Flat Clearance Lambeth: Modern Slavery Statement
Flat Clearance Lambeth is committed to preventing all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations and supply chain. This modern slavery statement explains our position, the steps we take and the ongoing commitment of our team. We refer to the company as Flat Clearance Lambeth, Lambeth flat clearance and flat clearance in Lambeth throughout this statement to reflect our local and operational focus.
Scope and Commitment
We apply a zero-tolerance policy to any instances of forced labour, child exploitation or coercive practices. Our zero tolerance approach is non-negotiable: any supplier, contractor or employee found to be involved in modern slavery will face immediate action. We will terminate relationships with parties who breach these standards and will pursue remediation where victims are identified.
We believe that transparency, continual monitoring and clear accountability are essential. This statement covers our activities relating to flat clearance work in Lambeth and adjacent areas, and our relationships with crews, subcontractors and material suppliers. As part of our anti-slavery measures we assess risk, document findings and maintain records of supplier checks and remediation steps.
Risk Assessment and Supplier Due Diligence
Our risk assessment process identifies high-risk activities and suppliers. We evaluate labour practices, recruitment channels and working conditions to detect indicators of exploitation. We use multiple risk factors, including geographic risk, labour intensity and subcontracting arrangements.Supplier Audits and Checks
We operate a structured supplier audit programme. Audits include onsite visits, worker interviews and document review. Core actions include:- Pre-engagement screening for all new suppliers and subcontractors.
- Periodic supplier audits with documented corrective action plans.
- Verification of payroll, employment contracts and recruitment fees.
- Random and scheduled compliance checks for high-risk suppliers.
If issues are identified during audits we require immediate corrective action. We prioritise remediation for affected workers and, where necessary, remove non-compliant partners from our supply chain. We use contractual clauses to embed modern slavery obligations into supplier agreements and reserve the right to terminate contracts for serious breaches.
Training, Policies and Internal Controls
All staff and contractors receive training on recognising signs of exploitation, proper recruitment practices and reporting channels. Our internal controls include financial oversight, secure record-keeping and supervision of frontline teams performing flat clearance work in Lambeth.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We provide multiple, confidential reporting channels for workers, contractors or members of the public to raise concerns. Reports can be made anonymously through designated internal routes. We maintain a clear non-retaliation policy: anyone raising a concern in good faith will be protected. Our reporting channels are actively publicised to staff and supply partners.
Monitoring, Effectiveness and Annual Review
We review our modern slavery actions annually to ensure effectiveness. The review measures audit outcomes, training completion, reported incidents and remedial actions. Results inform continuous improvement and policy updates. Each year an internal governance team documents findings, updates the modern slavery statement where required and sets targets for the following year.Flat Clearance Lambeth remains resolute in combating modern slavery and human trafficking in every aspect of our work. We will continue refining our supplier audits, enhancing reporting channels and strengthening our zero-tolerance policy to protect workers and communities. This statement will be re-evaluated and published following the annual review to reflect progress and new risk mitigations.
