Chelsea House Clearance Modern Slavery Statement
Chelsea House Clearance affirms a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking across all our operations. As Chelsea house clearance specialists, we recognise our responsibility to prevent any form of forced labour, debt bondage, or exploitation in both our direct workforce and our supply chain. This statement sets out how Chelsea clearance services identifies, prevents and responds to the risk of modern slavery.
We are committed to maintaining high ethical standards and expect the same from partners engaged in House clearance Chelsea activities. Our policy is embedded in company values and operational procedures, and it applies to employees, contractors and suppliers. All staff receive induction briefings on anti-slavery responsibilities and our leadership team demonstrates ongoing commitment through resourcing, governance and reporting.
To manage risk we conduct rigorous supplier audits and due diligence before onboarding and periodically thereafter. Audit focus areas include:
- Verification of employment practices and right-to-work checks
- Assessment of recruitment and labour sourcing arrangements
- Review of working conditions and wage compliance
- Supply chain mapping to identify higher-risk tiers
Reporting channels and worker support
We provide multiple confidential reporting channels to encourage the disclosure of concerns. Employees and third parties can report potential modern slavery issues through our internal whistleblower process, which protects anonymity and prohibits retaliation. Reports are triaged by our compliance team and escalated to senior management where necessary. Immediate action is taken to safeguard any victim and preserve evidence.
Training and awareness programmes form a core part of our prevention strategy. All staff performing direct clearance and logistics roles undertake regular training modules that include identification indicators, reporting steps and victim support. We use scenario-based learning and practical guidance so that teams operating in the field can spot risks and act promptly. Awareness is reinforced through toolbox talks and visible on-site signage.
Where concerns are substantiated, Chelsea House Clearance follows a clear remediation pathway: suspend relationships where needed, conduct corrective action plans, and where appropriate terminate contracts. We will also cooperate with law enforcement and specialist NGOs to ensure victims receive support and recovery services. Our approach is victim-centred and seeks to restore dignity and safety.
Supply chain controls, governance and annual review
Governance of our anti-slavery programme is overseen by senior management with defined roles and responsibilities. We require contractual clauses that prohibit modern slavery practices and mandate supplier cooperation with audits. Suppliers found wanting must implement remediation plans within agreed timescales. As part of continuous improvement, we monitor key performance indicators and publish internal compliance summaries for board review.
Auditing frequency is risk-based: higher-risk suppliers receive on-site inspections and third-party verification, while low-risk partners are subject to desktop reviews. We employ a mix of announced and unannounced audits to ensure compliance and deter malpractice. Our supplier code of conduct is regularly updated to reflect evolving legal standards and best practice guidance.
This modern slavery statement for Chelsea House Clearance is reviewed at least annually to assess effectiveness and incorporate lessons learned. The review evaluates audit outcomes, reported incidents, remediation success and training uptake. Where necessary, policies and procedures are revised and communicated across the organisation. We remain committed to eradicating modern slavery from our operations and supply chain and to a transparent, accountable approach that protects workers and upholds human rights.
