Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Honor Oak

House Clearance Honor Oak declares a firm commitment to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour within our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out the policies and actions we take to ensure that everyone involved with our Honor Oak house clearance activities is treated with dignity and respect. It applies to all staff, contractors and suppliers engaged in providing clearance, removal and waste management services.

Our Commitment and Scope

We operate a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. The Honor Oak house clearance team understands that vigilance is essential and that responsibility sits with leadership and every employee. This policy covers recruitment, procurement, logistics and sub-contracted labor, and is integrated into our standard operating processes.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Our zero-tolerance policy is clear: any form of forced, bonded or compulsory labour, human trafficking, or exploitation will not be tolerated. Allegations are investigated promptly and confidentially, and decisive action is taken where breaches are found, including termination of contracts and referral to authorities when appropriate.

Due Diligence and Supplier Standards

We undertake targeted due diligence on suppliers and subcontractors delivering house-clearance services in Honor Oak and surrounding areas. Key checks include identity verification, right-to-work evidence, fair-pay reviews and confirmation of lawful working conditions. We require suppliers to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct which explicitly prohibits modern slavery.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We perform regular supplier audits and risk assessments to identify areas of potential concern. Audits may be scheduled or unannounced and assess compliance with labour standards, health and safety, and contract terms. Our audit process includes:

• Document reviews for payroll and employment records;
• On-site inspections of operational practices;
• Interviews with workers where appropriate to verify working conditions.

Audit findings result in corrective action plans, mandatory remediation and, when necessary, contract termination to protect workers and uphold our values.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple secure and confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected slavery or exploitation. Reports are handled sensitively and without retaliation. Options include an internal reporting line, anonymous submissions and escalation to senior management for urgent matters. Reports are logged, investigated and outcomes documented to ensure transparency and accountability.

Training, Awareness and Employee Responsibility

All staff involved in house clearance Honor Oak operations receive training to recognise signs of modern slavery and the appropriate steps to take. Training is refreshed regularly and includes guidance on safe reporting and the obligations of managers to act on disclosures. Staff are encouraged to adopt a proactive approach to safeguarding vulnerable individuals encountered during clearances, including offering information on support services when needed.

Enforcement, Remediation and Continuous Improvement

Where breaches are identified, we take firm remedial action which may include worker support, repayment of unlawful deductions, contract termination and engagement with enforcement agencies. We aim to remediate harm to affected individuals and prevent recurrence by strengthening contractual protections, updating policies and sharing lessons learned across the business.
