Modern Slavery Statement for Office Clearance Woolwich

This statement explains our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our core services and supply chains, including Woolwich office clearance and related workplace removal activities.

Our policy applies to all staff, subcontractors and suppliers engaged in office clearance in Woolwich and surrounding areas. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, servitude, debt bondage, human trafficking or exploitative working conditions. Office Clearance Services Woolwich must be delivered with respect for workers' rights and dignity, and any breach will result in decisive action.

We require every supplier, subcontractor and partner to comply with our standards and to demonstrate proactive steps to eliminate exploitation from their operations. As part of our due diligence process for office clearances in Woolwich, we conduct risk assessments, supplier questionnaires and targeted supplier reviews to identify and address potential risks of modern slavery within the supply chain.

We maintain a robust supplier audit programme focused on high-risk categories and geographies.

Supplier audits and monitoring

Audits combine documentary checks, site visits where appropriate and follow-up investigations. If non-compliance is identified, we require remediation plans, monitor implementation and reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships where satisfactory improvement is not achieved.

Our procurement criteria for Woolwich office clearance contracts include verification of: clear employment contracts, legal working hours and wages, freedom of movement, safe working conditions and transparent recruitment practices. We promote long-term partnerships with suppliers who demonstrate continuous improvement and alignment with our human rights expectations.

We publish a concise code of conduct for suppliers and require signed declarations that their operations and any subcontractors are free from forced labour. Key elements include:

• Prohibition of forced, bonded or compulsory labour
• Verification of payroll and working hour records
• Documented recruitment and subcontracting practices

To support transparency and safe reporting, we have clear reporting channels for concerns related to modern slavery.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

Staff, suppliers and third parties involved in office clearances across Woolwich can raise issues through designated internal routes, anonymous reporting facilities and direct escalation to senior management.

Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and protective measures are applied to safeguard complainants. We emphasise non-retaliation: anyone raising concerns in good faith will be protected. Our reporting framework also guides how to escalate suspected cases to appropriate external authorities when required.

We commit to regular training for employees and procurement teams, ensuring awareness of modern slavery indicators specific to removal and clearance operations. Training includes how to spot signs of exploitation during on-site work, how to verify labour arrangements when engaging third-party removals and how to use reporting mechanisms effectively.

Our governance approach integrates modern slavery risk management into corporate oversight. Senior management reviews risk assessments and audit outcomes, and the board receives annual updates on progress across all Woolwich office clearance activities and supplier relationships.

We will continue to enhance our processes, including improved supplier screening, targeted audits, worker voice initiatives and collaboration with industry peers to strengthen standards across the sector. Office Clearances Woolwich remains committed to continuous improvement and transparency.

We undertake an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our policies to measure effectiveness and to set priorities for the coming year. The annual review evaluates incident reports, the results of supplier audits, training completion rates and changes in risk profile to ensure our zero tolerance position against modern slavery is actively enforced throughout every aspect of our work.
