Modern Slavery Statement — Feltham House Clearance Commitment

Feltham House Clearance declares a clear and uncompromising zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour. This modern slavery statement outlines how Feltham house clearance teams and management identify, prevent and respond to the risks of exploitation across our operations and supply chain. Our commitment is to ensure that every aspect of Feltham clearance services is conducted transparently and ethically.

Scope and Purpose

We commit to embedding anti-slavery principles into daily practice across all house clearance in Feltham activities. This statement applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Felix House Clearance and its associated services, and reflects our duty to uphold human rights in our operations and procurement. We recognise the vulnerability of certain labour sectors and therefore take steps to mitigate those risks actively.

Our approach focuses on prevention through responsible procurement and regular supplier monitoring. We maintain supplier selection criteria that explicitly disallow any form of forced labour and expect all partners to adhere to our standards. Supplier audits and contractual clauses form the backbone of our compliance checks, and non-conforming suppliers are subject to remediation or termination.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We operate a risk-based due diligence programme for our suppliers, designed to identify and assess areas where modern slavery risks are most prevalent. This includes desk-based reviews, supplier self-assessments and on-site audits when necessary. Supplier audits evaluate working conditions, recruitment practices and subcontracting arrangements to ensure adherence to our standards for ethical labour practices.

Feltham House Clearance carries out periodic compliance checks and follows up with corrective action plans where issues are found. We prioritise transparency when assessing our supply chain and maintain records of audit results and remedial steps. Our procurement team works with suppliers to implement improvements rather than solely relying on punitive measures.

We provide training for staff involved in procurement and operations so they can spot signs of exploitation and understand escalation routes. Training emphasises responsible sourcing for house clearance in Feltham, ethical disposal practices and the importance of verifying labour supply chains.

Reporting channels are kept accessible and protected: employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns confidentially through internal reporting mechanisms and whistleblowing procedures. Reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly by the compliance team. We ensure that anyone who raises a concern in good faith will be supported and safeguarded against retaliation.

To supplement internal reporting, we maintain documented processes for investigating allegations of modern slavery, including immediate risk assessment, temporary protective measures for affected individuals, and coordination with relevant authorities as required. Our response protocols are designed to be victim-centred and to prioritise safety and remediation.

As part of continuous improvement, Feltham clearance services publishes this modern slavery statement annually and updates it to reflect evolving risks and lessons learned. Annual review ensures the policy remains effective, with senior management oversight and board-level accountability. The review covers outcomes from supplier audits, training completion rates and any incidents or near-misses recorded over the year.

Key actions we take to prevent modern slavery include:

• Embedding zero-tolerance clauses in supplier contracts;
• Conducting regular risk-based supplier audits and follow-up actions;
• Providing mandatory training for staff on recognising and reporting exploitation;
• Maintaining secure and confidential reporting channels;
• Carrying out an annual review of our modern slavery strategy and practices.

We measure effectiveness through specific indicators such as the number of supplier audits completed, corrective actions implemented, and training coverage across Feltham house clearance teams. These metrics inform the annual review and help set targets for the following year.

Feltham House Clearance expects all stakeholders to share responsibility for eradicating modern slavery. Our sustained effort, through proactive supplier engagement, rigorous audits and clear reporting channels, demonstrates our ongoing pledge to ethical operations. This statement is approved by senior management and will be reviewed and republished each year as part of our commitment to transparency and continuous improvement.
