Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Hoxton

Flat Clearance Hoxton is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy for any form of forced labour, child labour or exploitation across our services for flat clearance in Hoxton and neighbouring areas. This statement outlines the steps we take to ensure our Hoxton flat clearance activities are transparent, lawful and ethically managed.

As a specialist in Hoxton flat clearance and related clearance services, we require every member of our team and our partners to adhere to our standards. Our zero-tolerance approach means that any breach of our policies is treated as a serious matter and will result in immediate action, including termination of contracts with suppliers or individuals found to be in violation.

We publish clear expectations for conduct and supply chain behaviour. Our procurement and contracting documents for flat clearance services Hoxton explicitly require compliance with anti-slavery and human trafficking laws. We also require suppliers to confirm, in writing, that they have not engaged in practices amounting to modern slavery and that they maintain appropriate employment records.

To reinforce our commitments, we undertake regular supplier audits and risk assessments. These audits include documentation reviews, site visits where feasible, and questionnaires designed to identify indicators of forced labour in the supply chain for Hoxton clearance projects. Audit outcomes inform corrective action plans and may lead to contractual remedies or termination where necessary.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Our due diligence process focuses on high-risk areas such as temporary labour, subcontractors and suppliers operating in informal economies. We prioritize audits for suppliers engaged in repetitive manual tasks related to clearing flats in Hoxton. Audit findings are tracked, and improvement milestones are established; persistent non-compliance triggers escalation to senior management.

Key elements of our supplier assurance program include:

• Clear contractual anti-slavery clauses for all suppliers and sub-contractors
• Periodic on-site inspections and verification checks
• Mandatory corrective action plans with deadlines
• Training and capacity building for suppliers and staff on recognising exploitation

We provide multiple secure reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery in our operations. Employees, suppliers and third parties can raise issues through anonymous reporting mechanisms, internal compliance hotlines and direct reports to a designated ethics officer. All reports are treated confidentially and investigated promptly.

Reporting Channels and Protection

Reports relating to suspected exploitation in Hoxton flat clearance activities are documented and handled under a formal investigative procedure. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and ensure that any person affected by suspected abuse is offered appropriate support, in line with applicable law and best practice. We encourage vigilance across our workforce and supplier base.

We maintain a programme of training and awareness for staff and contractors engaged in flat removal and clearance work in Hoxton. Training covers the signs of modern slavery, how to respond to disclosures and how to use our reporting systems. This training is one part of our broader compliance framework to ensure safe and ethical operations.

Annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our policies is a cornerstone of continuous improvement. Each year, senior management reviews performance against objectives, audit results, and any incidents or near-misses. The annual review leads to measurable updates to our procedures, additional training where gaps are identified, and enhanced supplier oversight for all flat clearance services Hoxton-wide.

We will continue to work with stakeholders, partners and the local community to strengthen protections against modern slavery. Flat clearance Hoxton recognises that preventing exploitation requires ongoing vigilance, investment in supplier relationships, and a readiness to take decisive action when standards are breached.

By signing off this statement, our leadership reaffirms a corporate culture that refuses to tolerate modern slavery in any form and commits to annual reporting, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a continuous review cycle to protect vulnerable workers in all aspects of our Hoxton clearance operations.
