Modern Slavery Statement — Blackheath House Clearance

Commitment to eradicating modern slavery — Blackheath House Clearance and associated Blackheath house clearance teams publish this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our firm position. We operate a zero-tolerance policy to any form of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour or labour exploitation in our operations and supply chain.

Our statement applies to all people working for us, including permanent staff, temporary workers, contractors and partners engaged in house clearance Blackheath or Blackheath clearance services. We expect all suppliers, subcontractors and business partners to uphold the same standards, reflecting our view that compliance with human rights obligations is non-negotiable.

To ensure those expectations are met, we have implemented clear governance and accountability. The senior leadership team in House clearance Blackheath takes responsibility for the strategy, oversight and resourcing necessary to prevent modern slavery. We maintain documented policies and procedures that explain our stance and the actions we will take in response to concerns.

Supplier due diligence and procurement are central to our approach. We operate a risk-based supplier management programme that includes contractual clauses, pre-engagement checks and ongoing monitoring. Supplier audits are carried out where risk indicators are present or where suppliers play a critical role in our operations.

Our supplier audits follow a structured process that includes:

• Verification of employment documentation and working conditions;
• Assessment of recruitment practices and fee policies;
• On-site inspections, interviews and document reviews;
• Remediation plans for any non-compliances found and follow-up checks.

These supplier inspections complement internal controls and training. House clearance Blackheath teams receive training on recognising signs of exploitation and the correct steps to escalate concerns to management.

We promote clear reporting channels for employees and third parties to raise concerns. Reports can be made through internal line managers, designated compliance officers or confidential whistleblowing routes. All reports are treated seriously, assessed promptly and investigated in a timely, fair and sensitive manner.

The reporting framework ensures anonymity where requested and protection from retaliation. We encourage early reporting and maintain records of incidents and outcomes to enable learning and improvement across our Blackheath clearance and house clearance Blackheath operations.

Our remedies include working with suppliers to implement corrective actions, and where necessary terminating relationships with organisations that refuse to comply with acceptable standards. We will also cooperate with law enforcement and regulatory bodies when criminal activity is suspected.

Monitoring, effectiveness and continuous improvement

We measure the effectiveness of our approach using key performance indicators such as number of supplier audits completed, corrective actions implemented and staff trained. We also review reported incidents and review outcomes to strengthen controls and prevent recurrence.

Annual review and governance

Blackheath House Clearance undertakes an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies. The review includes evaluation of audit findings, training records, risk assessments and remediation progress, and it informs updates to processes and resource allocation.

By publishing this statement, Blackheath House Clearance confirms its ongoing commitment to human rights and responsible procurement in Blackheath house clearance services. We will continue to adapt and strengthen our systems to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chain.

Signed on behalf of the senior leadership team, this statement reflects our policy and the practical steps we take to prevent modern slavery across our operations, including all aspects of Blackheath clearance activities. We maintain transparency about our approach and will report on progress as part of our annual governance cycle.

All employees, contractors and suppliers are expected to familiarise themselves with this policy and co-operate fully with audits, investigations and remedial measures designed to uphold our standards. Our zero-tolerance stance means decisive action will follow any substantiated breach.

We reaffirm our pledge to continuous improvement, effective supplier audits, safe and confidential reporting channels, and an annual review process that keeps the fight against modern slavery central to our business values.
