At Flat Clearance Barbican we present this Modern Slavery Statement to affirm our unwavering commitment to ethical practice across every stage of our operations. This statement applies to all activities related to flat clearance in Barbican and sets out how we prevent, detect and respond to any form of forced labour, human trafficking or exploitation in our supply chain. We recognise our responsibility as a Barbican flat clearance specialist to operate with integrity, transparency and respect for human rights.

Flat Clearance Barbican: Our Commitment

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. Flat Clearance Barbican services are delivered only where we are satisfied that workers are engaged freely, fairly and safely. Any evidence of exploitation will result in immediate action, including termination of relationships with suppliers and referral to relevant authorities. Our approach is preventive and proactive: we identify risk, apply controls and enforce consequences.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Supplier Expectations

Our zero-tolerance stance is embedded in contractual terms and procurement practices. Suppliers to Flat Clearance Barbican must comply with our standards and confirm adherence to laws concerning wages, hours, working conditions and the prohibition of bonded or coerced labour. We require that all partners engaged in Barbican flat clearances maintain records demonstrating lawful employment practices and allow verification where necessary. Non-compliance triggers corrective action and may lead to contract termination.

To reinforce these commitments we undertake regular supplier audits and risk-based assessments. Audits assess recruitment practices, payroll, worker documentation and living conditions where relevant. Our audit objectives include:

• Verification of lawful employment and right-to-work checks
• Assessment of recruitment fees and debt bondage risks
• Review of working hours, pay and benefits
• Interviews with workers and on-site inspections

Reporting Channels, Protection and Accountability

Flat Clearance Barbican provides clear reporting channels so concerns about potential modern slavery can be raised safely and confidentially. Workers, suppliers and third parties are encouraged to report concerns through designated internal routes or via anonymous reporting mechanisms. Reports are handled promptly, impartially and with protections against retaliation. We train staff and contractors on recognising signs of exploitation, on how to report, and on their duty to escalate serious concerns.

Our escalation and response protocols ensure that suspected instances are investigated, documented and referred to appropriate agencies as necessary. We work collaboratively with enforcement bodies and NGOs where required and will take remedial steps for affected individuals, including safe exit and support arrangements. The Barbican flat clearance team is responsible for implementing corrective actions and ensuring that lessons learned inform future prevention.

We conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our due diligence processes. The review examines the effectiveness of supplier audits, the sufficiency of reporting channels, training uptake and the impact of remedial actions. Findings are used to refine policies, escalate resource allocation where risk is identified and strengthen our procurement controls. As a provider of flat-clearance Barbican services, we continuously update our approach to reflect evolving legislation and best practice.

Flat Clearance Barbican remains committed to transparency and continual improvement. We expect all partners to share this commitment and to cooperate fully with our anti-slavery measures. Through robust supplier audits, clear reporting channels, a strict zero-tolerance policy and an annual review cycle, we aim to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our operations or supply chains.
