Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Swiss Cottage

Flat Clearance Swiss Cottage acknowledges its responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This statement sets out the steps taken by Flat Clearance in Swiss Cottage and related services to identify, mitigate and remedy risks of forced labour, exploitation and human trafficking within our business and supply chain. We publish this declaration to be transparent about our approach and to reinforce our commitment across teams and partners.

We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. All staff, contractors and partners understand that any form of coercion, debt bondage, deceptive recruitment or the withholding of wages is strictly prohibited. Our zero-tolerance stance is underpinned by senior leadership oversight and is reflected in procurement terms and internal codes of conduct. The policy is non-negotiable and applies to every service we deliver, including Swiss Cottage flat clearance and related clear-out projects.

Our Flat Clearance in Swiss Cottage processes include targeted supplier audits and risk assessments. We screen suppliers during onboarding and perform ongoing checks to ensure compliance with labour standards, working hours and wage policies. Where risk indicators are identified we escalate to contractual reviews, on-site inspections and corrective action plans proportionate to the severity of the concern.

Supplier Audits, Due Diligence and Monitoring

Supplier audits form a core part of our due diligence. Our Swiss Cottage flat-clearing and removal partners must demonstrate employment records, health and safety compliance and proof of lawful work eligibility for employees. Audit methods include document review, interviews and sample site visits, and are designed to be thorough yet constructive. Our audit programme prioritises higher-risk suppliers and uses a combination of scheduled and unannounced assessments.

We monitor compliance through a combination of contractual clauses, data collection and performance indicators. Regular reporting from suppliers, periodic audits and third-party verification help us maintain accurate oversight. We also provide training resources for suppliers and staff to raise awareness of modern slavery indicators and improve the capacity to identify and respond to potential issues. Prevention and continuous improvement are central to our approach, and we emphasise corrective action where needed.

Key elements of our compliance and audit programme include:

• Periodic supplier risk assessments tailored to the type of service (e.g., Swiss Cottage flat clearance contractors).
• Documentary checks and verification of payroll, contracts and immigration status.
• On-site and remote audit procedures with follow-up action plans.

Reporting Channels, Training and Annual Review

We maintain multiple reporting channels to enable confidential and safe disclosure of concerns related to modern slavery. Employees and third parties can report suspected issues through internal channels, with protections against retaliation. Reports are investigated promptly by designated compliance personnel and escalated to senior management where appropriate. We ensure that whistleblowing pathways are accessible and that allegations trigger timely, proportionate investigations and remediation where required.

Enforcement of our standards includes contractual remedies and, where necessary, termination of supplier relationships. We require suppliers to cooperate with audits and to implement remedial measures. Non-compliance prompts a staged response: investigation, remediation plan, monitored improvements and, if unresolved, disengagement. Our commitment extends to assisting affected individuals and, where possible, collaborating with external agencies to secure appropriate support. Remediation and support are provided in line with legal obligations and best practice.

The Board and senior management review the effectiveness of this statement and our anti-slavery measures at least annually. This annual review considers audit outcomes, incident reports, improvements in supplier performance and evolving risk factors. Results of the review inform policy updates, additional training and resource allocation. Through continuous evaluation and transparency, Flat Clearance Swiss Cottage aims to strengthen our safeguards against modern slavery and uphold the highest ethical standards in all clearances and removals.
