Modern Slavery Statement — Putney House Clearance Commitment

Putney House Clearance maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in any form. This Putney home clearance statement sets out our approach to preventing exploitative labour practices across our operations and supply chain. We acknowledge our responsibility to act ethically and transparently and to ensure our Putney property clearance services are provided without contributing to abuse or coercion.

Our zero-tolerance stance is embedded in company policy and operational procedures. All staff and contractors are required to adhere to our standards, and any breaches are treated seriously. We use clear contractual clauses that prohibit slavery and human trafficking and require suppliers to confirm compliance. Putney house clearances are delivered only when these conditions are met, and any suspicion of forced labour triggers immediate investigation.

To maintain ethical supply chain management, we conduct routine supplier audits and risk assessments. These supplier audits include documentary checks, site visits where appropriate and employee interviews. We prioritise suppliers for audits based on risk factors such as origin, sector and subcontracting arrangements. Our supplier audit programme for Putney house clearance services is designed to identify non-compliance early and to remediate issues promptly.

We have implemented procurement policies that require suppliers to provide contractual assurances and evidence of fair working conditions. Our due diligence process incorporates background checks and ongoing monitoring for high-risk suppliers. The procurement team receives regular training on how to spot indicators of forced labour and exploitative recruitment practices when sourcing goods and labour for Putney house clearances.

Putney home clearance operations incorporate staff training, clear reporting channels and responsibilities for escalation. Employees and contractors are informed about the signs of modern slavery and the procedures to report concerns. We use confidential reporting mechanisms and protect whistleblowers from retaliation, ensuring that anyone raising an issue can do so safely and without fear.

Our supplier audits are structured, documented and action-oriented. Typical audit steps include:

• Verification of worker contracts, pay records and working hours
• Assessment of recruitment fees and third-party labour arrangements
• Interviews with workers to assess freedom of movement and consent
• Corrective action plans with time-bound milestones

We maintain multiple reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery, including anonymous options and direct reporting to senior management. Reports are logged, triaged and investigated by a cross-functional team. Where non-compliance is identified, we undertake proportional remediation that may include terminating contracts, implementing corrective measures or referring matters to relevant authorities. Our approach emphasises victim-centred remediation and the prevention of recurrence.

Training and continuous improvement are central to our prevention efforts. Putney house clearances staff receive regular briefings and access to resources to help them identify and respond to risks. We incorporate learning from supplier audits and incident investigations into updated training modules and supplier management practices. We expect our subcontractors and partners to mirror these standards and to cooperate fully with audits and remedial actions.

This statement is reviewed annually and updated to reflect changes in law, industry practice and our operational footprint. The annual review process evaluates the effectiveness of our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels and remedial actions. Performance metrics, audit findings and training outcomes inform continuous enhancement of our modern slavery controls across Putney property clearance and related services. We remain committed to transparency, accountability and the eradication of modern slavery from our operations and supply chains.
