Bayswater House Clearance Modern Slavery Statement

Bayswater House Clearance reaffirms its commitment to a workplace and supply chain free from forced labour, human trafficking and all forms of modern slavery. Our zero-tolerance policy is central to how we operate across house clearance Bayswater projects, Bayswater home clearance contracts and every clearance activity we undertake. We recognise our responsibility to take a robust approach to preventing modern slavery in our operations and among our suppliers.

Our commitment and scope

We apply a zero-tolerance policy to any form of modern slavery, exploitation or coercion. This statement covers all employees, subcontractors and suppliers engaged by Bayswater clearance services and relates to work carried out within the UK and in any international partnerships. We are committed to ensuring fair, transparent and ethical practices across all stages of house clearance in Bayswater properties.

Modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, debt bondage, and human trafficking. We will not tolerate exploitation in our workforce or in the businesses that supply goods and services to Bayswater House Clearance. All new and existing suppliers must acknowledge and comply with our standards and codes of conduct; breaches may result in immediate termination of contractual relationships.

Supplier due diligence and audits

We undertake systematic supplier reviews and checks to identify and mitigate modern slavery risks. Our supplier due diligence programme includes the following measures:

• Pre-engagement screening of third parties to assess risk profiles;
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery obligations;
• Regular documentation and verification of employment practices;
• Audit rights reserved to inspect labour records and working conditions.

Supplier audits and monitoring

We conduct supplier audits on a risk-based schedule; high-risk suppliers undergo more frequent and in-depth reviews. Audit activities include site visits, review of payroll and time-keeping records, supplier interviews and verification of subcontractor relationships. Findings are recorded and tracked until corrective actions are completed. We also require suppliers to provide evidence of their own anti-slavery policies and training programmes as part of ongoing monitoring for all Bayswater house clearance contractors.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

Bayswater House Clearance maintains accessible reporting channels for workers, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about potential modern slavery or unethical practices. Reports may be submitted through established internal mechanisms, and we ensure:

• Confidentiality and impartial investigation of all reports;
• Protection against retaliation for whistleblowers;
• Clear escalation procedures for serious incidents.

We encourage the use of these channels and ensure that any credible allegation is investigated promptly and proportionately.

Training and responsibilities: we provide targeted training to employees involved in procurement, site management and supplier engagement to help them identify signs of exploitation and respond appropriately. Staff are required to adhere to our anti-slavery expectations; managers are responsible for embedding these principles in operational decision-making across all house clearance in Bayswater activities.

Annual review and continuous improvement

Bayswater house clearance undertakes an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies to evaluate effectiveness and identify improvements. The review considers audit outcomes, reported incidents, supplier performance and evolving regulatory expectations. Actions arising from the annual review include updating contractual terms, refining audit frequency, enhancing training materials and allocating resources to high-risk areas. We are committed to continuous improvement and transparency in our approach to preventing modern slavery throughout the Bayswater clearance supply chain.

In summary, Bayswater House Clearance maintains a firm, documented stance against modern slavery. Our policies feature zero tolerance, thorough supplier audits, clear reporting channels and an annual review cycle to ensure the policy remains effective and responsive. We pledge to act decisively where any breach is identified and to work with partners to remediate and prevent exploitation in all forms across our Bayswater clearance services.

Through vigilance, training, contractual safeguards and proportionate enforcement, we aim to protect workers, uphold human rights and ensure that our operations and the wider supply chain meet the highest ethical standards. This statement applies to all activities carried out on behalf of Bayswater House Clearance and will be reviewed and updated at least once every 12 months.

Bayswater House Clearance remains resolute in safeguarding dignity and rights for all people engaged in our work and the work of our suppliers. We will continue to strengthen prevention, detection and remediation measures to eradicate modern slavery from our sector.
