Modern Slavery Statement — Kensington House Clearance Commitment
Kensington House Clearance maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking across all areas of our operations and supply chain. This Kensington house clearance statement sets out our principles, actions and expectations. We are dedicated to preventing exploitation in every clearance, disposal and removal activity and to promoting ethical practices among partners and subcontractors.
We require all staff and contractors to comply with our standards and to participate in mandatory training. Our hiring practices include identity verification, right-to-work checks and documented contracts. We will not tolerate forced labour, bonded labour, or any form of exploitative practice in Kensington Clearance Services.
Where concerns arise we act promptly to investigate, protect affected people and impose remedial measures. Our approach emphasises prevention through awareness, suppression through enforcement and remediation where victims are identified. These procedures apply to Kensington House-Clearance operations and to third-party providers engaged on our behalf.
Supplier audits, checks and monitoring of partners
We operate a robust supplier audit programme to ensure compliance with labour standards and legal requirements. Before onboarding, suppliers face due diligence that assesses employment practices, recruitment chains and subcontractor relationships. Audits are risk-based and prioritise regions and vendors with higher exposure to modern slavery risks.
Our audit activities include documented visits, review of payroll and recruitment records, interviews and remedial action plans where necessary. We also require suppliers to adopt our code of conduct and to permit independent verification. Key elements include:
- Pre-engagement checks and risk scoring
- Regular on-site inspections and remote compliance reviews
- Corrective action plans and potential contract termination for non-compliance
Reporting channels, investigations and annual review
Reporting channels are clearly defined and accessible to employees, contractors and third parties. We provide confidential routes to raise concerns, including anonymous reporting mechanisms and protected whistleblowing processes. Reports are treated seriously and investigated by trained personnel with impartiality.
When an allegation is raised we follow a structured investigation protocol: immediately safeguarding welfare, preserving evidence, engaging specialists where necessary and collaborating with relevant authorities. We ensure that individuals who report concerns are protected from retaliation and that victim support is prioritised.
Our modern slavery statement is subject to an annual review to measure effectiveness and to drive continual improvement. The review considers audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance, training completion rates and any legislative changes. The Board receives the reviewed statement and approves updates, ensuring Kensington Clearance Services remains vigilant and responsive. In conclusion, Kensington House Clearance (also referred to as Kensington Clearance Services or Kensington house clearance) is committed to maintaining a culture of respect for human rights. Our combined strategy of a zero-tolerance policy, targeted supplier audits, secure reporting channels and a rigorous annual review demonstrates our ongoing commitment to eliminate modern slavery from our activities and value chain.
