Finchley House Clearance Modern Slavery Statement
Finchley House Clearance (also referred to as Finchley house clearance in this statement) is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, child labour and any form of exploitation. This document outlines our approach, responsibilities and the steps we take to ensure vulnerable workers are protected.Our Commitment and Scope
We commit to ethical procurement and responsible employment practices across every aspect of our house clearance services. Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Finchley clearance teams, and to third parties that provide goods, transport or recycling services. We expect the same standards from our partners and we will not tolerate breaches of human rights.
Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
We carry out regular risk assessments and supplier audits to identify and mitigate the risk of modern slavery. Our due diligence includes pre-contract checks, site visits and review of payroll, working conditions and recruitment practices. Where risks are identified we implement targeted audits and corrective action plans, and we reserve the right to terminate contracts for serious or persistent violations.Finchley house clearance services maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and confidentially. Staff and partners are encouraged to use designated reporting routes to report suspected slavery or trafficking. Reports are investigated promptly and impartially, with protections for whistleblowers. We ensure that anyone raising concerns faces no retaliation and that allegations are escalated appropriately.
Training and awareness are essential to enforcement. All employees receive regular training on modern slavery risks relevant to house clearance Finchley operations, recognising signs of exploitation and how to report concerns. Our procurement and site management teams complete specialist training on supplier checks, documentation review and ethical sourcing so they can spot red flags in recruitment or subcontracting.
To strengthen compliance we require all suppliers to adhere to our supplier code of conduct, which sets out labour standards, working hour limits and health and safety expectations. Key measures include:
- Mandatory supplier self-assessment and documentation checks
- Periodic on-site supplier reviews and worker interviews
- Contract clauses allowing audits, remedial actions and termination
We operate clear remediation processes when breaches are identified. Finchley House Clearance will work with affected workers, suppliers and relevant authorities to ensure victims receive appropriate support and that systemic issues are addressed. Persistent non-compliance may result in contract termination and referral to law enforcement where necessary. Enforcement of standards is a core part of our approach.
Monitoring and continuous improvement are embedded in our governance. We use a combination of internal KPIs, supplier audit results and incident reporting metrics to measure progress. Our leadership team reviews these metrics regularly to ensure policies remain effective. Transparency and accountability drive our improvement cycle.
In conclusion, Finchley house-clearance reaffirms its zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery. We will continue to perform supplier audits, maintain robust reporting channels, provide workforce training and undertake an annual review of our modern slavery statement and practices. The annual review will assess risk profiles, audit outcomes and training effectiveness and will be used to update policies and actions for the year ahead.
