Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Cranford

House Clearance Cranford is committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our approach to anti-slavery due diligence, reflecting our firm belief that exploitation has no place in our business, whether providing house-clearance Cranford services or working with contractors and partners.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. All employees, contractors and suppliers engaged with cranford house clearance activities must adhere to our standards. We will not knowingly support or deal with any organisation involved in slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. This policy applies to everyone in our value chain and is embedded in our culture through training and leadership.

Scope and Risk Assessment

We conduct ongoing risk assessments tailored to house clearance in Cranford operations and associated services. Key risk areas include labour-supply contractors, waste disposal partners and temporary workforce providers. Our approach combines supplier questionnaires, direct engagement and on-site checks to identify vulnerabilities. We use a mix of qualitative and quantitative measures to rank risk and prioritise audits.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Supplier due diligence is central to how we manage risk. For every new supplier to our House Clearance Cranford supply chain we conduct pre-contract checks and background reviews. Existing suppliers are subject to periodic reassessment. We perform formal supplier audits covering employment practices, subcontractor engagement and compliance with labour standards. Audit results feed into corrective action plans and, where necessary, contractual remedies including termination.

Our supplier monitoring includes documentary review, interview-based verification and, for higher-risk partners, on-site inspections. We require evidence of lawful pay, right-to-work documentation and safe working conditions. Where deficiencies are identified we work collaboratively to remediate issues within agreed timeframes and escalate persistent non-compliance.

House-clearance Cranford contractors must sign our anti-slavery clauses and accept that breaches will lead to penalties or cancellation. Strong contractual controls ensure accountability, and we integrate anti-slavery obligations into procurement criteria and supplier scorecards.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain clear and accessible reporting channels so staff, contractors and third parties can raise concerns. Reports relating to suspected slavery or exploitation are treated as priorities. The following reporting channels are available:

• Internal line management escalation for urgent matters
• Designated compliance officer mailbox for confidential reports
• Anonymous whistleblowing mechanism managed independently

Every report is investigated impartially. Victim welfare, confidentiality and protection from retaliation are paramount. We encourage early reporting to enable prompt action and remediation.

Training, Awareness and Continuous Improvement

All staff involved in Cranford house clearance operations receive regular training to recognise signs of exploitation and understand reporting obligations. We provide role-specific guidance to procurement, operations and supervisory teams. Continuous improvement is driven by lessons learned from incidents, audit findings and stakeholder feedback.

Annual Review and Governance

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and the effectiveness of our measures. This review examines policy implementation, audit outcomes, incident handling and training uptake. Findings are reported to senior management and board-level governance to ensure sustained leadership oversight. Key performance indicators include number of supplier audits completed, remediation closure rates and training completion percentages.
