Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Archway

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of House Clearance Archway and related archway house clearance services to prevent slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to ensure that our business practices, procurement and subcontracting for house clearance in Archway meet robust ethical standards. This policy applies to all employees, contractors and partners engaged in any part of our work.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and exploitation, and we require that everyone associated with our company shares this position. The archway clearance team is trained to identify red flags, and line managers are instructed to respond promptly to any concerns. We emphasise transparency and accountability throughout our processes, and we document actions taken in every case to ensure consistent application of our standards.

Our approach to preventing exploitation includes clear contractual terms and pre-qualification checks for suppliers and subcontractors used in house clearance Archway projects. We require evidence of legal employment, right-to-work checks, and confirmation of fair pay practices. Any supplier found to be non-compliant with our expectations for ethical labour practices will be subject to remediation plans or termination of the business relationship.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We undertake a programme of supplier audits and routine due diligence to assess risks and monitor compliance. Audits combine document checks, interviews and site visits where appropriate. The audit protocol includes verification of payroll records, employment contracts, and working conditions documented by suppliers and their subcontractors. Houseclearance Archway uses risk-based sampling to prioritise audits for higher-risk suppliers and geographies.

Audit outcomes are recorded and followed up with corrective action plans where necessary. We apply a graduated response that may include additional monitoring, contractual sanctions, or termination. We also provide guidance and capacity-building where suppliers demonstrate willingness to improve. This approach balances enforcement with support, aiming to drive systemic improvements across the supply chain.

Key elements of our supplier due diligence include:

• Risk assessment of suppliers based on sector, location and subcontracting practices;
• Document verification including payroll, IDs and employment agreements;
• On-site inspections when practical to validate working conditions;
• Corrective action tracking and closure before re-engagement.

Reporting Channels and Worker Protection

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels so employees, subcontractors and third parties can raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or labour exploitation. Reports are investigated promptly and impartially by trained staff, with appropriate protections for whistleblowers. Allegations of forced labour, withholding of pay or coercion are treated with urgency and escalated to senior management for action.

House Clearance Archway emphasises victim-centred responses where exploitation is identified. We treat affected individuals with dignity, ensure access to appropriate support, and cooperate with relevant authorities when criminal activity is suspected. Our policies prohibit retaliation against anyone making a good faith report and include clear disciplinary measures for those found responsible for abuses.

The effectiveness of our practices is reviewed annually. This review covers the zero-tolerance policy, supplier audit outcomes, training completion rates, and the responsiveness of reporting channels. Findings drive continuous improvement, including updates to procurement clauses, enhanced audit frequency for high-risk suppliers, and refreshed staff training on modern slavery indicators.
