Modern Slavery Statement — Canary Wharf House Clearance
Canary Wharf House Clearance operates with a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. This Canary Wharf house clearance policy applies to all parts of our business and to our suppliers, contractors and third-party partners. We recognise that abusive labour practices are a global issue and we are committed to identifying, preventing and addressing any risks linked to our operations, whether in domestic home clearances, estate clear-outs or commercial clearance services.
Policy statement: We maintain a clear, enforceable stance: no person should be subjected to forced labour, bonded labour, involuntary servitude or exploitative working conditions in connection with our Canary Wharf clearance services. Our leadership team endorses this stance and ensures it is reflected in corporate policies, employment contracts and supplier arrangements. We require everyone working for or with our company to observe our ethical standards and to cooperate with any enquiries or audits.
Supplier relationships are a key focus. We conduct regular supplier audits and due diligence assessments for contractors involved in house clearance, removal, recycling and disposal services. Audit processes include documented evidence checks, site visits where appropriate and verification of payroll and recruitment practices. Suppliers must agree to our Code of Conduct and immediate corrective actions are taken where non-compliance is found, up to and including termination of contracts.
Due Diligence, Audits and Risk Management
We apply proportionate and risk-based due diligence across our supply chain. Canary Wharf home clearance risk factors (such as subcontracting, temporary labour use, or overseas procurement of specialised services) are assessed and prioritised. Measures include screening of new suppliers, contractual obligations that explicitly prohibit modern slavery, and targeted supplier audits to validate compliance. Our procurement team maintains records of checks and remediation actions.
Reporting and whistleblowing channels: We provide secure and confidential channels for employees, contractors and third parties to report concerns. Reports can be raised through internal reporting lines, anonymously through an independent hotline, or via written submission to appointed compliance officers. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and appropriate protections are in place to prevent retaliation.
To strengthen transparency we use documented corrective action plans and follow-up audits. Training is delivered to procurement staff and site teams so they can recognise indicators of exploitation and apply the correct escalation protocols. We encourage suppliers to adopt the same standards and to allow audits by independent third parties when required.
Commitments, Training and Annual Review
Our workforce is trained in ethical recruitment, recognising signs of coercion and the importance of lawful employment checks. Employment screening, right-to-work checks and clear contracts form part of our standard hiring process. We emphasise fair pay, reasonable working hours and respectful treatment for everyone involved in our house-clearance operations.
We commit to an annual review of our anti-slavery measures and supply chain due diligence. The review considers audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier remediation status and evolving legal requirements. Findings are reported to senior management and used to refine policies, increase audit coverage where necessary, and allocate resources to higher-risk areas.
Conclusion: Canary Wharf house-clearance services will continue to uphold a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery. Through robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, targeted training and a regular annual review cycle, we aim to reduce risk across our operations and supply chain. We remain vigilant and committed to continuous improvement, ensuring that our Canary Wharf clearance operations reflect best practice in protecting human rights and preventing exploitation.
