Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Norbiton

House Clearance Norbiton affirms a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across all our operations. This modern slavery statement applies to our entire team, subcontractors and supply chain partners engaged in house clearance in Norbiton and surrounding areas. We are committed to preventing exploitation by embedding responsible practices into our everyday work and making sure our Norbiton house clearance services respect human rights and legal requirements.

Our Commitment and Scope

We operate with a clear standard that all staff and suppliers must follow. This includes recruitment practices, working hours, pay, and safe working conditions. The House Clearance Norbiton team requires that everyone involved in removals, disposal, recycling and storage adheres to these principles. We aim to identify and mitigate risks linked to illicit labour, deceptive recruitment and unlawful subcontracting.

To enforce these standards we use a combination of supplier onboarding checks and regular supplier audits. Our due diligence covers:

• Verification of employment documentation and right-to-work checks;
• Contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards;
• Periodic site inspections and audit questionnaires.

These measures are part of how our house-clearance Norbiton operations maintain transparency and accountability.

We expect every contractor and sub-contractor to operate to the same high standards. All suppliers must sign our supplier code of conduct before undertaking work. Breaches are taken seriously: failure to cooperate with audits or evidence of forced labour can result in contract termination and formal investigation.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Our supplier audits combine desk-based checks with on-site visits where appropriate. Audits focus on payroll verification, hours worked, subcontracting arrangements and worker interviews. We use risk-based frequency for audits — higher risk suppliers receive more frequent and thorough reviews. Audit findings are logged, and corrective action plans are set with clear deadlines and follow-up reviews to ensure remediation.

Training for staff and management is a core element of prevention. All operational staff receive training on spotting signs of exploitation, and line managers are trained in escalation procedures. We maintain clear policies on whistleblowing and non-retaliation to encourage staff to report concerns without fear. Our internal training records and refresher courses are documented to ensure consistency across the Norbiton house clearance team.

Reporting channels are accessible and secure. Workers and third parties can raise concerns through anonymous reporting mechanisms and line management. We emphasise multiple reporting pathways to accommodate different comfort levels and languages. Reports are investigated promptly by a nominated compliance lead and we take appropriate remedial action where necessary.

We cooperate with law enforcement and regulatory bodies when potential offences are identified, and we will support victims through appropriate referral pathways. Our approach to remediation is victim-centred and aims to restore rights, ensure safety and pursue corrective action with suppliers when abuses are found. Transparency and timely response are essential to our approach.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually by senior management to evaluate effectiveness and adapt to emerging risks. We publish lessons learned internally and refine our supplier audit procedures, onboarding checks and training programmes accordingly. The House Clearance Norbiton management team is committed to continuous improvement, ensuring our policies remain robust, proportionate and aligned with best practice in preventing modern slavery.
