Belgravia House Clearance Modern Slavery Statement

At Belgravia House Clearance we set out a clear and unequivocal stance: we have a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and any form of forced labour across our operations. This Belgravia house clearance statement outlines the steps we take to prevent exploitation in our business, supply chain and relationships with partners. Our commitment is proactive, transparent and continually reviewed.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Approach

Belgravia house-clearance teams are instructed and empowered to act in accordance with our policy. We require all staff, contractors and subcontractors to abide by our standards, and we make clear that any breach of this zero-tolerance policy will result in immediate investigation and disciplinary action, up to and including termination of contracts.

We operate a structured programme of supplier due diligence and supplier audits to identify and mitigate risks. This includes initial onboarding checks, risk-based site visits and regular compliance reviews. Our procurement procedures require suppliers to confirm they comply with labour, immigration and health and safety laws, and to provide evidence where requested.

Key audit and assessment activities include:

• Verification of worker right-to-work documentation and fair pay practices
• Review of recruitment processes to prevent debt-bonded or coerced labour
• Assessment of working hours, accommodation and welfare provisions

Reporting Channels and Confidential Whistleblowing

We maintain clear and accessible reporting channels for concerns related to modern slavery. Workers, suppliers and third parties can raise issues through our confidential reporting mechanisms. Reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly by our compliance team. We guarantee that anyone raising a genuine concern in good faith will not suffer any form of retaliation.

Our Belgravia House Clearance procurement team conducts risk-based supplier audits and spot checks. Suppliers identified as higher risk receive enhanced scrutiny, corrective action plans and follow-up audits. Where suppliers fail to meet our standards and do not implement remedial measures, we will suspend or end the commercial relationship.

We also provide training to employees and line managers on recognising signs of modern slavery and exploitation. This training includes how to use the reporting channels and the responsibilities of staff in protecting vulnerable workers. Training is refreshed at regular intervals and adapted to reflect emerging risks.

Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

Our governance framework ensures accountability for these commitments. The board and senior management review modern slavery risk at least annually and receive updates following audits and reported incidents. We record findings, actions taken and improvements made as part of our continuous improvement cycle.

Annual Review and Statement Publication

Each year we undertake an annual review of our policies, procedures and performance related to modern slavery. The review evaluates the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting channels and internal controls, and sets objectives for the coming year. Findings of the annual review inform changes to procurement criteria, audit frequency and training content.

In closing, the leadership of Belgravia house clearance services reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery in all its forms. We will continue to strengthen our supplier audits, support safe and confidential reporting, and ensure an ongoing annual review to enhance our capability to detect and deter exploitation.
