Kings Cross House Clearance Modern Slavery Statement
Kings Cross House Clearance (also referred to as Kings Cross house clearance) confirms its commitment to combatting modern slavery and human trafficking across all operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our approach, policies and the actions we take to ensure that King's Cross house clearance activities are free from exploitation. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy and expect the same standards from our suppliers, sub-contractors and partners.Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
We operate a clear, uncompromising stance: modern slavery, forced labour, child labour and human trafficking are unacceptable in any form within our business or supply chain. Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded into procurement, operations and staff training. All employees and contractors engaged with Kings Cross House Clearance are expected to adhere to this policy and report concerns through our secure reporting channels. We use plain language, training and policy statements to ensure awareness at every level.
We require every trading partner working with KingsCross house clearance operations to confirm compliance with anti-slavery standards as part of contractual terms. Our supplier code of conduct includes clauses on working hours, fair pay, right to leave, and prohibition of excessive recruitment fees. To support transparency we deploy a risk-based audit programme, prioritising higher-risk suppliers and locations and using document checks, on-site visits and third-party verification.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
Our supplier audits are a core control. They combine desktop reviews with physical inspections and worker interviews where appropriate. Audit outcomes are categorised and acted upon: minor issues require corrective action plans; serious breaches trigger suspension of services and potential contract termination. We use audit findings to inform procurement decisions and to drive continuous improvement across the supply base.
Reporting channels are accessible and protected. Employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns via confidential internal reporting mechanisms, anonymous whistleblowing routes and through management escalation. We ensure reports are investigated promptly, impartially and with protection for whistleblowers. All allegations are logged, risk-assessed and subject to follow-up actions to remediate harm and prevent recurrence.
We support workers’ rights through awareness campaigns, induction materials and targeted training for staff and managers involved in clearance and clearance logistics. Our employment processes emphasise lawful recruitment, identity checks and verification of the right to work. Where temporary labour is engaged, we require evidence of fair recruitment practices and monitor for signs of coercion, retention of documents or restrictions on movement.
Supplier relationships are monitored continuously. We set clear performance indicators related to ethical labour standards, and we track remediation progress against action plans. Remedial steps include supplier training, re-audits, financial penalties where appropriate and, in severe cases, contract termination. These measures ensure our house clearance services across Kings Cross and surrounding areas do not rely on exploitative practices.
The policy and its implementation are subject to an annual review, ensuring effectiveness and alignment with evolving legislation and industry best practice. The annual review examines audit outcomes, reported incidents, remediation success rates and training completion levels. Findings lead to refreshed risk assessments, revised supplier requirements and updated staff training materials to strengthen protections against modern slavery.
In summary, Kings Cross House Clearance takes a proactive, practical and accountable approach to preventing modern slavery. Our measures include:
- Zero-tolerance policy embedded in contracts and operations;
- Regular supplier audits and due diligence;
- Secure reporting channels for concerns and whistleblowing;
- Annual review and continuous improvement of policies.
