Modern Slavery Statement — Millhill House Clearance

Millhill House Clearance affirms a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in any part of our operations or supply chains. This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our commitment to preventing exploitation, protecting workers and maintaining responsible business practices across all house clearance, waste removal and estate services. We recognise that the risk of modern slavery exists in many sectors and we take proactive steps to reduce and eliminate those risks from our activities.

We deploy robust policies, clear expectations and training for staff so that everyone who works for or with Millhill House Clearance understands our stance. Our approach to avoiding exploitation combines due diligence, routine monitoring and a clear framework for action if concerns arise. We publish this slavery and human trafficking statement to set out the steps we take and to drive continued improvement.

Our company statement on modern slavery applies across the Millhill House Clearance group and to all subcontractors and suppliers. We use varied terminology including modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour to ensure that our policies cover the full scope of exploitative practices. All workers, including temporary and agency staff, are covered by our policies and are entitled to safe working conditions, freedom of movement and lawful pay.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Corporate Principles

Millhill House Clearance operates a zero-tolerance policy that prohibits any form of slavery. We require all employees and contractors to comply with our code of conduct and employment policies, which specifically forbid forced labour, child labour and unlawful retention of identity documents. Anyone found to be in breach of this policy faces disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or contract.

We emphasise transparency and responsibility in procurement and operational practices. Our tender and onboarding processes include checks to confirm labour standards and employment practices of prospective suppliers, and we train staff to recognise indicators of exploitation. This commitment to ethical sourcing reduces the risk of modern slavery within the Millhill House Clearance supply chain.

We recognise that policies must be supported by action. As part of our anti-slavery programme, we conduct risk assessments for service categories and geographic exposure, and we adopt proportionate measures where risks are identified. These steps ensure the statement on modern slavery is more than words — it is an operational standard.

Supplier Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Our supplier management process includes targeted supplier audits, contractual obligations and periodic reviews. We require suppliers to demonstrate compliance with labour standards and to provide documentation that verifies employment conditions, pay, and worker rights. Where material risk is identified, we escalate with more intensive engagement and, when necessary, remedial action.

Key elements of our supplier audit and compliance programme include:

• Routine supplier audits and spot checks to verify working conditions and records.
• Contract clauses requiring adherence to anti-slavery commitments and immediate remediation if issues are found.
• Training and support for suppliers to help them meet Millhill House Clearance standards.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing protections form a central part of our response framework. We provide internal reporting routes for employees and contractors, and we maintain a confidential mechanism so concerns about modern slavery or exploitation can be raised without fear of retaliation. All reports are investigated promptly and, when necessary, we work with relevant authorities to ensure appropriate action.

We publish a clear process for handling allegations and we guarantee that all reports are treated seriously and impartially. Our leadership team receives summaries of incidents and remediation outcomes, ensuring accountability at the highest level of the business and reinforcing the seriousness of our anti-slavery commitments.

Annual review: this Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually and updated to reflect new risks, regulatory changes and continuous improvements. We monitor performance through key indicators, audit results and remediation completion rates. The annual review includes input from operations, procurement, HR and compliance to ensure it remains effective and actionable.

Millhill House Clearance remains committed to continuous improvement in combating modern slavery. We will continue strengthening supplier engagement, enhancing training for staff and contractors, and refining our audit and reporting processes. Our publicly stated anti-slavery stance guides everyday decisions and contractual relationships to help eradicate exploitation in the house clearance and waste management sector.

By integrating these principles into our culture and operations, Millhill House Clearance aims to protect vulnerable workers and maintain ethical business standards. This Modern Slavery Statement is part of our ongoing effort to ensure our services and supply chains are free from forced labour and trafficking, reflecting our duty to operate responsibly.

We will report on progress annually and amend our approach where necessary, keeping transparency and accountability at the forefront of our anti-slavery work. All stakeholders are expected to uphold these standards as Millhill House Clearance advances its mission to be a responsible, ethical and compliant provider in the industry.
