Modern Slavery Statement — Office Clearance Docklands

Office Clearance Docklands is committed to eliminating all forms of modern slavery throughout our operations and across our supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the approach adopted by our Docklands office clearance business, detailing a zero-tolerance policy and the systems we use to identify, prevent and remedy any form of forced labour or human trafficking. We recognise our responsibility as a provider of docklands office clearance services and are resolute in maintaining ethical practices across every contract and project.

Our zero-tolerance policy is clear: any discovery of modern slavery, exploitation or coercive labour practices will result in immediate action. All staff and contractors engaged in office clearance in Docklands must comply with this policy. We require that workers are employed freely, receive lawful pay and enjoy safe working conditions. Non-compliance with these standards will prompt swift contractual and operational measures, up to termination of relationships where remediation is not possible.

The scope of this policy covers direct operations, subcontractors and suppliers that support Office Clearance - Docklands projects. We maintain documented procurement procedures and due diligence checks to assess risk across categories such as labour hire, cleaning, logistics, waste disposal and specialist removal services. Staff are trained to spot indicators of exploitation and to escalate concerns through our internal channels.

Supplier Due Diligence, Audits and Expectations

We employ a risk-based supplier audit programme to verify compliance with anti-slavery standards. Our supplier audits include on-site visits, review of employment records, interviews with workers and assessment of recruitment practices. Key elements of our audit framework include:

• Verification of employment terms and lawful wage payments;
• Checks on recruitment fees to ensure workers are not indebted to agents;
• Assessment of working hours, accommodation and safety to confirm humane conditions;

We require suppliers to sign contractual clauses that reflect our modern slavery expectations and to adhere to a supplier code of conduct specific to Docklands office clearance engagements. Where audits identify shortcomings, we implement corrective action plans, set clear deadlines and may suspend or terminate suppliers who fail to remediate. Supplier selection now includes enhanced checks for high-risk categories and periodic re-assessments.

Reporting Channels, Investigation and Annual Review

Office Clearance Docklands provides multiple reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery, including anonymous reporting mechanisms and secure escalation routes. Reports are treated confidentially and promptly assessed. We operate a strict non-retaliation stance to protect whistleblowers and those who come forward in good faith.

All allegations are triaged by our compliance team and, where warranted, investigated by trained investigators. Investigations may include interviews, document reviews and independent verification. If exploitation is confirmed, we take immediate remedial steps which may include:

• Immediate suspension of implicated sites or suppliers;
• Remediation measures for affected workers, including ensuring back pay or safe repatriation;
• Contract termination and referral to law enforcement where criminal activity is suspected.

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and related policies to ensure continued relevance and effectiveness. The review process evaluates audit outcomes, incident reports, training completion rates and supplier performance. Each year the review informs targeted improvements — including updated supplier screening, refreshed staff training modules and strengthened contractual terms for our docklands office clearance partners.

We will continue to embed anti-slavery practices in procurement decisions and day-to-day operations. Through robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, a declared zero-tolerance policy and regular annual review cycles, Office Clearance Docklands strives to ensure that the dignity and rights of all workers are protected across our services in Docklands and beyond.
