Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance New Cross

House Clearance New Cross is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach, acknowledging that our New Cross clearance services and subcontracted partners must comply with the highest ethical standards. We operate a zero-tolerance policy on any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking within the business or among suppliers.

Our commitment as a New Cross house clearance provider extends to recruitment, work conditions and fair pay. We require all employees and contractors to adhere to our Code of Conduct, and we reinforce that compliance through training, written agreements and ongoing supervision. Key roles are responsible for ensuring that home clearance teams understand the signs of modern slavery and know how to respond.

As part of our duty as a reputable home clearance New Cross operator, we have implemented clear reporting channels so anyone—employees, subcontractors, clients or members of the public—can raise concerns. Reports can be made confidentially via our secure internal reporting system, anonymous whistleblowing options and by communicating directly with our compliance lead. All allegations are taken seriously, logged, and investigated promptly with protection for whistleblowers.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Enforcement

The zero-tolerance policy for modern slavery is actively enforced across our New Cross clearance services. Any confirmed breach results in immediate remedial action, which may include termination of employment or contracts, referral to law enforcement, and full cooperation with statutory authorities. We commit to transparency in enforcement while protecting confidentiality where appropriate.

To support enforcement, we conduct mandatory staff training and communicate expectations to third parties. Our teams performing property clearances in New Cross receive regular briefings on recognising indicators such as withheld identity documents, unusually controlled workers, or signs of coercion. Staff are trained to escalate suspicions without delay and to prioritise safety and confidentiality.

Supplier standards are an integral part of our ethics. We require suppliers engaged for waste removal, disposal, labour provision or materials handling to comply with our anti-slavery terms. Contracts include clauses that prohibit forced or compulsory labour and require suppliers to allow audits and remedy findings.

Supplier Audits, Monitoring and Annual Review

We operate a structured supplier audit programme for all vendors used in New Cross house clearance operations. Audits combine self-assessment questionnaires, documentary checks and periodic on-site inspections where risk indicators are present. Non-compliance triggers corrective action plans and follow-up reviews until issues are resolved.

Our monitoring framework includes:

• Risk-based supplier assessments to prioritise higher-risk partners;
• Contractual requirements that include anti-slavery provisions and termination rights;
• Regular audits and spot checks as appropriate to the service or material handled;
• Remediation processes to address and rectify any findings swiftly.

We will review and update this Modern Slavery Statement annually. The review process includes an assessment of incidents, audit outcomes, training completion rates and improvements to reporting channels. Each year we set measurable objectives to reduce risk across the supply chain and document progress.

In summary, as a responsible provider of clearance services in New Cross and surrounding areas, House Clearance New Cross maintains a firm stance against modern slavery. We combine a zero-tolerance approach, robust supplier audits, clear reporting routes and a transparent annual review cycle to mitigate risks and promote ethical practice across our operations and subcontractors.

Our ongoing priorities include strengthening supplier due diligence, enhancing staff training, expanding anonymous reporting mechanisms and publishing the outcomes of our annual review where appropriate. Through these actions we aim to ensure that every aspect of our New Cross house clearance work meets the highest standards of human rights and worker protection.

Signed on behalf of the management team: this statement reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and to eradicating modern slavery from our business and the wider clearance services market.
