Scope and Responsibilities

This statement covers all operations of Leyton house clearance, including collections, disposal, recycling and third-party logistics.

We deploy a risk-based audit programme focused on high-risk suppliers and activities. Audits include document reviews, workplace visits and interviews where appropriate. Findings are recorded and tracked; remediation plans are mandatory for any non-compliance. Our audit process for Leyton house clearance partners includes:

• Contractual clauses requiring anti-slavery compliance;
• Scheduled and ad hoc audits for high-risk suppliers;
• Corrective action plans with defined timelines;
• Worker interviews and verification of wage and hour records where practicable.

We provide clear reporting channels to enable staff, suppliers and members of the public to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery in a secure and confidential manner. Reporting can be done through internal hotlines, direct reports to our compliance team or anonymous submissions where available. We treat all reports seriously and follow up with timely investigations.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Our reporting channels are designed to be accessible and protective. Employees involved in Leyton house clearance are trained on how to use these channels. We guarantee non-retaliation for good-faith reports and have procedures to protect whistleblowers from detrimental treatment.

Examples of reporting avenues include:

• Internal compliance reporting mechanisms;
• Escalation to senior management and the board;
• Referral to external authorities when required by law.

Remediation and Continuous Improvement

When instances of non-compliance are identified within our Leyton operations or among subcontractors, we act swiftly to remediate. Remediation may include suspension of contracts, facilitating access to support services for affected individuals, and cooperating with enforcement agencies. We use lessons learned to improve policies and training across the business.

Annual Review and Transparency

We conduct an annual review of our policies, risk assessments and the effectiveness of mitigation measures. This review informs updates to our Modern Slavery Statement and operational procedures for house clearance services in Leyton and surrounding areas. Outcomes of reviews lead to refreshed training, strengthened supplier controls and refined audit approaches.
