risk of recurrence.

Annual Review and Governance: This statement is reviewed at least annually by senior management and the board to ensure it remains effective and aligned with evolving best practice. Progress on supplier audits, training completion, incident investigations and remediation actions is reported to senior leadership, and policy updates are approved to strengthen our anti-slavery controls. Our commitment is ongoing: we will continue to strengthen the integrity of our operations and the wider supply chain for house clearance in Canary Wharf and beyond.
