Modern Slavery Statement — Leytonstone House Clearance

Leytonstone House Clearance confirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chain. This statement sets out the policies, processes and expectations that govern our Leytonstone house clearance operations and our broader Leytonstone clearance services. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, exploitation and any form of modern slavery within our teams, contractors and subcontractors. Our objective is to ensure that every person engaged in our property clearance activities is treated with dignity and receives fair working conditions.

Our commitment and principles

We maintain a clear position: we will not tolerate modern slavery in any part of Leytonstone property clearance activity. All employees and partners are required to adhere to our anti-slavery principles, which include legal compliance, respect for human rights, and transparency in recruitment and contracting. We require managers overseeing house clearance projects to apply due diligence when appointing staff and external suppliers, and to record assurances that workers are engaged freely and fairly. This ensures that the Leytonstone house clearance brand upholds ethical standards at every stage.

Our zero-tolerance policy is supported by the following commitments:

• Clear contractual clauses requiring suppliers to comply with anti-slavery legislation and our internal policies;
• Pre-engagement checks to verify the right to work and legitimate employment status of workers involved in house clearance;
• Whistleblowing protections so concerns can be raised without fear of reprisal.

Supply chain transparency and supplier audits

We operate a targeted audit programme for suppliers and contractors active in our Leytonstone property clearance operations. Supplier audits combine document review, site inspections and interviews where appropriate, focusing on recruitment practices, pay and working hours, accommodation arrangements and evidence of coercion. Our procurement teams maintain risk-based lists of suppliers across our clearance services and schedule audits proportionate to risk. Findings from audits lead to corrective action plans, and repeat non-compliance results in contract termination.

We require every contractor and subcontractor engaged by Leytonstone house clearance teams to complete a compliance self-assessment and to provide relevant payroll and recruitment documentation. Where suppliers use third-party labour providers, we require transparency about those arrangements and extend the scope of audits to cover them. Audit outcomes are recorded, and suppliers are monitored continually through periodic reviews and performance metrics to protect workers throughout the supply chain.

As part of procurement due diligence we apply rigorous checks on new partners to reduce the risk of modern slavery within our clearance services. Our procurement clauses include the right to audit, remedial action obligations, and termination rights where abuses are identified. Leytonstone clearance services therefore operate with a focus on prevention, detection and remediation, backed by clear contractual consequences.

Reporting channels and employee protections are critical to our approach. We provide multiple safe routes for concerns to be raised, including confidential internal reporting lines and anonymous reporting mechanisms administered independently. Reports of suspected exploitation, forced labour or trafficking are taken seriously, investigated promptly and escalated to senior management where required. We emphasize non-retaliation and support for victims, offering access to appropriate welfare advice and, when necessary, referral to specialist support services.

Training and awareness form a key line of defence in our Leytonstone house clearance operations. All staff involved in property clearance receive regular training on recognising signs of modern slavery, safe reporting procedures and the specific obligations embedded in our zero-tolerance policies. Contractors and site supervisors are included in targeted briefings to ensure consistent vigilance across all clearance projects. We also maintain clear documentation of due diligence checks, recruitment records and audit findings to demonstrate compliance.

Annual review and continuous improvement: our senior leadership conducts an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and the effectiveness of our policies, supplier audits, reporting channels and remediation processes. The review evaluates key performance indicators such as audit coverage, number and resolution of reports, corrective actions taken and training completion rates. Where gaps are identified we commit to timely improvement plans. This statement will be updated as necessary to reflect evolving risks and lessons learned, reaffirming Leytonstone House Clearance’s ongoing dedication to eradicating modern slavery from our business and supply chains.
