Modern Slavery Statement — House Clearance Temple

House Clearance Temple is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This statement sets out the policies and actions taken by House Clearance Temple and Temple house clearance teams to ensure that our workforce and supply chain are free from exploitation. We apply a consistent approach across our local and contracted services, and we expect the same high standards from every supplier engaged in house-clearance Temple work.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. All staff, contractors and partners are required to adhere to this policy, and any evidence of non-compliance will result in immediate action. Our commitment is backed by senior management and forms part of core business practices for the Temple clearance services we provide.

Our anti-slavery expectations extend across the entire supply chain. We require suppliers and sub-contractors to demonstrate their compliance through documentation and contractual clauses. Key elements we assess include:

• Proof of lawful employment and right to work checks;
• Reasonable working hours, safe conditions and fair pay;
• Transparent recruitment practices and the absence of recruitment fees;

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We conduct due diligence on new and existing suppliers to identify and mitigate slavery risks. The process includes reviewing policies, conducting remote checks and requesting evidence of labour standards. For higher-risk suppliers we carry out enhanced checks and site visits as appropriate to the level of risk.

Supplier audits form a core part of our approach. Audits are scheduled based on risk assessments and may include document reviews, interviews and site inspections. We partner with third-party specialists where necessary to ensure impartiality. If an audit reveals concerns, we set clear remediation plans with timelines and follow-up assessments to verify corrective action.

Our procurement contracts include clauses that require suppliers to comply with anti-slavery legislation and to permit audits. Failure to implement or sustain satisfactory practices can result in contract termination and removal from our approved supplier list.

Reporting Channels, Training and Annual Review

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for staff, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports are treated seriously, assessed promptly and investigated by trained personnel. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and maintain confidentiality to the fullest extent possible during investigations.

Training forms an essential element of our prevention strategy. All employees involved in operations, procurement and site supervision receive regular training on recognising signs of exploitation and the correct steps to take if issues arise. Training materials are regularly updated to reflect evolving risks and legislation relevant to house clearance and Temple property services.

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our anti-slavery processes. The review evaluates the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting mechanisms, training uptake and remediation outcomes. Results are considered by senior management, and action plans are updated to strengthen controls where gaps are identified. Continuous improvement is central to the way we manage human rights risks across the business.

In summary, House Clearance Temple and our Temple house clearance operations maintain a clear stance: modern slavery is unacceptable. Through robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, comprehensive staff training and an annual review of processes, we strive to reduce risks and respond swiftly where issues are found. Our policies are applied consistently across all house-clearance Temple projects to safeguard people and uphold ethical standards.

We will continue to monitor legislation and best practice, adapt our controls and work with partners to eliminate any form of exploitation from the services we provide. This statement is published to reaffirm our responsibility and the concrete steps we take to combat modern slavery in every aspect of our business.

Signed on behalf of the leadership team, House Clearance Temple remains vigilant, accountable and proactive in protecting human rights across our operations and supply chain.
