Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Tooting

Flat Clearance Tooting is committed to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking from all aspects of our operations and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach, responsibilities and the steps we take to prevent exploitation. We operate with a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking or other forms of modern slavery within our local Tooting flat clearance services and wider operations.

Our commitment extends across every activity we perform, whether delivering a full apartment clearance in Tooting, coordinating flat removals Tooting-wide, or contracting third parties. We recognise that the risk of modern slavery can appear in various guises and that vigilance, clear policies and proactive oversight are required. As a company offering flat clearance services in Tooting, we pledge to act ethically and lawfully at all times.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Company Responsibilities

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. All staff, contractors and suppliers must comply with our expectations, which include lawful pay, safe working conditions and voluntary employment. Managers overseeing Tooting flat removals and waste handling are trained to recognise signs of exploitation and to escalate concerns promptly. Our workforce policies emphasise transparency, respect and the protection of vulnerable individuals.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Supplier management is a core part of our strategy. We undertake ongoing supplier audits and due diligence to ensure compliance with anti-slavery standards. Our supplier audit program includes:

• Pre-contract screening for high-risk suppliers and subcontractors used for house clearances and property clearance in Tooting.
• Periodic audits that assess employment practices, working hours and documentation.
• Contract clauses requiring adherence to our anti-slavery policy and termination rights if breaches are identified.

Where audits identify potential issues, we take corrective action, which may include remediation plans, additional monitoring and, where necessary, ending the business relationship. We also provide guidance to our suppliers to help them meet the standards expected by Flat Clearance Tooting. Our procurement team evaluates risk by region, service type and the nature of labour used, especially where manual handling and doorstep collections are involved.

Reporting channels are available to all workers, subcontractors and third parties. We maintain confidential and accessible mechanisms for raising concerns, including anonymous reporting options. Reports are treated seriously, investigated without delay and protected from retaliation. We encourage internal reporting to management and provide signposting to independent authorities when appropriate.

Our whistleblowing approach ensures that people who report suspected modern slavery are supported. We follow a structured process for intake, investigation and resolution to ensure fairness and confidentiality. The reporting channels are promoted internally and communicated to suppliers as part of onboarding for any partnership involving removal services or flat clearance assistance in the Tooting area.

Training, Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

Training is provided to staff and key contractors, focusing on recognising the signs of exploitation, correct escalation procedures, and the responsibilities of those involved in delivering flat clearance and house clearance work in Tooting. We use scenario-based learning and regular refresher sessions to embed awareness and practical skills.

Annual Review and Transparency

We commit to an annual review of this statement and our policies, reviewing audit findings, reported incidents and the effectiveness of supplier controls. Each year we evaluate progress, adjust our due diligence processes, and reinforce training where gaps are identified. Our senior management team signs off on the review and ensures that improvements are implemented across every area of our flat removal and clearance operations.

Through these measures — a clear zero-tolerance stance, robust supplier audits, safe reporting channels and a formal annual review — Flat Clearance Tooting aims to prevent modern slavery in all forms and to promote ethical, responsible service delivery for all customers and communities we serve.
