Modern Slavery Statement — Maidavale House Clearance

Maidavale House Clearance is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This statement sets out our approach and the practical measures we take to ensure that Maidavale house clearance activity and related services are free from exploitation. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, debt bondage, or human trafficking across the business and supply chain.

Our values require that every employee, contractor and partner understands the risks associated with modern slavery. We operate with transparency and accountability and expect the same from those who act on behalf of Maidavale clearance services. The policy is embedded in our procurement terms, employee handbooks and induction training courses to ensure consistent standards across our teams.

To reinforce this approach, we conduct thorough due diligence on suppliers and subcontractors. Our supplier audits assess compliance with labour standards, working hours, wage practices and the right to work. When risks are identified, we implement corrective action plans or, where necessary, terminate relationships. These supplier audits are a core part of how Maidavale House clearance upholds its responsibilities and mitigates exploitation risk.

Policies, Reporting and Training

Zero-tolerance policy: All staff and suppliers are required to comply with our anti-slavery rules. Breaches of this policy will result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal or contract termination. Our procurement contracts include explicit clauses prohibiting forced labour and requiring prompt remediation where issues are discovered.

We provide regular training and awareness sessions for operatives, administrative staff and management focused on recognizing indicators of modern slavery and the correct steps to take. Training is refreshed annually and whenever changes to legislation or business practice demand updates. We encourage a culture where concerns are raised promptly and treated seriously.

Reporting channels: Maidavale house-clearance supports multiple confidential reporting mechanisms so staff or third parties can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. These channels include anonymous reporting options, secure internal reporting to senior compliance officers and a clear escalation path for urgent issues. All reports are logged, investigated and acted upon in a timely manner.

Supplier Controls, Monitoring and Review

We maintain a risk-based supplier management program that includes document verification, on-site inspections where appropriate, and periodic re-assessment of higher-risk providers. Our contract teams ensure that new suppliers accept our standards before onboarding and that existing partners are continuously monitored for compliance.

In addition to supplier audits, we use operational checks during house clearance projects — including worker identity verification and supervision protocols — to reduce the opportunity for exploitative practices. Any anomalies discovered during operations trigger immediate reviews and, if necessary, suspension of the supplier pending investigation.

Accountability is supported by clear governance: responsibilities for modern slavery compliance sit with senior management and are reported to the board. We document findings from audits and incidents and ensure remedial measures are tracked to completion.

Annual review and continuous improvement: Maidavale House Clearance commits to an annual review of this statement and our policies, adjusting our approach in response to audit outcomes, legislative changes and emerging risks. The annual review process includes evaluating the effectiveness of training, the robustness of supplier audits and the responsiveness of our reporting channels.

We will update our controls and publish appropriate internal communications following each review cycle. Progress is recorded against measurable objectives and used to shape future activity and investment in compliance resources.

Conclusion: Maidavale clearance service takes modern slavery seriously. Through a combination of a clear zero-tolerance policy, rigorous supplier audits, secure reporting channels and a commitment to annual review, we strive to prevent exploitation in our operations and supply chain. Our continuing goal is to protect the dignity and rights of everyone connected with Maidavale house clearance work and to ensure ethical, lawful conduct in every aspect of our business.
