Flat Clearance Abbey Wood Modern Slavery Statement

Flat Clearance Abbey Wood is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This statement sets out the steps our Abbey Wood flat clearance team has taken and will continue to take to ensure that forced labour, debt bondage, involuntary servitude and other forms of exploitation do not occur anywhere in our business or supply chain. Our approach applies to every employee, contractor and partner engaged by Flat Clearance — Abbey Wood, and reflects a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate with an unequivocal stance: we will not tolerate modern slavery. All staff and subcontractors involved in flat clearance in Abbey Wood are expected to uphold this policy. Employees must report any suspicions immediately, and managers are required to act. Our employment and procurement practices emphasise lawful pay, transparent contracts and the right for workers to leave employment freely. We provide training to make sure everyone understands the zero-tolerance expectation and the practical steps to prevent and identify exploitation.

Compliance with anti-slavery laws and ethical labour standards is embedded into our contracts and supplier terms. We require suppliers and partners to confirm adherence to our policies and to maintain records demonstrating compliance. Where necessary, we will terminate relationships with suppliers who fail to meet minimum standards. Our abbey wood flat clearance procurement includes explicit clauses prohibiting child labour, forced labour and exploitative working conditions, and requires transparency about labour sourcing and subcontracting arrangements.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

To ensure responsible sourcing across every flat clearance project, Flat Clearance — Abbey Wood conducts due diligence before onboarding suppliers and continues to monitor their practices. We carry out risk assessments focusing on geographic risk, the nature of goods and services, and the structure of the supplier workforce. When risks are identified, we increase scrutiny through documentation checks, site visits and supplier questionnaires to confirm compliance.

Our supplier audit programme is a mix of scheduled and unannounced audits designed to verify working conditions, pay practices and documentation. Audits are performed by trained staff or independent auditors and include worker interviews, payroll reviews and inspection of on-site facilities. If issues are found, we demand corrective action plans with defined timelines and follow-up checks. In severe cases, we will suspend or terminate the supplier relationship to protect workers and the integrity of our operations.

We maintain clear expectations in writing and use a graduated response to non-compliance:

• Initial remediation — immediate corrective measures and monitoring;
• Escalation — stricter contractual penalties and closer supervision;
• Termination — end of relationship if remediation fails or abuses are serious.

These steps support a consistent and enforceable supplier audit and improvement process across our network of contractors and service providers for flat removal and clearance in Abbey Wood.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide clear, confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and the public to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports can be made anonymously where local law permits. All reports are investigated promptly, with protections in place for whistleblowers to ensure they do not face retaliation. Our managers are trained to recognise signs of exploitation and to escalate concerns through internal governance processes.

Investigations follow a consistent protocol that balances confidentiality, legality and the welfare of potential victims. Outcomes can include immediate protection measures, referral to appropriate authorities, remedial support for affected individuals, and changes to procurement or operational practices to prevent recurrence. We document findings and actions taken to maintain accountability and continuous improvement across our abbey wood clearance operations.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: Our modern slavery statement and related policies are reviewed at least once a year by senior management to evaluate effectiveness and to set priorities for the coming period. The annual review examines audit results, incident reports, supplier performance and emerging risks. Based on this review, we update training, refine supplier audits and adjust contractual requirements to strengthen protections. Flat clearance Abbey Wood remains committed to transparency, and we will continue to evolve our approach to eliminate modern slavery from our activities and supply chains.
