Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners SW6
This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Cleaners SW6 in accordance with our commitment to uphold human rights and responsible business practices across all operations. It sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.
Our Zero-Tolerance Approach
Cleaners SW6 has a clear and uncompromising zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, servitude and child labour. We will not knowingly work with any individual, organisation or supplier that is involved in, or fails to take adequate steps to prevent, modern slavery in any form.
We expect the same high standards from all parties we work with, including employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers at every tier of our supply chain. Any confirmed breach of our zero-tolerance policy may result in the termination of contracts or business relationships and, where appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities.
Our Business and Supply Chain
Cleaners SW6 provides professional cleaning services to residential and commercial customers. Our supply chain includes providers of cleaning products, equipment, uniforms, facilities management support, and certain outsourced services.
We recognise that risks related to modern slavery can be present in the production and sourcing of goods and in labour-intensive services. As such, we are committed to taking proactive and proportionate steps to identify, assess and mitigate these risks across our supply chain.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We require our key suppliers and service providers to operate in line with our ethical expectations and to comply with all applicable labour, employment and human rights laws. Our standard terms and conditions incorporate obligations related to fair working practices and the prohibition of forced, bonded or involuntary labour.
Cleaners SW6 conducts risk-based due diligence on suppliers, with enhanced focus on those operating in higher-risk sectors or geographies. This may include pre-engagement questionnaires, review of policies and statements, and verification of compliance with relevant legislation and codes of practice.
Where appropriate, we carry out supplier audits, either desk-based or on-site, to verify adherence to our standards. Audits may examine recruitment practices, working conditions, pay arrangements, and grievance mechanisms. If issues are identified, we expect suppliers to implement timely corrective actions and we monitor progress until the issues are fully resolved.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
Cleaners SW6 encourages a culture of openness and accountability. We are committed to ensuring that any concerns about modern slavery or unethical conduct can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation.
Employees, workers, suppliers and other stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspicions or information regarding modern slavery, human trafficking, or exploitation within our operations or supply chains. Concerns can be raised through established internal reporting channels or directly to senior management.
All reports will be taken seriously, treated sensitively, and investigated promptly and impartially. Where evidence of modern slavery or related abuses is found, we will take appropriate remedial action, which may include working with the affected individuals, engaging with authorities, and reviewing our business relationship with the parties involved.
Training and Awareness
We recognise that raising awareness is essential to effectively combat modern slavery. Cleaners SW6 provides relevant training and guidance to managers and staff, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment and supplier management, so they can identify warning signs and respond appropriately to potential risks.
We seek to foster an environment in which employees understand the importance of respecting human rights and feel empowered to speak up if something appears wrong or inconsistent with our values.
Monitoring, Governance and Annual Review
Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with the senior management of Cleaners SW6. They are accountable for ensuring that appropriate policies, processes and controls are in place and that they are implemented effectively.
We monitor the effectiveness of our measures through regular reviews of supplier performance, incident reports, and feedback from staff and stakeholders. Lessons learned from any issues or investigations are used to strengthen our procedures and training.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective and aligned with best practice and legal requirements. As part of the annual review, we assess emerging risks, evaluate the impact of our actions, and identify further improvements to enhance our prevention and detection of modern slavery.
Cleaners SW6 remains fully committed to continuous improvement in this area and to working collaboratively with our partners to help eradicate modern slavery in all its forms.
