Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Hendon

This Modern Slavery Statement is published by Office Clearance Hendon to set out our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. We recognise our responsibility as a local specialist in office clearance Hendon, Hendon office clearance and related services, and we are resolute in ensuring that forced labour, child labour and human trafficking have no place in our activities.

Our organisation operates a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. This means we will not tolerate any form of exploitation within our workforce or among our contractors and suppliers. We adopt a proactive approach including risk assessment, supplier due diligence and contractual obligations that reflect our uncompromising stance. All staff are required to uphold these standards and report concerns through the channels we set out below.

The scope of this statement covers all employees, temporary workers and the supply chain that supports our Hendon office clearance and workplace removal services. To enforce these commitments we conduct supplier audits and structured checks. Key elements include:

• Regular supplier audits and on-site inspections
• Due diligence during onboarding and ongoing monitoring
• Contract clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery laws

This approach to auditing our suppliers is central to reducing the risk of modern slavery in our procurement and operational processes.

Our Approach to Prevention and Remediation

We apply a risk-based approach to procurement and operations for office clearance in Hendon and surrounding areas. Our procurement team screens suppliers for labour risks, evaluates working conditions, and requires evidence of lawful employment practices. We maintain policies and processes that emphasise transparency and accountability. Staff involved in sourcing or subcontracting are trained to identify indicators of exploitation and to take immediate action when concerns arise.

Supplier audits are conducted at agreed intervals depending on risk, typically on a quarterly or annual basis. These audits include document reviews, interviews with worker representatives and reviews of payroll and subcontractor arrangements. Where issues are identified, we require corrective action plans and follow-up audits; persistent non-compliance may lead to termination of relationships. Audit findings are recorded and tracked as part of our compliance framework.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We provide clear reporting channels so that employees, partners and third parties can raise concerns about modern slavery safely and confidentially. Our reporting mechanisms include an internal whistleblowing process, anonymous reporting options and escalation to senior management. We maintain a strict non-retaliation policy to protect those who report in good faith and ensure that all reports are investigated promptly and impartially. Examples of our reporting commitment include:

• Confidential internal reporting to trained officers
• Anonymous submission routes that protect identity
• Prompt investigation and appropriate remedial steps

We are committed to protecting reporters and ensuring their concerns are addressed.

Training, Procurement and Continuous Improvement

All staff engaged in office clearances, removals and procurement in Hendon receive targeted training on modern slavery risks and reporting. We incorporate anti-slavery clauses into supplier contracts and require evidence of their implementation. Our procurement standards prioritise responsible suppliers and seek to build long-term partnerships that promote workers' rights and decent work conditions. We expect our contractors and supply partners to reflect the same values and provide transparent records when requested.

We monitor our performance through key performance indicators, audit results and supplier feedback. Collaborative remediation and capacity building are used to address identified issues, while severe breaches result in contract termination. We also engage with industry bodies and stakeholders to share best practice and strengthen sector-wide responses to forced labour. Continuous improvement is driven by data from our audits, corrective action uptake and regular reviews of policy effectiveness.

This statement is approved by senior management and will be reviewed at least annually to ensure continued effectiveness. An annual review ensures our policies, supplier audits, reporting channels and training remain robust and responsive to emerging risks. By maintaining vigilance and a firm zero-tolerance stance, Office Clearance Hendon reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery across our Hendon office clearance operations and supply chain. We will not tolerate modern slavery in any form.
