Flat Clearance Millbank: Modern Slavery and Human Rights Statement

Flat Clearance Millbank is committed to upholding human rights and preventing modern slavery across every aspect of our operations. This statement outlines our approach to preventing forced labour, human trafficking and any form of exploitation within our flat clearance in Millbank services and supply chains. We set a clear expectation of ethical conduct and compliance for all colleagues, contractors and partners.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. All staff are required to adhere to this policy when delivering Millbank flat clearance work or when engaging suppliers. Any breach of this policy will result in immediate investigation and proportionate action, which may include termination of contracts or employment.

Zero tolerance means we do not ignore warning signs. We actively seek to identify risks and take decisive steps to remedy and prevent harm. Our obligations extend beyond legal compliance: they reflect our values, including respect, dignity and safety for everyone involved in flat clearing in Millbank and related activities.

Supplier audits and due diligence form a core part of how we reduce risk. We conduct risk-based audits of suppliers and contractors who support our flat clearance operations in Millbank, with particular focus on labour practices, recruitment fees, working hours and evidence of legitimate employment.

Audits include document reviews, site visits and interviews. We maintain a supplier code of conduct and require contractual assurances that suppliers comply with anti-slavery laws. Key audit elements include:

• Verification of identity and right to work;
• Assessment of recruitment and wage practices;
• Inspection of subcontracting arrangements;
• Review of grievance and whistleblowing mechanisms.

Where audits identify concerns, we work collaboratively with suppliers to implement corrective action plans. If a supplier fails to remedy critical issues within agreed timeframes, we will suspend or terminate the relationship to protect workers and our ethical standards.

Reporting channels are available to all workers, subcontractors and stakeholders who wish to raise concerns about suspected slavery or exploitation. We provide multiple safe and confidential reporting routes so that people can speak up without fear of retaliation.

Reports are handled promptly and sensitively. Our process ensures that allegations are investigated by trained personnel and that appropriate referrals are made to law enforcement or specialist support services when necessary. We emphasise that anyone raising concerns will be treated with respect and confidentiality.

Annual Review, Training and Continuous Improvement

We undertake an annual review of our modern slavery strategy for Flat Clearance Millbank and related services to ensure policies and procedures remain effective. This review evaluates audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance and emerging risks. It informs updates to training, contractual terms and operational controls.

Training is mandatory for staff with procurement or operational responsibilities. Training materials cover recognition of exploitation indicators, correct reporting protocol and the expectations we place on suppliers. We also provide targeted briefings for teams engaged in Millbank flat clearance and clearance logistics.

Governance of this statement sits with senior management who are accountable for implementation, resource allocation and oversight. Progress is reported internally and used to drive measurable improvements.

Through robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, mandatory training and an annual review cycle, we seek to prevent modern slavery in all forms within our Millbank flat clearance services. Flat Clearance Millbank remains resolute in its refusal to tolerate exploitation and will continue to strengthen measures that protect human dignity in our operations and supply chain.
