Redbridge House Clearance Modern Slavery Statement

Redbridge House Clearance affirms a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chain. This statement sets out our commitment to uphold human rights, to prevent exploitation, and to ensure that all workers engaged directly or indirectly with Redbridge house clearance activities are treated with dignity and respect. Our approach is guided by legal obligations and by the principle that exploitation has no place in our business.

Our Zero-Tolerance Commitment

As a responsible Redbridge clearance company we operate with clear expectations for employees, contractors and suppliers. We do not tolerate slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking. All staff are required to report any suspicion of exploitative practices, and managers are responsible for enforcing compliance across all Redbridge House Clearance services. We will act immediately if concerns are raised.

To strengthen this commitment we undertake regular supplier audits and due diligence. Our supplier audit process includes:

• Pre-engagement screening and contractual obligations that prohibit modern slavery;
• Periodic on-site and remote audits to verify labour practices and working conditions;
• Document checks for right-to-work and fair recruitment processes;
• Risk-based prioritisation so that high-risk suppliers receive enhanced scrutiny;
• Corrective action plans and monitoring for any non-compliance discovered.

Our due diligence extends beyond initial onboarding: we map our supply chain to identify potential risks, and we require suppliers to cascade the same standards to their sub-contractors. Redbridge house clearance services are provided only with partners who accept and demonstrate adherence to these standards. We include explicit anti-slavery clauses in contracts and notify partners that breaches will result in remediation or termination.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Employees, contractors and third parties can report concerns through secure and confidential channels. We maintain multiple reporting mechanisms to ensure accessibility and protection: a confidential internal reporting line, anonymous reporting options, and a clear process for escalation to senior management. All reports are investigated promptly and impartially. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and provide support where appropriate. Concerns are taken seriously and acted upon without delay.

Where modern slavery risks are identified, we use a combination of remediation and prohibition. Remediation can include working with suppliers to improve conditions, ensuring workers receive due wages, and supporting affected individuals. In cases of severe or persistent non-compliance, Redbridge clearance company procedures provide for contract termination and reporting to appropriate authorities.

Training, Governance and Responsibilities

We provide regular training for staff and management to recognise signs of exploitation and to understand reporting obligations. Senior leadership at Redbridge House Clearance holds ultimate responsibility for policy enforcement. Operational managers are accountable for implementing controls and for supplier management. We maintain records of training and audit outcomes to ensure ongoing oversight and transparency.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We will review this Modern Slavery Statement annually to assess its effectiveness and to incorporate lessons learned from audits, investigations and sector developments. The annual review will consider audit findings, remediation outcomes, supplier performance and evolving legal requirements. Improvements to policies, supplier contracts and training are implemented as part of a continuous improvement cycle. Redbridge estate clearance operations will therefore adapt to emerging risks and best practice.

In conclusion, Redbridge House Clearance reiterates its steadfast commitment to preventing modern slavery across all aspects of our business. We maintain a zero-tolerance stance, rigorous supplier audits, secure reporting channels and a disciplined annual review process to protect workers and uphold ethical standards throughout our supply chain.
