Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Thornton Heath

Office Clearance Thornton Heath declares a firm commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations. This statement describes the policies and measures we employ in our Thornton Heath office clearance and related services to identify, prevent and remedy any form of exploitation. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and maintain ethical labour standards in every contract and engagement.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking and the exploitation of children. All employees and contractors supporting Thornton Heath office clearance activities are required to adhere to our ethical standards. We use clear contractual clauses to ensure suppliers understand that any breach of these commitments will lead to prompt action, including termination of agreements. This policy is non-negotiable and applies to our entire supply chain.

Expectations of Suppliers and Partners

All suppliers for office clearance in Thornton Heath must demonstrate compliance with employment law and modern slavery requirements. We require supplier confirmations, documented policies and evidence of responsible recruitment practices. Where necessary, suppliers must present records of pay, working hours and subcontractor arrangements. Office clearance suppliers found to be non-compliant will be required to implement corrective plans or face suspension.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Our procurement and compliance teams perform risk-based supplier audits to verify labour standards and working conditions. Supplier audits include documentary checks, interviews and targeted on-site inspections for higher-risk partners involved in Thornton Heath office removals and clearances. Audit results are recorded and actioned through our compliance register to reduce exposure to modern slavery risks.

We follow a tiered due diligence approach that prioritises suppliers based on geography, service type and complexity. Key checks include:

• Verification of identity and right to work for all workers
• Review of pay records, contracts and working hours
• Assessment of recruitment practices and any use of labour intermediaries

These steps ensure a systematic and consistent assessment of risks within the office clearance supply chain.

Reporting Channels

We provide multiple, confidential reporting channels for employees, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports may be made anonymously where preferred, and are reviewed by designated safeguarding officers. Allegations are investigated promptly and proportionately, with protection from retaliation for anyone raising concerns in good faith. We work with enforcement agencies when required.

To support our policies we deliver mandatory awareness training for staff involved in Thornton Heath office clearance operations. Training covers how to recognise signs of exploitation, how to report concerns and supplier obligations. Managers are required to reinforce the zero-tolerance stance during procurements and contract renewals, ensuring consistent application across projects.

Monitoring, remediation and continuous improvement are integral to our governance. We set measurable performance indicators, track audit findings and require corrective action plans where issues are identified. When remediation is needed we prioritise worker-centred solutions and sustained improvements; persistent non-compliance results in removal from our supplier lists. These mechanisms keep our Thornton Heath office clearance services aligned with ethical standards.

Annual Review — We undertake an annual review of our modern slavery prevention measures to evaluate effectiveness, update controls and allocate resources. The review assesses supplier audit outcomes, reporting channel usage, training coverage and improvements delivered through remediation. Findings lead to policy updates and enhanced due diligence procedures for future procurement cycles. Office Clearance Thornton Heath remains committed to strengthening our response to modern slavery and to continuous oversight by senior management.
