Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Norbiton

Office Clearance Norbiton recognises its responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we have taken and continue to take to ensure that all people involved with our services are treated with dignity and that forced labour, child labour and exploitation are not tolerated in any form.

Our commitment is clear: we maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery across every project, whether delivering a Norbiton office clearance, supporting a local business move, or partnering with third-party suppliers. We require all colleagues, contractors and partners to comply with our ethical standards and contractual obligations.

To make this practical we implement regular supplier due diligence and audits. Our supplier audit programme evaluates risk, monitors compliance and drives improvements through documented corrective actions. Key audit checks include working hours, payroll practices, identity verification, recruitment arrangements and subcontractor oversight. The following elements are core to our supplier controls:

• Pre-engagement risk assessments for suppliers providing clearance, waste removal and disposal services
• Periodic on-site and remote supplier audits to check compliance with anti-slavery policies
• Contract clauses that require adherence to our modern slavery standards and permit audit access

Zero-tolerance policy and enforcement

We apply a strict zero-tolerance policy that applies to all staff, contractors and suppliers engaged in Norbiton office clearance activities. Any breach of this policy results in immediate investigation and proportionate disciplinary and contractual actions, up to termination of employment or contract. We communicate expectations clearly through supplier agreements and internal codes of conduct.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

We maintain multiple safe reporting channels so concerns can be raised confidentially and without fear of reprisal. Employees and external partners can report suspected modern slavery issues through established internal routes or designated, independent reporting mechanisms. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and actioned in line with our safeguarding protocols. We encourage the use of confidential reporting to ensure protective measures are in place for vulnerable individuals.

All reports enter a documented incident management process. Investigations are conducted by trained personnel and, where appropriate, external specialists and legal advisers are engaged. We ensure victims receive support and that law enforcement is notified when required by law.

Our procurement and supply chain teams work to minimise risk through contractual safeguards, supplier selection criteria and ongoing monitoring. For Norbiton office clearance operations we prioritise suppliers who demonstrate transparency, provide worker documentation and operate responsible recruitment practices. We also include periodic reassessments to adapt to changing risk profiles.

Training and awareness form a key part of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in operations, procurement and contract management receive regular training on recognising signs of exploitation, how to use reporting channels and the legal and ethical responsibilities associated with modern slavery prevention. We also provide tailored briefings for teams engaged in site clearances and waste handling to ensure compliance in practical settings.

Annual review and continuous improvement: this statement is reviewed at least annually to measure effectiveness and identify enhancements. Our annual review considers audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance and evolving regulatory expectations. Findings are reported to senior management and used to update policies, training and supplier engagement practices. We strive for continual improvement in our prevention measures and accountability frameworks.

In summary, Office Clearance Norbiton is fully committed to preventing modern slavery and trafficking in all forms. We pursue a proactive approach combining zero-tolerance enforcement, supplier audits, secure reporting channels and regular review to protect individuals and strengthen ethical standards across our operations.

We will continue to refine our processes, invest in staff training and work collaboratively with partners to ensure that every Norbiton office clearance and related activity upholds the highest standards of human rights and worker protection.

Approved by senior management and reviewed annually, this statement represents our ongoing pledge to eradicate modern slavery within our sphere of influence.
