Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners SW1

Cleaners SW1 is committed to operating with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights across every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and any form of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers, and it is embedded in our internal procedures, procurement standards, and compliance checks.

Our Commitment to Ethical Practice

We recognise that the risk of exploitation can exist in many sectors, including cleaning services, facilities support, logistics, and product supply chains. For that reason, Cleaners SW1 uses a risk-based approach to identify, assess, and manage concerns. This includes reviewing labour practices, checking employment terms, and ensuring that all workers are treated fairly. We expect every supplier and business partner to share our commitment to lawful and ethical conduct.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier audits are a core part of our safeguards. We conduct periodic assessments of high-risk suppliers and service partners to verify that they uphold acceptable labour standards, maintain lawful recruitment practices, and avoid exploitative working conditions. Where appropriate, we request evidence of identity checks, right-to-work verification, wage records, and subcontracting controls. If concerns are identified, we may require corrective action, increase monitoring, or end the relationship where risks cannot be resolved.

Our procurement process also includes due diligence before entering into new arrangements. We consider the country of origin, the type of service provided, and the level of labour intensity involved. By applying these controls, Cleaners SW1 aims to reduce the chance that modern slavery could enter our operations indirectly through third-party relationships. We also encourage suppliers to carry out similar checks within their own supply chains.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

We believe that raising concerns early is essential to preventing harm. Employees, workers, and suppliers are expected to report any suspicion of exploitation, unsafe recruitment practices, withholding of documents, coercion, or other indicators of abuse. Reports can be made through internal management channels, and all concerns are handled seriously, confidentially, and without retaliation. Anonymous reporting may be allowed where appropriate, and any allegation is reviewed promptly by the relevant compliance lead.

Training and awareness also support our prevention efforts. Staff involved in recruitment, onboarding, procurement, and supplier management receive guidance on spotting warning signs and responding appropriately. This helps ensure that the principles behind the Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners SW1 are applied consistently in day-to-day decisions. We expect managers to act immediately if they identify potential risks, including pausing work with a supplier while an investigation is carried out.

Regular monitoring is essential to maintain effective controls. Cleaners SW1 reviews its practices throughout the year, including supplier checks, grievance trends, and any reported incidents. Where a breach of policy is confirmed, we take proportionate action, which may include remediation plans, contract suspension, or termination of the relationship. We also work to support affected individuals where possible and to strengthen preventative measures after any incident.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with current legal requirements and operational risks. The annual review considers the effectiveness of our zero-tolerance policy, the outcomes of supplier audits, the use of reporting channels, and any emerging risks within our supply chain. Through this process, Cleaners SW1 reinforces its responsibility to uphold ethical standards and protect vulnerable people from exploitation.

Cleaners SW1 is dedicated to continuous improvement and to maintaining a workplace and supply chain where dignity, fairness, and lawful practice are non-negotiable.
