Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Belmont Commitment
House Clearance Belmont is committed to preventing modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation. This modern slavery statement for Belmont clearance services summarises our principles, the practical steps we take, and our ongoing responsibilities. Our stance is clear and unambiguous: we will not tolerate slavery in any part of our business or supply chain.
Our statement covers the full scope of house clearance in Belmont, including removal, transportation, disposal and associated procurement activities. All employees, contractors and suppliers are expected to adhere to our standards. The Belmont house clearance team requires contractual commitments from partners that align with our ethical and legal obligations.
We assess risk and monitor suppliers through a structured programme of supplier audits. Supplier audits are an essential control to verify working conditions, documentation and compliance with labour standards. Audit activities include document checks, site inspections and interviews where appropriate, and we track corrective actions until closure.
Policies, Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
Our procurement and operational policies embed anti-slavery clauses and expectations. During onboarding, each supplier undergoes due diligence covering:
- Verification of identity and legal status;
- Assessment of labour practices and working hours;
- Review of payroll, subcontracting arrangements and third-party relationships.
Supplier audits are scheduled based on risk profile: high-risk suppliers are audited more frequently, while low-risk suppliers receive periodic checks. Audit findings are recorded and acted upon; non-compliance may lead to remediation plans, suspension or contract termination. We maintain an audit trail for transparency and continuous improvement.
We also promote supply chain transparency by requiring suppliers to disclose their subcontractors and to confirm that they operate under comparable standards. Our efforts for Belmont house clearance extend to encouraging suppliers to maintain records and to submit to independent verification when required.
Reporting Channels, Training and Annual Review
We provide clear reporting channels to enable concerns about modern slavery to be raised safely and promptly. Reporting options include anonymous internal mechanisms and escalation to senior management. These channels are confidential, and we investigate all allegations thoroughly. We emphasise a culture where raising concerns is supported and not penalised.
Training and awareness are key elements of our approach. Staff involved in procurement, operations and contracting receive regular training on recognising signs of exploitation, how to use reporting channels and how to respond if issues are suspected. Training materials reference the Belmont clearance context and illustrate practical examples relevant to our work.
Monitoring and continuous improvement underpin our approach. We perform regular risk assessments, maintain records of due diligence and audit outcomes, and use performance indicators to measure effectiveness. Our annual review process evaluates policy effectiveness, audit results and training uptake, and identifies actions for the year ahead.
As part of the annual review we publish findings to our leadership team and integrate lessons learned into contractual terms and operational procedures. This review includes an assessment of supplier audit coverage, remedial actions taken and any changes made to our Belmont house clearance processes to mitigate risk.
Our governance structure ensures executive oversight of this modern slavery statement. Senior managers are accountable for implementation, and compliance is incorporated into procurement and supplier management routines. Where serious breaches are identified, we will apply our zero-tolerance policy and take decisive action to protect workers and remediate harm.
House Clearance Belmont reiterates its commitment to ethical operations and to collaborating with partners that share our values. We will continue to strengthen supplier audits, maintain accessible reporting channels and conduct an annual review that informs continuous improvement. Together with our teams and supply chain, we will work to prevent modern slavery and uphold the rights and dignity of all workers involved in Belmont clearance activities.
