Fitzrovia House Clearance Modern Slavery Statement
Fitzrovia House Clearance is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement explains the steps our Fitzrovia house clearance company takes to ensure that forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking and other exploitative practices are not present in our operations or supply chains. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and expect the same high standards from our suppliers, contractors and partners.
We adopt clear policies and procedures to support compliance across House Clearance Fitzrovia activities. Our leadership sets the tone with regular training for staff and management, emphasizing that compliance with anti-slavery standards is a core part of our organisational culture. All employees receive instruction on how to recognise potential indicators of exploitation and the required steps to escalate concerns through our internal reporting channels.
Supplier due diligence is a central pillar of our approach. We perform risk-based supplier assessments, background checks and contractual commitments to human rights standards. Where risk is identified, we conduct focused supplier audits, request remediation plans and where necessary suspend or terminate relationships with suppliers who fail to meet our expectations. Supplier audits include documentary checks, on-site assessments where feasible and verifiable evidence that labour practices meet legal and ethical requirements.
Policies, Contracts and Training
Our procurement and contracting templates include explicit clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery laws and our internal zero-tolerance rules. We ensure that sub-contractors, waste carriers and recycling partners engaged by Fitzrovia clearance services confirm adherence to these clauses. Training programs are reviewed annually and tailored to roles most likely to encounter modern slavery risks.Risk Assessment and Supplier Monitoring
The company maintains a dynamic risk register that assesses vulnerabilities across our operations, including seasonal peaks and use of temporary labour. We apply a stratified approach to monitoring: high-risk suppliers receive enhanced scrutiny through audits, medium-risk partners are monitored via document review and periodic checks, and low-risk suppliers are assessed through routine procurement oversight. Our list of monitoring measures includes site visits, payroll verification and staff interviews where appropriate.
- Zero-tolerance policy: immediate action on any confirmed breaches;
- Supplier audits: scheduled and ad hoc checks;
- Reporting channels: confidential escalation routes for concerns.
Reporting channels are available to all workers, contractors and stakeholders. We maintain confidential internal reporting procedures, a whistleblowing mechanism and clear escalation pathways for suspected violations. Reports are reviewed by a designated compliance lead and, where appropriate, external authorities are engaged. Retaliation against anyone raising concerns in good faith is strictly prohibited.
When issues are reported, we commit to prompt investigation, proportional remediation and transparent documentation of actions taken. Remediation may include supplier re-training, contractual penalties, or termination of business relationships. We also work collaboratively with other organisations and local authorities to support victims and prevent recurrence. Our approach balances accountability with practical support for affected individuals.
Annual review ensures our Modern Slavery Statement remains effective and current. Each year the board reviews policies, audit outcomes, training records and incident logs to evaluate performance and identify improvements. The annual review process informs updates to our risk assessments, supplier due diligence protocols and staff training content. By publishing and acting on these findings, our Fitzrovia clearance company reinforces long-term commitment to ethical labour practices across the community we serve.
