Belsizepark House Clearance Modern Slavery Statement

Belsizepark House Clearance is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our policies, procedures and actions to ensure a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking across the company and its supply chain.

Our house clearance teams, sub-contractors and suppliers are expected to adhere to the highest standards of labour rights and fair working conditions. We operate across local and regional markets as Belsizepark clearance services and we recognise our responsibility to ensure that those who provide goods or services to us do so without exploiting workers.

We take a proactive approach to due diligence and compliance. Our policies require contractual commitments from vendors and partners that explicitly prohibit the use of forced labour. These obligations apply to all suppliers engaged by Belsizepark House Clearance and related business units such as Belsize Park house clearance operations.

To reinforce our standards we operate a formal supplier audit programme. Audits assess working conditions, timekeeping, recruitment practices, and subcontracting arrangements. Audit frequency is risk-based: higher-risk suppliers receive scheduled and unscheduled inspections while lower-risk partners are reviewed periodically.

Our supplier audits include the following key checks:

• Verification of employment records and right-to-work documentation
• Review of pay, overtime, and benefit practices
• Assessment of worker accommodation and recruitment fees
• Evaluation of subcontracting and labour hire arrangements

Where non-compliance is identified, we employ a graded response: corrective action plans, close monitoring, and if necessary, suspension or termination of contracts. We expect remediation that prioritises worker protection and restores compliant conditions swiftly.

Reporting Channels, Training and Annual Review

We maintain accessible reporting channels for staff, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical practices. Reports can be made anonymously through internal whistleblowing routes, and all allegations are treated seriously and investigated impartially. Our reporting channels are designed to protect the identity of whistleblowers and to ensure there is no retaliation for raising concerns.

Belsizepark House-Clearance provides regular training for employees and procurement teams to recognise the signs of modern slavery and to understand our responsibilities. Training covers how to use reporting channels, how to handle disclosures, and the obligations of line managers when concerns are raised. We emphasise that everyone within the company has a role to play in preventing exploitation.

We monitor key performance indicators to measure the effectiveness of our actions, including numbers of supplier audits completed, findings and closure of remediation plans. These KPIs inform continuous improvement and are reviewed by senior management as part of our governance processes.

The company undertakes an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies to ensure they remain effective and aligned with evolving best practice. The review examines audit results, training completion rates, whistleblowing metrics and any legislative changes relevant to modern slavery compliance.

As part of continuous improvement, Belsizepark house clearance teams integrate lessons learned from investigations and audits into procurement standards and supplier contracts. We use contractual clauses to require transparency, allow audit rights and set out remediation expectations. Non-compliant behaviour is not tolerated and will lead to contractual and commercial consequences, up to and including termination.

In summary, Belsizepark House Clearance and our Belsizepark clearance business units maintain a clear and robust approach to preventing modern slavery. We uphold a zero-tolerance policy, perform regular supplier audits, offer secure reporting channels, and conduct an annual review to ensure our actions remain effective and proportionate. This statement is made in good faith to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to ethical labour practices throughout our operations and supply chains.
