Modern Slavery Statement — Flat Clearance Blackwall

Flat Clearance Blackwall declares a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, human trafficking or forced labour across our operations and supply chains. This statement explains our commitments, the steps we take to prevent exploitation in flat clearance in Blackwall projects, and how we expect suppliers and contractors to comply with our standards. Our aim is to ensure that every Blackwall flat clearance engagement respects human rights and statutory obligations.

Our modern slavery policy applies to all employees, temporary workers, subcontractors and suppliers engaged by Flat Clearance - Blackwall. We require that everyone involved with our flat clearance services Blackwall adheres to clear standards on working hours, wages, safe working conditions and the right to leave employment. We will not tolerate exploitative practices and will take decisive action if any are identified. This includes terminating relationships with parties found to be in breach.

We commit to training staff and management on recognising indicators of modern slavery and reporting concerns. Regular briefings and mandatory awareness sessions ensure that our teams on the ground in Blackwall and our administrative staff understand their responsibilities and the practical steps to protect vulnerable workers. Strong internal controls and clear lines of accountability support these efforts.

Supplier due diligence and audits

Flat Clearance Blackwall conducts supplier audits and risk assessments as part of our procurement and vendor management processes. We screen suppliers for modern slavery risks and require contractual assurances of compliance. Key elements include:

• Pre-engagement checks including verification of recruitment practices;
• On-site audits and documentation reviews for higher-risk suppliers;
• Corrective action plans where issues are identified.

We use proportionate audit cycles, with higher frequency for suppliers linked to hazardous work or complex subcontracting arrangements. Audits combine desktop reviews with physical inspections, interviews and payroll checks. If irregularities are discovered, we require immediate remediation and monitor progress until issues are resolved. Persistent non-compliance will result in contract termination.

Our procurement team maintains a risk register for Blackwall flat clearance contractors and suppliers, which is reviewed regularly. We require suppliers to flow down anti-slavery obligations to their subcontractors, ensuring ethical standards across the entire supply chain for flat clearance in Blackwall operations.

Reporting channels, governance and annual review

We provide confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery. Reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly by senior management. Reports made in good faith will be protected from retaliation. Anyone observing exploitation, coercion or suspicious working conditions should report through the designated internal mechanisms.

Responsibility for implementing this policy sits with our senior leadership team and the compliance function, with support from operational managers across our Blackwall flat clearance teams. Roles and responsibilities are defined in our governance framework, ensuring the policy is embedded into day-to-day operations and procurement decisions.

Flat Clearance Blackwall will review this Modern Slavery Statement at least annually to measure effectiveness, update risk assessments, and refine audit and training programmes. The annual review ensures continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery in our flat clearance services and maintains alignment with evolving legal and industry standards. We will publish updates to reflect progress and any significant changes in our supply chain.
