Rubbish Clearance Harrow modern slavery statement outlining our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual reviews to combat exploitation.
Get a quoteRubbish Clearance Harrow is firmly committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery is a serious violation of human rights and we take active, ongoing steps to identify, prevent, and address any risk of exploitation connected with our services. This statement sets out the measures we take to uphold ethical working practices and respect for every individual.
We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, and any form of servitude. This applies to our own operations, our employees, contractors, and every organisation that supplies goods or services to us. Any partner found to be involved in practices that amount to modern slavery will face immediate investigation and, where appropriate, termination of the business relationship and reporting to the relevant authorities.
Our managers are responsible for promoting this zero-tolerance stance in their teams, ensuring that all staff understand that unethical conduct is completely unacceptable and will result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal where permitted by law.
Rubbish Clearance Harrow provides waste removal and rubbish clearance services across Harrow and the surrounding areas. Our supply chain includes providers of vehicles, fuel, equipment, uniforms, temporary labour, and office services. We recognise that certain parts of the waste and recycling sector and wider logistics and labour markets can be vulnerable to exploitation. We therefore pay particular attention to how we source labour, dispose of waste, and procure goods and services that support our operations.
We expect all suppliers and subcontractors to uphold the same high standards that we apply internally. As a condition of working with us, suppliers must confirm that they comply with all applicable laws on modern slavery and human rights and that they do not engage in forced, bonded, or involuntary labour.
We conduct proportionate checks on existing and new suppliers, focusing on those presenting higher risk because of geography, sector, or use of low-paid or temporary workers. These checks may include reviewing company policies, requesting written confirmations regarding labour practices, and assessing how workers are recruited and paid.
Where appropriate, we carry out audits or site visits to verify that suppliers meet our standards. Any concerns identified during an audit must be addressed through an agreed corrective action plan within a specified timeframe. Failure to cooperate or to adequately remedy risks may result in the cessation of the business relationship.
All staff are encouraged to remain vigilant for signs of exploitation, such as workers showing fear of supervisors, withholding of identity documents, or unusual wage arrangements. We communicate our modern slavery policy during induction and through periodic internal updates, ensuring employees understand how to raise concerns.
Employees, agency workers, and third parties can report any suspicion of modern slavery through our internal reporting channels. Concerns may be raised with a line manager, a senior manager, or directly with designated management responsible for compliance and ethics. Reports can be made in confidence, and we will not tolerate victimisation of anyone who raises a concern in good faith.
All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly. Where needed, we will collaborate with law enforcement or other relevant bodies to protect individuals at risk and to support further action.
We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. Rubbish Clearance Harrow is committed to continually improving our processes to better identify and manage risk. We review our risk assessments, supplier monitoring, and training materials on a regular basis to ensure they remain effective and proportionate to our size and operations.
This modern slavery statement is reviewed annually by senior management to reflect any changes in legislation, industry guidance, or our business structure. Updates may include enhanced supplier checks, further staff training, or new procedures to strengthen reporting and oversight. By reviewing this statement each year, we aim to ensure that our approach to modern slavery remains robust, transparent, and aligned with our core values of integrity and respect for people.
