Hounslow House Clearance — Modern Slavery Statement

Hounslow House Clearance confirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking in the provision of house clearance and related services in the Hounslow area and beyond.

Our commitment

We, as a responsible Hounslow home clearance provider, maintain clear policies and processes that prioritise human rights and lawful employment. All employees and contractors must adhere to standards that prohibit forced labour, unlawful deduction of wages, and restrictions on movement. This statement applies to all business units providing house clearance, estate clearances and associated clearance services.

Scope and accountability

Responsibility for implementing anti-slavery measures sits with senior management and the designated compliance lead. We require regular reporting on compliance matters and enforce disciplinary measures for breaches of our zero-tolerance position. Our procurement, HR and operations teams collaborate to ensure consistent practice throughout the House Clearance Hounslow supply chain.

Supplier audits and due diligence

We conduct targeted supplier audits and pre-qualification assessments to identify and mitigate risks. Audits focus on employment practices, subcontractor arrangements and evidence of legal rights to work. Where risks are identified we require corrective plans and re-audit within agreed timeframes.

• Audit frequency: periodic checks plus new supplier onboarding;
• Audit criteria: worker contracts, payment records, recruitment practices;
• Corrective actions: written action plans, suspension of contracts, termination where necessary.

Our supplier management approach for Hounslow clearance services includes contract clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery laws, right-to-work checks and transparent payroll evidence. We reserve the right to terminate relationships with suppliers who fail to meet required standards or refuse improvement.

Reporting channels are essential to enforcement. Workers, subcontractors and stakeholders can report concerns through our internal reporting process, which allows for confidential and anonymous reports where required. We encourage open reporting and protect whistleblowers from retaliation.

How we respond: all reports are logged, risk-assessed and investigated by an appointed case officer. Findings lead to remedial action, support for affected individuals and review of any contractual or operational changes needed to prevent recurrence.

Training and awareness

All staff involved in operational delivery, procurement or HR receive training on modern slavery risks and recognition. Training materials include practical examples relevant to home clearance and estate clearances in Hounslow and nearby localities to help teams identify warning signs and respond appropriately.

Monitoring, records and performance

We maintain records of audits, training attendance, risk assessments and corrective actions. Regular performance reviews track compliance across our supply chain and inform improvements to our policies. Our approach to continuous improvement helps ensure that House Clearance Hounslow services remain vigilant against exploitation.

Annual review: this Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every 12 months by senior leadership. The annual review evaluates risk exposures, audit outcomes, training effectiveness and any incidents or near-misses. Results of the review inform policy refinements, supplier engagement strategies and resource allocation for compliance activities.

In closing, Hounslow House Clearance reaffirms its ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery across our operations and supply chains. We will continue to enforce our zero-tolerance policy, conduct robust supplier audits, provide clear reporting channels and perform an annual review to ensure our practices remain effective. Together with our partners and people we will seek to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct in all house clearance and clearance service activities.
