Modern Slavery Statement — Westham House Clearance

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the stance of Westham House Clearance and affiliated Westham home clearance teams on the elimination of modern slavery and human trafficking from our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, bonded labour, servitude, or exploitation. As a provider of clearance and waste management services, Westham house clearance recognises its responsibility to respect human rights, mitigate risks, and act promptly where concerns arise.

Our commitment covers every part of the business: from in-house staff and contractors to the network of suppliers and sub-contractors who support our Westham clearance services. We train employees to recognise the signs of exploitation and ensure everyone understands that compliance with anti-slavery principles is compulsory. Pre-employment checks, clear terms of engagement and fair pay practices are standard across all roles.

We operate a programme of supplier due diligence and supplier audits designed to assess risk and drive continuous improvement. Key elements include:

• Risk-based supplier screening before onboarding and periodically thereafter;
• Contractual clauses requiring suppliers to adhere to anti-slavery standards and to provide evidence of compliance;
• On-site and remote audits targeting labour practices, documentation, and worker welfare;
• Corrective action plans and escalation procedures for non-compliance;
• Regular review of high-risk categories such as manual labour subcontracting and third-party transport providers.

Our supplier audit process is underpinned by clear governance. The compliance team conducts audits and reports findings to senior management, ensuring issues are addressed promptly. We use a mix of announced and unannounced checks and, where necessary, engage independent auditors or labour rights experts. Suppliers who fail to meet minimum standards face remedial action, and persistent breaches may lead to contract termination to protect workers and preserve our ethical standards.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide secure reporting channels for employees, contractors, suppliers and members of the public to raise concerns about modern slavery in connection with Westham House-Clearance operations. Reports may be made confidentially and, where requested, anonymously. We encourage early reporting and guarantee that anyone raising a genuine concern will be protected from retaliation. All reports are logged, investigated and tracked to resolution, and appropriate remedial steps are taken where misconduct is confirmed.

Enforcement, Training and Continuous Improvement

We deliver regular training for staff and managers on recognising signs of exploitation, safe reporting, and supplier oversight. Westham houseclearance runs scenario-based sessions and distribution of clear policy materials to ensure understanding at operational level. Enforcement mechanisms include contract termination, sanctions and referral to law enforcement where criminal conduct is suspected. We strive to improve performance year-on-year through better data, supplier engagement and stakeholder collaboration.

Governance and annual review: the Board reviews this Modern Slavery Statement at least once every 12 months as part of our commitment to transparency and accountability. The annual review examines the effectiveness of our policies, supplier audit outcomes, training uptake and the responsiveness of our reporting channels. Findings inform updates to policy, procurement practices and risk assessments across Westham House Clearance and associated business units.

In summary, Westham Clearance and Westham House Clearance teams adopt a proactive, risk-based approach to prevent modern slavery. Our zero tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, confidential reporting channels and a committed annual review process work together to reduce risk, protect workers and ensure that our clearance services operate ethically and lawfully. We will continue to refine our approach, engage partners and uphold high standards to eliminate modern slavery wherever we may encounter it.

Signed on behalf of Westham House Clearance — this statement is reviewed annually and will be updated to reflect changes in operations, legislation, or stakeholder expectations.
