Modern Slavery Statement — Richmond House Clearance

Richmond House Clearance affirms a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. This Richmond house clearance statement reflects our firm commitment to ethical practice and the protection of human rights across every job we undertake, from small domestic clearances to comprehensive Richmond property clearance projects.

Our commitment is embedded in company culture and governance. We require all employees, contractors and partners to adhere to policies that prohibit exploitation and coercion. Richmond clearance services are delivered in a way that respects dignity and legal rights. We will not tolerate any breach of this policy, and we will take immediate action if modern slavery risks are identified.

Supply chain responsibility and due diligence

We acknowledge that effective action requires transparency beyond our direct workforce. Our procurement approach for Richmond house clearance and related services includes supplier selection criteria, contractual assurances and documented expectations. We carry out risk-based supplier audits and assessments, and we require suppliers to demonstrate compliance with labour and employment laws.

To strengthen our controls we implement targeted checks and audits. Supplier audits focus on areas most vulnerable to exploitation: recruitment practices, subcontracting, wage records and working hours. Audit activities include onsite visits, document reviews and interviews where appropriate, and are carried out by trained compliance staff or independent auditors.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

Richmond House Clearance provides multiple safe reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery. We maintain an anonymous reporting mechanism and formal escalation routes so that workers, clients and partners can report misconduct without fear of retaliation. Reported issues are investigated promptly, and corrective actions are taken where required. Any reports trigger immediate review under our zero-tolerance framework.

Our expectations of suppliers and subcontractors include clear contractual clauses requiring compliance, cooperation with audits and immediate remediation of identified issues. If necessary, Richmond clearance operations reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships with suppliers who fail to meet our standards.

Controls are reinforced through training and awareness. All staff engaged in Richmond houseclearance tasks receive regular training on identifying indicators of modern slavery, how to escalate concerns and how to support vulnerable individuals encountered during clearances. Managers receive additional instruction on conducting supplier reviews and interpreting audit findings.

Monitoring, metrics and continuous improvement—We monitor key performance indicators related to modern slavery risk, including audit completion rates, number of reported incidents, corrective action timeliness and supplier compliance levels. Audit results inform corrective plans and targeted training. We also integrate learnings into procurement policy updates and operational procedures to reduce future risk.

Our compliance and governance arrangements include an annual review cycle. Each year Richmond House Clearance conducts a formal evaluation of our anti-slavery measures, assessing policy effectiveness, audit outcomes and reporting channel performance. The annual review identifies improvements, sets objectives for the coming year and ensures alignment with legal obligations and best practice for Richmond clearance providers.

Enforcement and consequences—Where non-compliance is confirmed, Richmond property clearance will take proportionate action up to termination of contracts, referral to authorities and remedial measures for affected workers. We apply consistent sanctions to protect people and uphold our standards.

Our leadership team is accountable for implementing this modern slavery statement and for promoting a culture where ethical conduct is expected and rewarded. We will continue to evolve our approach to modern slavery risk management as the regulatory and operational landscape changes, ensuring Richmond house clearance activities remain free from exploitation.

By publishing this statement, Richmond House Clearance reiterates its commitment to eliminating modern slavery in all forms from our business and our supply chain. We will report progress annually and maintain transparent oversight of supplier audits, reporting channels and our annual review process to ensure continuous improvement and sustained compliance.
