House Clearance Queens Park Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by House Clearance Queens Park in accordance with applicable modern slavery and human trafficking legislation in the United Kingdom. It sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. As a provider of house clearance and associated services, we recognise our responsibility to act ethically and with integrity in all of our business relationships.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

House Clearance Queens Park has a clear and strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This includes forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, servitude and any form of exploitation or abuse. We will not knowingly engage with or support any business or individual involved in such practices. Our directors and management are committed to ensuring that this stance is embedded in the culture of our organisation and reflected in our day-to-day decisions.

All employees, contractors and suppliers are expected to conduct themselves in a way that upholds human rights and respects the dignity and safety of every person. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts or referral to the relevant authorities.

Our Operations and Supply Chains

Our core operations involve the provision of house clearance, waste removal, recycling and associated services in and around Queens Park. Although we assess our direct risk of modern slavery as relatively low, we recognise that risks may exist within our wider supply chains. This includes suppliers of vehicles, equipment, waste processing, recycling facilities, cleaning products, uniforms and other goods and services.

We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners who share our values and can demonstrate their own commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

To reduce the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains, House Clearance Queens Park applies due diligence procedures when selecting and managing suppliers. These measures include assessing the reputation and ethical track record of potential suppliers, requesting information about their employment practices and confirming that they comply with relevant labour and human rights legislation.

Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits to verify adherence to our standards. These audits may be undertaken by our management team or by competent third parties. We reserve the right to carry out on-site visits, request supporting documentation and seek clarification where any concerns arise. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations and is unwilling or unable to remedy identified issues, we will consider terminating the relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage anyone who works for or with House Clearance Queens Park to speak up if they have any concerns related to modern slavery or human trafficking. Concerns can be reported directly to a line manager, a senior manager or a company director. Reports can be made in person, by telephone or in writing. We will treat all concerns seriously, investigate them promptly and, where appropriate, take corrective action.

We will not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. Employees and workers are assured that they can come forward without fear of losing their job, contract or other benefits, and that their report will be handled sensitively and confidentially as far as practicable.

Training, Awareness and Responsibility

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with the directors of House Clearance Queens Park. They ensure that appropriate policies, procedures and controls are in place and that these are communicated clearly across the business.

We seek to raise awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management and on-site operations. Training and briefings focus on recognising warning signs, understanding our reporting channels and reinforcing our zero-tolerance approach.

Monitoring, Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

House Clearance Queens Park is committed to continuous improvement in our efforts to combat modern slavery. We monitor the effectiveness of our policies and controls through periodic reviews of supplier performance, audit findings, staff feedback and any reported concerns.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually by our directors to ensure it remains accurate, effective and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. As part of this review, we consider any changes to our operations, supply chains and risk profile, and we identify opportunities to strengthen our processes. Updated versions of this statement will be made available to staff, suppliers and interested parties so that our commitment to ethical and responsible business conduct remains clear and transparent.
