Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Brompton

Office Clearance Brompton is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our zero-tolerance stance, the practical steps we take, and how we monitor and report concerns. As a specialist in office clearance and Brompton office clearance services, we recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and maintain ethical procurement.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, bonded labour, child exploitation and any form of coercion. All employees, contractors and suppliers are required to comply with our expectations and contractual clauses that prohibit modern slavery. Our leadership team enforces these requirements and ensures compliance with relevant UK laws.

Our commitment applies to every aspect of office clearance in Brompton and associated activities. We conduct due diligence on new suppliers, require written assurances about employment practices, and include anti-slavery provisions in contracts. We also perform targeted supplier audits to verify compliance with our standards and to identify potential risk areas associated with waste removal, recycling partners and third-party labour providers.

Supplier audits, due diligence and risk management

Supplier audits are a core part of our approach. We maintain a risk-based audit schedule focusing on suppliers involved in manual handling, sorting, and logistic operations where the risk of exploitation is higher. Audits include document checks, site visits where feasible, and interviews with management to confirm pay practices and worker rights.

Key elements of our supplier audit process include:

• Verification of employment practices and right-to-work checks;
• Assessment of working hours, wages and safety procedures;
• Review of subcontractor relationships and recruitment channels.

Where audits identify concerns we require corrective action plans, follow-up assessments, and, where necessary, suspension or termination of contracts. We prioritise remediation that protects affected workers and pursue contractual remedies against suppliers who fail to address serious violations of our standards.

Reporting channels, training and annual review

We provide multiple reporting channels for colleagues, suppliers and the public to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. These reporting channels include confidential internal reporting mechanisms, a whistleblowing process and escalation to senior management for rapid investigation. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled with confidentiality to protect those who speak up.

We encourage everyone involved in Brompton clearance services to report suspicious behaviour. Training on modern slavery awareness is incorporated into employee induction and refresher programmes for operational staff and procurement teams. This training covers how to identify signs of exploitation, correct reporting routes and the responsibilities of managers when allegations arise.

This statement is reviewed annually to evaluate the effectiveness of our policies and procedures. Our annual review includes analysis of audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance and changes in the risk landscape. Following each review we update our action plan, strengthen controls where needed and report on progress to senior leadership.
