Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Rotherhithe

Flat Clearance Rotherhithe confirms its unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms throughout our operations and supply chains. This modern slavery declaration sets out our approach to identifying, assessing and mitigating risks linked to forced labour, debt bondage and exploitation. Our Rotherhithe flat clearance teams, contractors and partners are required to adhere to a clear code of conduct and we publish this statement to make our stance transparent.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery across every part of our business. Flat clearance services in Rotherhithe are delivered only by personnel who have been vetted and trained, and by suppliers who meet our ethical standards. The policy mandates immediate action if any instance of forced labour, exploitation or servitude is suspected. We will terminate relationships with suppliers who breach our standards and will, where appropriate, support legal action to protect victims.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We maintain a structured due diligence programme for all contractors and suppliers engaged in flat-clearance rotherhithe operations. This includes pre-engagement checks, periodic audits and contractual clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery laws. Our supplier audit process examines recruitment practices, payment records and working conditions to ensure no person is subject to coercion or unlawful restriction of movement.

Audits are risk-based and proportionate. We carry out physical inspections and remote assessments, and we require corrective action plans where gaps are found. Typical audit elements include:

• Verification of right to work and labour documentation
• Review of payroll, wage payments and deductions
• Interviews with workers to confirm voluntary employment

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Flat Clearance Rotherhithe provides several confidential reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery. Staff and third parties can report suspected incidents anonymously. Reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly by senior management. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and take steps to support any individuals identified as victims, including referral to appropriate support services and authorities.

We also encourage suppliers to maintain their own whistleblowing mechanisms. Where incidents are verified, we apply a remediation plan and assess whether contractual relationships should continue. Our approach is to prioritise victim protection, ensure remedial action and prevent recurrence.

We incorporate modern slavery risk criteria into procurement, contracting and supplier management. Contracts for Rotherhithe flat clearance include clauses that allow for audit rights and termination for non-compliance. Training for staff and subcontractors is mandatory and refreshed periodically to reflect changes in law and best practice. We emphasise due diligence on recruitment agencies, labour providers and sub-contractors to reduce the risk of exploitation in our supply chain.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our modern slavery statement is reviewed at least annually. During each review we evaluate audit outcomes, reported incidents, policy effectiveness and training uptake. We set measurable objectives for the coming year to strengthen supplier audits, increase transparency and improve reporting responsiveness. This annual review ensures our anti-slavery action plan remains effective and responsive to emerging risks in the flat clearance sector in Rotherhithe.

Commitment and Accountability

Flat Clearance Rotherhithe is committed to continuous improvement and accountability. We will continue to report on progress and maintain open oversight of our supply chain. Our commitments include: robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, strict zero-tolerance enforcement and a formal annual review cycle. Together, these measures demonstrate our firm resolve to eradicate modern slavery in every aspect of our flat clearance operations across Rotherhithe.
