House Clearance Gipsy Hill Modern Slavery Statement

House Clearance Gipsy Hill is committed to the highest standards of ethical behaviour and respect for human rights across our operations. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach to preventing slavery, trafficking and forced labour in our business and supply chain. We apply a zero-tolerance policy to any form of exploitation and are dedicated to continuous improvement in our Gipsy Hill house clearance services.

Our core values require that every member of the Gipsy Hill clearance team acts with integrity. We recognise the risks associated with house clearance in Gipsy Hill and surrounding areas and actively assess those risks in our activities. House Clearance Gipsy Hill promotes fair working conditions, lawful wages and voluntary employment across all suppliers, sub-contractors and partners.

Policy and Expectations

We maintain a clear policy: no modern slavery, no human trafficking, and no forced or bonded labour. This policy applies to all employees and every supplier that supports our Gipsy Hill house-clearing services. We require suppliers to commit to the same standards through contractual clauses and written assurances. Our statement is supported by internal training, mandatory declarations and visible leadership from senior management.

We operate a programme of supplier due diligence and supplier audits proportionate to the level of risk identified. Audits include documentation checks, site visits where appropriate, and interviews to confirm compliance with labour standards. When onboarding new partners, our procurement process evaluates labour practices, right-to-work checks and contractual commitments to the eradication of exploitation.

Monitoring, Controls and Remediation

Monitoring includes routine and unannounced checks, review of payroll and working hours, and verification of health and safety compliance. If any issue is identified, House Clearance Gipsy Hill will require corrective action plans and will support remediation for affected workers. We reserve the right to terminate contracts where suppliers fail to remedy breaches or where exploitation is established.

To reinforce standards we provide targeted training for our staff and contractors on how to identify signs of modern slavery, how to act, and how to record concerns. We use scenario-based sessions specifically tailored for house clearance operatives, drivers and administrative staff involved in the Gipsy Hill house clearance sector.

We have established clear reporting channels to encourage prompt and safe disclosure of concerns. Reporting channels include internal hotlines, designated safeguarding officers and confidential mechanisms for workers to raise issues without fear of retaliation. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and escalated to senior management where needed.

Practical Measures

• Pre-contract checks: identity, credentials and right-to-work verification for all workers and contractors.
• Supplier audits: risk-based reviews of suppliers and sub-contractors.
• Contract clauses: mandatory anti-slavery terms in all procurement contracts.
• Training: ongoing awareness and role-specific training for frontline staff.
• Whistleblowing: secure and confidential reporting routes for concerns.

We commit to transparency and continual improvement. An annual review of this modern slavery statement will be undertaken to reflect changes in our risk profile, the effectiveness of our controls and any legislative developments. The review will include an assessment of supplier audit outcomes, any incidents and corrective actions taken, plus updates to training and procurement procedures.
