Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Earls Court

Flat Clearance Earls Court is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach, the controls we apply to suppliers, our reporting channels and our commitment to an annual review of policies and performance. We recognise our responsibility as a local clearing and waste management provider to ensure that every person involved in providing goods and services is treated with dignity and fairness.

We use the term flat clearance in Earls Court to describe our daily services and in this statement we set out how those services are governed to reduce the risk of exploitation. Our policy applies to all colleagues, contractors, suppliers and third-party partners engaged in any aspect of property clearance, removal, recycling and related logistics.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance position on modern slavery. This means:

• No tolerance for forced or bonded labour at any tier of our supply chain.
• Immediate investigation of credible allegations and decisive action when breaches are found.
• Protection for whistleblowers and support for affected individuals, including referral to appropriate support services where needed.

Supplier Expectations and Due Diligence

All suppliers to Flat Clearance Earls Court are required to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct which mandates compliance with labour laws, safe working conditions and ethical recruitment practices. We include specific clauses in our procurement contracts to allow audits and termination of agreement in cases of non-compliance. Our approach to supplier due diligence includes:

We take a risk-based approach to evaluating suppliers providing materials, vehicle hire, storage, and subcontracted clearances for Earls Court properties. High-risk suppliers are subject to enhanced checks, including the submission of employment records, work permits where relevant, and documented compliance with wage and hour laws.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Audits form a central pillar of our anti-slavery controls. Our audit program comprises:

• Documentary review and self-assessment questionnaires.
• On-site inspections and worker interviews for higher-risk suppliers.
• Follow-up corrective action plans and monitoring until issues are resolved.

Earls Court flat clearance operations are monitored to ensure that contractors do not use exploitative labour practices when assisting with house clearances, tenancy turnovers or estate clean-ups.

We promote responsible procurement by prioritising suppliers with transparent labour practices and by working collaboratively to improve standards across the flat-clearance Earls Court sector. Training is provided to procurement staff and operational managers to recognise indicators of modern slavery and to implement remedial measures quickly.

Our reporting channels are designed to be accessible and to protect confidentiality. Staff and third parties can raise concerns through internal reporting lines, an anonymous whistleblowing facility and escalation to senior management. All reports are investigated thoroughly, with the option to refer matters to the appropriate authorities if criminal conduct is suspected.

We maintain clear procedures for handling reports, including risk assessment, immediate safeguarding of potential victims, and remediation plans for workers affected by malpractices. These processes are documented and reviewed after each case to strengthen our response.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Flat Clearance Earls Court reviews this Modern Slavery Statement at least once a year. The annual review includes evaluating audit findings, assessing supplier performance, updating training materials and refining reporting mechanisms. We set measurable objectives and key performance indicators to drive continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery across our services.

As part of our commitment to transparency and responsibility we will continue to enhance our controls and work with partners across the industry to eradicate exploitation. This statement will be approved by senior leadership and communicated internally to ensure consistent application across all Earls Court flat clearance activities.
