Modern Slavery Statement — Hendon House Clearance

Hendon House Clearance is committed to conducting business ethically and with respect for human rights. This statement sets out the steps that Hendon house clearance teams take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, bonded labour, or exploitation.

Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged in Hendon clearance services. We require that all staff understand their responsibilities through regular training and clear contractual obligations. All members of our team are encouraged to act with integrity and to report concerns without fear of retaliation.

We publish this modern slavery statement to be transparent about risks and actions. Supplier due diligence is a core preventive measure: we screen new suppliers, assess risk factors, and require written commitments to ethical standards. Where a supplier fails to meet expectations, remedial action or termination of the relationship will be considered.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Company Standards

Our zero-tolerance policy is unequivocal: no form of modern slavery will be tolerated within Hendon House Clearance operations or those of our partners. We embed these standards into our codes of conduct and procurement contracts, ensuring that expectations are explicit and enforceable.

We maintain clear workplace protections, fair wages and lawful working hours for everyone working under Hendon house clearances. Managers are trained to identify signs of exploitation and to escalate concerns through internal reporting channels. These protections support our commitment to ethical, lawful and humane working practices.

We also ensure that temporary workers and subcontractors engaged in Hendon clearance activities are treated fairly. Contract terms require compliance with anti-slavery laws, and we reserve the right to audit or suspend relationships where non-compliance is suspected.

Supplier Audits, Monitoring and Risk Assessment

To manage supply chain risk effectively we operate a structured audit and monitoring regime. Audits combine document reviews, site visits and interviews to verify labour practices and worker conditions. Audit outcomes inform corrective action plans and ongoing risk-rated monitoring.

Our supplier assurance process includes:

• Pre-qualification checks for new suppliers and subcontractors;
• Periodic audits focused on worker rights, recruitment practices and living conditions;
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards and remedial actions where breaches occur.

Hendon UK house clearance operations maintain records of audit results and corrective measures. We prioritise engagement with suppliers who demonstrate continuous improvement and transparent labour practices. In higher-risk areas, we increase oversight and may require independent verification.

We provide training for procurement staff and site supervisors so they can spot indicators of forced labour and respond appropriately. Training is refreshed annually and tailored to the risks relevant to Hendon house clearance projects and removals.

Reporting channels are available to all workers, suppliers and third parties who wish to raise concerns. Reports can be made anonymously and will be treated confidentially. We investigate all credible reports promptly and take proportionate action, including working with authorities where necessary.

Responsibilities for ensuring compliance are assigned at senior levels. Our leadership reviews compliance activity and receives regular updates on audit findings, remediation progress and training completion rates. Strong governance ensures accountability and continuous improvement across Hendon house clearances.

We are committed to continual improvement. Where deficiencies are found we implement corrective action plans, support supplier remediation and, when appropriate, terminate relationships that fail to meet acceptable standards. This approach reinforces our commitment to ethical sourcing and operations.

We will conduct an annual review of this modern slavery statement and associated policies to reflect evolving risks, lessons learned and changes in our business. The results of that review will inform future actions to strengthen our prevention, detection and response to modern slavery risks in all Hendon clearance services.
