Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Morden Commitment

Flat Clearance Morden is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. This statement outlines our policies, procedures and steps taken to uphold a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, exploitation and any form of coercion affecting workers who support our flat clearance and property services. We recognise the responsibility that comes with being a local service provider and commit to transparent action.

Our approach to combating modern slavery is grounded in clear governance. Flat clearance services in Morden are delivered under standards that require lawful working conditions, fair remuneration and the protection of rights throughout every stage of a job. We expect the same standards of our sub-contractors, partners and suppliers and communicate these expectations through contractual clauses and procurement criteria.

This Modern Slavery Statement applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers. It describes our policies, due diligence processes and the mechanisms available for reporting concerns. Flat-clearance Morden will not tolerate slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking and will take decisive action where risks are identified or incidents occur.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Leadership

Senior management maintain responsibility for implementation and compliance. Our zero-tolerance policy is embedded into company culture through formal leadership statements and operational directives. We ensure that our workforce understands that any breach of these principles is a serious disciplinary matter and may lead to termination and legal action.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

We map our supply chain to identify areas of potential risk, with attention to sectors and geographies where exploitation is more prevalent. For every supplier we assess:

• Employment practices and documentation checks;
• Subcontracting arrangements and labour supply chains;
• Remediation plans where risks are identified.

Our procurement terms require suppliers to comply with our anti-slavery requirements. We include contractual representations and audit rights so we can verify adherence. For high-risk suppliers, we conduct enhanced checks and request evidence of worker protections, wage records and recruitment practices.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We maintain a programme of supplier audits and third-party verifications. Audits are scheduled based on risk profiling and include documentary review and, where appropriate, site visits. Audit findings are recorded and acted upon through corrective action plans.

Key elements of our supplier audit process include:

• Verification of identity and legality of employment;
• Assessment of working hours, pay and working conditions;
• Interviews and anonymous channels to surface worker concerns;
• Follow-up checks to ensure remediation.

We train our procurement and operations teams to spot indicators of modern slavery and to escalate matters to senior management immediately. Where audits reveal non-compliance, we require prompt remediation and reserve the right to suspend or terminate contracts.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide secure and confidential reporting channels for employees, workers and third parties to raise concerns about suspected exploitation. Reports are investigated impartially and, where appropriate, referred to law enforcement. All reports are treated sensitively and retaliation is strictly prohibited.

Flat clearance in Morden promotes a speak-up culture. Training emphasises how to report and the protections afforded to whistleblowers. Our investigation process includes evidence gathering, risk mitigation for affected individuals and collaboration with external agencies if needed.

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and related policies. The review evaluates the effectiveness of our risk assessments, supplier audit outcomes, training uptake and reporting responses. Findings lead to continuous improvement measures, updated risk mitigation, and refreshed communications to staff and supply chain partners. This statement is approved by senior management and will be published and updated following each review cycle.

Flat Clearance Morden will continue to strengthen controls, promote transparency and work collaboratively across the industry to prevent modern slavery. Our ongoing priorities include enhancing supplier engagement, expanding training content and improving whistleblowing accessibility to ensure vulnerable workers are protected and that our operations remain free from exploitation.
