Hampstead House Clearance Modern Slavery Statement

Hampstead House Clearance is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines our policy, actions and expectations. We operate with a zero-tolerance approach and require every colleague, contractor and partner to act with integrity and respect for human rights throughout every Hampstead home clearance project.

Our approach to Hampstead house clearance compliance is guided by clear governance. Senior management leads on modern slavery risk assessment and remediation, and our Board reviews progress annually. We ensure that our policies are communicated to staff through training and internal guidance so that everyone understands the indicators of exploitation and the immediate steps to take if concerns arise.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy that applies to forced labour, debt bondage, child labour and any form of exploitation within our house clearance operations and extended supply chain. This policy is embedded into contracts with suppliers and partners. For our Hampstead clearance services, we require explicit contractual commitments to ethical labour standards and the right of audit to verify compliance.

To ensure compliance we conduct regular supplier due diligence and audits. Our supplier audits focus on labour practices, working hours, wage compliance and recruitment procedures. Audits include documentary review, interviews and site visits where appropriate. We prioritise suppliers for review based on risk criteria such as geographic location, service type and historical performance in Hampstead clearance projects.

Our supplier audit process includes:

• Pre-engagement screening and risk assessment;
• Contractual obligations that mandate adherence to anti-slavery standards;
• Periodic on-site and remote audits with corrective action plans;
• Termination procedures for non-compliant suppliers.

We also implement staff training and awareness measures. All employees involved in procurement, operations and site management receive targeted training on recognising signs of modern slavery and the correct escalation pathways. Workers are encouraged to report any suspected abuses without fear of reprisal.

Reporting channels are a critical component of our response framework. Hampstead clearance teams and partners may report concerns confidentially through multiple secure mechanisms. We provide anonymous reporting channels, a dedicated internal compliance escalation route and a process for escalating urgent matters to senior management. All reports are investigated promptly and by trained personnel.

When an allegation is substantiated, our response may include immediate protective measures for victims, cooperation with authorities, corrective action with suppliers, suspension of problematic contracts and disciplinary action against employees. We document every step of the investigation and communicate outcomes to relevant stakeholders while preserving confidentiality.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We commit to an annual review of our modern slavery policies, supplier audit outcomes and training effectiveness. This review is presented to senior leadership and informs updated risk assessments, resource allocations and improvements to our due diligence processes. The review cycle ensures that our Hampstead clearance operations remain aligned with evolving legal requirements and best practice.
