Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Seven Sisters

House Clearance Seven Sisters makes a clear and unwavering commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in every part of our operations. This statement outlines the policies, processes and controls that underpin our approach to ethical work practices across removals, clearances and estate services. We operate with a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, bonded labour, and any form of exploitation within our teams or supply chain.

As a provider of house clearance Seven Sisters and associated services, we recognise that our reputation depends on ethical behaviour and respect for human rights. Our policy applies to all colleagues, contractors and third-party providers engaged in Seven Sisters house clearance activities. This modern slavery statement covers employment, subcontracting and procurement of goods and services, and reinforces that exploitation will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

We require every partner and supplier to comply with our standards. To support transparency we publish guidance internally and provide training to staff to spot signs of exploitation and poor labour practices. Our processes emphasise safeguarding vulnerable people during clearances and removals and ensuring dignity for those affected by estate or property services.

• Scope: applies to direct employees, contractors and material suppliers.
• Responsibility: senior management oversee compliance and risk mitigation.
• Action: immediate suspension of any supplier found to breach our rules.

Our supplier due diligence programme is integral to the House Clearance in Seven Sisters compliance framework. We maintain registered lists of approved suppliers, require contractual warranties about the absence of slavery, and mandate adherence to labour standards. New suppliers must complete a declaration and provide evidence of lawful employment practices before being engaged for any Seven Sisters house clearance tasks.

We carry out regular supplier audits and risk assessments. High-risk suppliers are audited more frequently and may be asked to remedy deficiencies within a specified timeframe. Supplier audits include on-site visits where practicable, document reviews, and verification of payroll and working condition records. If remediation is unsatisfactory, we will terminate the relationship.

Our procurement teams use a risk-based approach: criteria such as geographical risk, labour intensity, and subcontracting levels inform the intensity of vetting. We also embed anti-slavery clauses in contracts and reserve the right to audit subcontractors engaged in any house-clearance Seven Sisters projects.

We provide clear reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery or unethical practices. Employees, contractors and external stakeholders can raise concerns through internal reporting lines, whistleblowing mechanisms and through anonymous channels established for safeguarding. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and kept confidential where possible.

Any allegation concerning forced labour in the context of House Clearance Seven Sisters triggers an urgent investigation. Where slavery or trafficking is suspected, we will work with relevant authorities and support remediation for victims. Disciplinary action, contract termination and referral to enforcement agencies form part of our response toolkit.

We also publish outcomes of significant investigations internally to drive learning and improvement. This builds a culture where concerns are raised without fear, and where staff on the ground, engaged in Seven Sisters house clearance work, feel empowered to act.

Our zero-tolerance policy is reinforced through training, leadership commitment and routine monitoring. Managers receive specialised training to detect indicators of exploitation and to respond appropriately when issues arise. We encourage a culture of vigilance and accountability across every crew and office engaged in house-clearance Seven Sisters operations.

The effectiveness of our controls is measured through performance indicators, audit results and the number and nature of reported incidents. We record all reports, track remedial actions and ensure that victims receive appropriate support. Suppliers failing to meet our standards face corrective action up to and including removal from our approved supplier list.

We commit to an annual review of this modern slavery statement and the policies which underpin it. Each year senior management will assess the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures, review supplier audit outcomes, update training and improve reporting mechanisms. The annual review will consider changing risks, legislative developments and emerging best practice to ensure our approach to preventing modern slavery in Seven Sisters and beyond remains robust.

House Clearance Seven Sisters will continue to strengthen controls, engage with suppliers, and support victims while promoting ethical standards across the sector. Our firm stance against modern slavery is a core element of how we operate, and we will regularly report progress internally and adjust our approach in line with lessons learned and the findings of our annual review.
