Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Bermondsey Commitment

Our pledge to ethical flat clearance in Bermondsey

Flat Clearance Bermondsey upholds a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. As a specialist in Bermondsey flat clearance and related removal services, we recognise our responsibility to ensure that every stage of our operations, from collection to disposal, honours the dignity and rights of every individual. This statement sets out the control measures, monitoring arrangements and escalation channels we maintain to prevent exploitation within our workforce and supply chain.

• Policy and governance: Our leadership team endorses a written anti-slavery policy which is communicated to employees and suppliers and reviewed annually.
• Risk assessment: Regular risk mapping of activities related to flat removal in Bermondsey and associated supply chains to identify areas of heightened vulnerability.
• Due diligence: Contractor checks, identity verification and contract clauses that explicitly prohibit slavery and require compliance with labour standards.

We operate a robust supplier audit programme for all contractors engaged in flat evacuation, household clearance and recycling services. Audits combine documentary checks with site visits and interviews, focusing on recruitment practices, wage records, working hours and accommodation where applicable. Our audit outcomes influence supplier onboarding and continuation: non-compliant partners receive corrective action plans, and persistent failure results in contract termination.

Key controls and expectations

Flat removal Bermondsey teams and subcontractors must adhere to clear standards that include the right to freely accept and terminate employment, transparent pay arrangements and safe working environments. We require written agreements that incorporate anti-slavery clauses and grant us the right to audit. Recruitment agencies are vetted to ensure they do not charge fees to workers or impose exploitative conditions.

Our supplier audits are supported by a structured checklist and a risk-scoring model. Audits assess:

• Recruitment and employment documentation
• Payment and wage evidence
• Health and safety compliance
• Accommodation and transport arrangements
• Subcontracting and worker retention practices

We maintain accessible reporting channels for employees, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery allegations. Reports can be made anonymously through our internal whistleblowing process and are treated with confidentiality and urgency. All allegations are investigated by trained personnel and, where necessary, escalated to appropriate authorities. Our staff receive training to recognise signs of forced labour and to understand reporting procedures.

The zero-tolerance approach of Bermondsey flat clearance extends beyond operations: we seek to foster partnerships that share our ethical standards. Contractual terms require suppliers to comply with applicable labour laws and to permit inspections. We also encourage suppliers to adopt their own anti-slavery policies and to participate in best-practice exchanges.

We publish this statement to demonstrate transparency and accountability for our actions. An annual review of our policies, risk assessments, training effectiveness and audit results is carried out by senior management. Findings drive continuous improvement: policy updates, enhanced due diligence measures, targeted training and revised contractual requirements where gaps are identified. The annual review ensures our flat clearance Bermondsey services remain aligned with evolving legal requirements and sector standards.
