Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Stratford Commitment

Office Clearance Stratford is fully committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chains. This statement outlines our stance, the actions we take, and the expectations we set for partners engaged in office clearance in Stratford and surrounding areas. Our approach is built on transparency, accountability and an unwavering zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour.

We operate as a responsible provider of stratford office clearance services and ensure every team member and contractor understands their obligations. Our senior leadership endorses this statement and allocates resources to both prevention and detection. We believe ethical procurement and robust operational controls are essential to mitigate the risk of modern slavery throughout our operations.

Zero-tolerance policy: We will not tolerate any practices that constitute modern slavery, including forced, bonded or involuntary labour, human trafficking, or exploitative working conditions. Any evidence or credible allegation of such practices will prompt immediate investigation and appropriate remedial actions, including termination of relationships with suppliers or contractors where necessary. Our identity as a reputable office-clearance Stratford company depends on strict adherence to these values.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We require all suppliers and subcontractors to adhere to our anti-slavery standards. As part of our procurement process we conduct risk assessments and set clear contractual obligations related to worker rights and ethical employment. These obligations form part of supplier agreements for Office Clearance Stratford Ltd and are monitored periodically.

Supplier audits form a core element of our compliance framework. We carry out a combination of desktop reviews, documentary checks and on-site inspections for higher-risk partners. Audits assess recruitment practices, pay records, working hours, health and safety, and evidence of freely given consent to employment. Records of these audits are maintained, and improvement plans are required where deficiencies are found.

We maintain a continuous improvement program for supplier management. Key measures include:

• Risk-based audits targeted at suppliers in higher-risk sectors or geographies;
• Contract clauses mandating adherence to our anti-slavery code;
• Corrective action plans and follow-up audits to ensure compliance;
• Training for procurement staff and operational managers on spotting and reporting indicators of modern slavery.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple secure channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports can be submitted anonymously or openly and will be handled sensitively and promptly. We commit to protecting whistleblowers from retaliation and to investigating all reports impartially.

Our investigation process involves timely fact-finding, risk assessment, engagement with affected parties and referral to appropriate authorities where criminal conduct is suspected. We document outcomes and take remedial steps such as worker support, supplier remediation or termination of contracts as required.

Annual Review and Transparency: We review this Modern Slavery Statement at least once every twelve months to reflect evolving risks, regulatory changes and lessons learned from audits and reported incidents. The review considers the effectiveness of due diligence, the scope of supplier checks, training uptake and the adequacy of reporting mechanisms. Updates to policy or practice are approved by senior management and communicated across the business and to relevant supply chain partners.
