Marylebone House Clearance Modern Slavery Statement
Marylebone House Clearance is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we take to ensure our house clearance Marylebone services and Marylebone clearance activities are conducted ethically. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, debt bondage and exploitation, and we require the same standards from our partners.
Our commitment to eradicating exploitation extends across every part of our business. We expect all contractors, subcontractors and suppliers to adhere to our code of conduct and to the principles set out in this modern slavery policy. We assess risk when engaging new vendors for Marylebone house-clearance projects and maintain contractual clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery laws and immediate remediation should issues be identified.
Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
We apply tailored due diligence procedures to suppliers based on risk profiles. This includes regular supplier audits, documentary checks and site visits where appropriate. Our audit process covers recruitment practices, payment records, working hours and freedom of movement for workers. Key elements include:- Pre-engagement checks — identity verification and contract transparency;
- Ongoing audits — scheduled and ad hoc reviews of suppliers used for clearing and disposal;
- Corrective action plans — mandatory remediation if non-compliance is found.
We operate a robust reporting framework to ensure concerns about modern slavery can be raised and investigated quickly. All workers and stakeholders involved in house clearance Marylebone processes are encouraged to report suspicions through designated confidential channels. Reports are treated seriously and investigated by our compliance team, with remedial measures and support provided to victims where appropriate.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Our whistleblowing channels are accessible and protected. We maintain anonymous reporting options, and any retaliation against reporters is strictly prohibited. Reports trigger a documented review process including risk assessment, possible suspension of contracts and collaboration with authorities when required. Transparency and protection of reporters are core to our approach to tackling slavery risks.Supplier engagement for house clearance in Marylebone involves contractual commitments to our standards. We require suppliers to provide evidence of labour practices and to participate in audits. Where suppliers repeatedly fail to meet standards, we will terminate relationships and seek alternative vendors. Marylebone clearance partners are expected to adopt the same zero-tolerance stance and to cooperate fully with investigations.
Training and awareness are essential to prevention. We provide mandatory training for staff involved in Marylebone house clearance operations, covering how to recognise signs of exploitation and the steps to report concerns. Training materials are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect evolving risks and regulatory guidance. Continuous education strengthens our ability to identify and address potential modern slavery issues.
Our governance framework assigns responsibility for modern slavery compliance to senior management and specific compliance leads. We document all cases, corrective actions and outcomes, and we maintain records of supplier audits and contractual commitments. This governance ensures accountability and a consistent response when instances of exploitation are suspected or detected.
Annual review and continuous improvement — We conduct an annual review of our policies, practices and the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures. Findings are used to improve risk assessment, supplier audit protocols and staff training. Marylebone House Clearance publishes and updates this statement to reflect progress and to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery across our operations and supply chain.
