Modern Slavery Statement — Queens Park House Clearance

Queens Park House Clearance is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of its operations. This modern slavery statement sets out our principles, the measures we take and the expectations we place on our partners. We have a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, servitude, or human trafficking, and we require all colleagues and contractors to follow legally compliant and ethically robust practices across every house clearance, property clearance and related service in Queens Park.

Our commitment extends across the full span of Queens Park house clearance operations, where we ensure that recruitment, employment and subcontracting practices protect worker rights. We publish clear policies that describe prohibited practices and the consequences of breaches. The leadership team endorses a culture of vigilance and responsibility; managers are tasked with embedding anti-slavery principles into day-to-day decisions and procurement for every clearance job or estate clearance project.

We require robust supplier controls and regular supplier audits to manage risk across the supply chain. Key audit and compliance activities include:

• Risk-based supplier audits and spot checks to verify lawful employment practices.
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards and rights to audit.
• Ongoing assessment of recruitment agents and subcontractors engaged for Queens Park clearance work.

Scope, Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Our due diligence processes focus on identifying, assessing and mitigating modern slavery risks across our supply chain. We perform risk assessments for suppliers and subcontractors involved in house and property clearance; this includes checking employment practices, payroll systems and right-to-work documentation. Supplier audits combine documentary review with on-site verification where appropriate, concentrating on higher-risk suppliers and labour providers used in bulky waste removal, clearance logistics and estate clearance services.

We maintain a multi-faceted programme for monitoring and prevention. This includes staff training, mandatory compliance clauses in purchase orders and contracts, and periodic review of third-party labour provider arrangements. Our training emphasises how to spot indicators of forced labour and how to escalate concerns. We also use performance metrics to measure supplier compliance and to prioritise further audit activity for higher-risk partners across the Queens Park clearance network.

Where audits or intelligence indicate non-compliance, we take swift remedial action: corrective action plans, tighter supervision, suspension of work and, if needed, termination of contracts. Suppliers are made aware that continued business depends on meeting our standards; we will not tolerate suppliers who knowingly facilitate exploitative labour practices in any Queens Park house clearance or property clearance activity.

Reporting Channels, Accountability and Annual Review

We provide secure and confidential reporting channels for staff, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery or exploitation. Reports can be made anonymously and will be handled by trained investigators. Our whistleblowing protections ensure that anyone who reports in good faith shall not suffer retaliation. All allegations are logged, risk assessed and investigated in line with our internal procedures and applicable law.

Reporting channels include internal escalation pathways and confidential reporting mechanisms that preserve anonymity where requested. We emphasise clear, safe routes to report suspected abuses and ensure timely response, including referral to appropriate authorities when criminal conduct is suspected. Our approach is designed to encourage reporting of concerns relating to any Queens Park clearance operations while protecting the reporter and ensuring investigative integrity.

The statement and our anti-slavery programme are reviewed at least annually by senior management and the board. The annual review evaluates the effectiveness of supplier audits, remediation records, training completion rates, and reporting outcomes. We commit to continuous improvement: findings from reviews inform policy updates, strengthened contractual terms, and targeted audit schedules for future Queens Park house clearance contracts. This Modern Slavery Statement is endorsed by company leadership and represents our public commitment to ethical practice and human rights.
