Modern Slavery Statement — Wimbledon House Clearance

Wimbledon House Clearance is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and takes a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across all operations. This modern slavery statement applies to the company, its contractors and its supply chain involved in house clearance in Wimbledon and wider estate clearance projects. Our aim is to ensure that every person working for, or on behalf of, the business is treated with dignity and respect.

As a responsible Wimbledon house clearance provider we recognise the risks that can arise in waste handling, removals and second-hand goods resale. We set clear expectations for employees and partners, embedding anti-slavery principles into job roles, procurement and day-to-day operations. All staff receive training to identify signs of exploitation and to understand their responsibilities under this policy.

Supply Chain Standards and Audits

We require suppliers, sub-contractors and service providers to adhere to our standards, and we perform regular supplier audits to confirm compliance. Our supplier due diligence includes:

• Pre-contract checks on labour practices and certification;
• Periodic audits and on-site inspections for high-risk partners;
• Contract clauses that prohibit child labour, forced labour and human trafficking;
• Verification of right-to-work documentation where relevant and proportionate.

All employees of Wimbledon clearance services are encouraged to speak up if they suspect abuse. Our whistleblowing and reporting channels are secure, independent and confidential. The company strictly prohibits retaliation against anyone who raises concerns in good faith.

Reporting Channels and Response

We maintain multiple, accessible reporting channels for workers, clients and third parties. These include internal reporting lines and an independent escalation process. Reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly and impartially. If modern slavery is identified, immediate steps are taken to protect victims and to halt any further abusive practices.

When an allegation is substantiated we take corrective action, which may include terminating contracts, initiating remedial measures for affected individuals and working with authorities. In house clearance Wimbledon operations, we prioritise the welfare of individuals and cooperate fully with law enforcement and relevant agencies without delay.

Our procurement team applies risk-based controls across both small and large scale clearances. We use a combination of documentation review, periodic site visits and third-party verification to monitor compliance. Suppliers identified as high risk are subject to enhanced scrutiny and must demonstrate tangible improvements to remain appointed.

Training and Continuous Improvement: staff and subcontractors engaged in Wimbledon estate clearance are provided with ongoing training on recognising exploitation, safe handling of belongings and ethical resale practices. We promote a culture of vigilance and continuous improvement, ensuring policies are clearly communicated and understood at all levels.

The policy is backed by governance oversight. Senior management reviews all reports and audit findings, implements corrective action plans and ensures appropriate resources are allocated to prevent modern slavery within our operations and supply chain.
