Modern Slavery Statement for Flat Clearance Seven Sisters

Flat Clearance Seven Sisters is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chains. This modern slavery statement outlines our approach, policies and ongoing measures to ensure there is zero tolerance for forced labour, servitude, child labour and any form of exploitation associated with our flat clearance services in Seven Sisters. We publish this statement as part of our continued transparency and accountability and as evidence of our active approach to safeguarding human rights.

Our Policy and Zero-Tolerance Stance

We maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery across the business. All employees, contractors and partners engaged in flat clearance in Seven Sisters or working with Flat Clearance, Seven Sisters are expected to comply with our code of conduct. Any breach of this policy will result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, and where appropriate, referral to law enforcement. We make it clear that exploitation has no place in our removal, clearance and recycling activities.

Scope and Responsibilities

Our prevention measures apply to all supply chain tiers. Senior management holds responsibility for the implementation of this modern slavery and human trafficking policy, with the operations and procurement teams given delegated duties to monitor, report and act on risks. We regularly communicate our expectations to subcontractors and suppliers to ensure alignment with the values of Flat Clearance Seven Sisters and the broader community we serve.

Risk Assessment and Supplier Audits: We conduct systematic risk assessments across our supplier network, especially for suppliers supporting flat clearance in the Seven Sisters area and adjacent services. Where risks are identified, we perform targeted supplier audits and site visits, examining labour practices, working hours, pay structures and recruitment methods. Audits are documented and tracked, and findings prompt corrective action plans. Audits include verification of right-to-work checks, employment contracts and evidence of safe working conditions.

Our supplier due diligence program uses a combination of self-assessment questionnaires, documentary review and in-person inspections where necessary. We prioritize suppliers who demonstrate robust human rights and ethical employment practices. Suppliers failing to meet our standards are subject to escalation, mandatory improvement plans or contract termination. The procurement team uses risk-based criteria to determine audit frequency and follow-up actions.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing - We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for staff, suppliers and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reported concerns are investigated promptly by an impartial team and escalated to senior management where required. Reports may be submitted anonymously and are treated with discretion. We encourage all stakeholders to speak up if they suspect exploitation in any part of our flat clearance operations in Seven Sisters.

Training, Continuous Improvement and Annual Review: Ongoing training is delivered to staff and contractors to recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand reporting procedures. Our annual review process evaluates the effectiveness of our policies, supplier audits and reporting mechanisms. Each year we assess trends identified from risk assessments and incident reports, update our action plans, and enhance controls to reduce vulnerabilities in our value chain.

The annual review is overseen by the senior leadership team and documented in our internal compliance records. It includes lessons learned, updated training modules, and refined audit protocols. Through this cycle of assessment, action and review, Flat Clearance Seven Sisters strengthens its resilience against exploitation and demonstrates continuous improvement in safeguarding labour rights.

Commitment to responsible clearance - Flat Clearance Seven Sisters remains steadfast in its resolve to combat modern slavery. We will continue to deploy robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and a firm zero-tolerance policy, backed by regular monitoring and an annual review. Our aim is to preserve dignity, protect workers and ensure that every flat clearance operation we undertake reflects our ethical standards and legal obligations.
