Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Chelsea

Flat Clearance Chelsea is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. This statement outlines our approach for the Chelsea flat clearance and related services. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, bonded labour, or human trafficking. We expect the same high standards from our contractors and suppliers. Our Chelsea apartment clearance work will never compromise ethical labour standards.

Scope and Commitments

We apply these principles across all activities including Chelsea flat clearance projects, relocation clearances and tenancy handovers. Our commitment covers employees, temporary staff, subcontractors and third-party vendors. We will not engage or retain suppliers who condone or practice modern slavery. All staff receive awareness training so that risks associated with small-scale clearances and larger estate work are recognised and escalated promptly.

We operate under a transparent accountability model. Every Chelsea flat clearance contract contains mandatory compliance clauses covering working hours, wage protections and the right to work. We require documentation and declarations from suppliers and reserve the right to terminate relationships where violations are found. This is part of our ongoing drive to ensure ethical standards in flat clearance in Chelsea and surrounding boroughs.

Supplier due diligence is central to our approach. Before onboarding, suppliers undergo checks including identity verification, employment practice reviews and checks on recruitment intermediaries. We use risk-based screening for vendors who supply manual labour, removals, waste disposal or cleaning for any Chelsea flat clearance assignment. Suppliers who fail to meet our standards will be declined or required to remediate immediately.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We conduct regular supplier audits and site visits. Audits include documentary review and, where practical, on-site interviews with workers. Audit findings lead to corrective action plans, and repeat non-compliance results in contract suspension or termination. Our audit programme targets higher-risk partners more frequently and includes random checks on crew documentation during Chelsea flat tidy and clearance operations.

• Pre-engagement checks and contract clauses
• Periodic and unannounced supplier audits
• Worker interviews and verification of pay records

Reporting channels are in place to allow staff, suppliers and the public to raise concerns securely and confidentially. We maintain an internal reporting mechanism for employees and a whistleblowing route that protects those who report in good faith. Reports relating to Chelsea flat clearance projects are triaged by trained compliance personnel and escalated to senior management when appropriate. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern.

In addition to internal channels, any serious incidents are reported to the relevant authorities without delay. We ensure reported cases are investigated promptly, thoroughly and impartially. Where modern slavery or trafficking is identified, we will cooperate with law enforcement, support affected individuals and take immediate corrective steps with the supplier in question, up to and including contract termination.

Training and continuous improvement underpin our efforts. All team members involved in procurement, operations and on-site clearance work receive mandatory training on recognising signs of exploitation and how to respond. We maintain clear procurement policies and provide suppliers with guidance on expectations and how to comply with anti-slavery obligations.

Performance metrics are tracked and reviewed quarterly. We record the number of supplier audits completed, issues raised, remedial actions taken and any contract terminations linked to modern slavery concerns. These metrics inform risk assessments for future Chelsea flat clearance engagements and help prioritise audit activity.

We embed contractual protections in every engagement: wage and hours compliance, verification of recruitment channels, and requirements for workers to retain control of identity documents. These terms are a standard part of agreements for Chelsea apartment clearance, relocation services and tenant exit clearances.

Our policies are reviewed at least annually to reflect legislative changes, evolving risks and lessons learned from incidents and audits. This annual review involves the senior leadership team and our compliance committee, and results are documented and actioned to strengthen controls across all flat clearance in Chelsea operations.

To summarise, Flat Clearance Chelsea enforces a steadfast anti-slavery standard across its services. We operate a zero-tolerance stance, undertake robust supplier audits, maintain confidential reporting channels and commit to an annual review cycle that drives continuous improvement. These measures aim to ensure that every Chelsea flat clearance we undertake is conducted ethically and responsibly.
