Modern Slavery Statement for Palmers Green House Clearance

Palmers Green House Clearance confirms a firm commitment to the elimination of modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations. As a local Palmers Green house clearance provider we recognise our responsibility to maintain ethical practices in every aspect of our work. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach, covering policy, due diligence, supplier engagement and continual improvement.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery. All employees and contractors are required to adhere to clear behavioural standards and must report any concerns. Palmers Green clearance staff receive training that emphasises the importance of ethical conduct, safeguarding vulnerable people, and recognising indicators of exploitation in waste removal and property clearance work.

Our statement applies to the entire supply chain of the Palmers Green clearance company: direct employees, sub-contractors, suppliers of equipment and any third parties engaged on our behalf. We evaluate risks across procurement, logistics and onsite work. We will not tolerate practices that amount to forced labour, debt bondage, or the restriction of movement by employers or agents.

Policies, Standards and Supplier Commitments

Our internal policies set clear expectations: all suppliers and partners must comply with applicable labour laws, demonstrate legal right to work checks and provide transparent employment terms. The Palmers Green House Clearance policy framework includes contractual clauses requiring compliance with modern slavery legislation and the principle of fair treatment for all workers. Breaches of these obligations can lead to contract termination.

Supplier audits form a core part of our compliance programme. We carry out documented risk assessments to identify suppliers in higher-risk categories such as manual removal crews or international logistics. Audits consist of documentation review, site visits where practical, and interviews or questionnaires to verify employment records, payment practices and health and safety procedures.

Key audit checks include:

• Verification of right-to-work documentation and identity checks
• Review of payroll, hours worked and contract terms
• Interviews or questionnaires to assess working conditions

Reporting Channels, Remediation and Continuous Review

We maintain accessible reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. These channels include anonymous reporting options, escalation to senior management, and an internal compliance team that investigates allegations promptly and confidentially. Individuals who report concerns in good faith will be protected from retaliation.

Where instances of non-compliance are identified, Palmers Green House Clearance will take proportionate remedial action. This can include supplier corrective action plans, contract suspension, or termination and support to affected individuals. We aim to remediate harm and, where appropriate, cooperate with statutory authorities to ensure victims receive protection and redress.

An annual review of our Modern Slavery Statement and associated processes is conducted to ensure continuing effectiveness. The review examines audit outcomes, incident reports, training completion rates and changes in our operational footprint or supply chains. Findings are used to strengthen policies, improve supplier engagement and refine risk assessment methodologies.

Governance of this statement rests with senior leadership and is supported by appointed compliance leads. Palmers Green removals and clearance personnel are responsible for embedding these standards in day-to-day activities. Our commitment to combat modern slavery is active and ongoing, and we review our policies at least annually to reflect legal developments, sector best practice and lessons learned from supplier audits.

To summarise, Palmers Green house clearance services are provided under a clear, non-negotiable zero-tolerance stance against modern slavery. We enforce supplier audits, maintain secure reporting channels, and require regular, documented reviews to drive continuous improvement across our business and supply chain.

By maintaining robust due diligence, transparent supplier expectations and a formalised annual review process, Palmers Green House Clearance seeks to prevent exploitation and ensure ethical, lawful practices throughout our operations and those of our partners.
