Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners W11
Cleaners W11 is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights.
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that even service-based businesses must remain alert to risk, and we apply a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that violates human dignity.
Our commitment applies to every area of our work, including recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and supplier management. We expect all staff, partners, and suppliers to uphold the same principles. Cleaners W11 will not knowingly work with any individual or organisation involved in slavery, servitude, debt bondage, child labour, or deceptive recruitment practices. This modern slavery policy is embedded in our wider standards of governance and ethical conduct.
Supplier due diligence is central to our approach.
Before engaging new suppliers, we assess their ownership, labour practices, and compliance history. Existing suppliers are reviewed periodically to confirm they continue to meet our expectations. Where appropriate, we request evidence of employment checks, working conditions, and subcontractor oversight. If concerns arise, we act promptly and reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship.
We also carry out supplier audits proportionate to the level of risk. These audits may include document reviews, workforce checks, and confirmation that workers are treated fairly and paid lawfully. For higher-risk categories, we may require enhanced monitoring and corrective action plans. Our aim is not only to identify risk but also to prevent harm before it occurs. By maintaining careful oversight, we reinforce the standards expected of every Cleaners W11 supplier.
Training and awareness are important parts of our response. Staff involved in hiring, purchasing, or supplier selection are informed about the warning signs of exploitation, including restricted movement, withheld wages, unusual recruitment fees, and inconsistent identity records. Managers are expected to respond immediately to any suspicious activity and to escalate concerns through our internal reporting process. This helps ensure that potential issues are recognised early and handled responsibly.
We provide clear reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and in confidence.
Employees, contractors, and suppliers may report suspected slavery, trafficking, or unethical conduct without fear of retaliation. All reports are treated seriously, investigated discreetly, and acted on in line with our internal procedures. We encourage openness because speaking up is often the first step in stopping abuse and protecting vulnerable people.
Cleaners W11 maintains a risk-based approach to compliance.
This means we focus attention on areas where modern slavery risk may be higher, such as labour supply, outsourced services, and informal subcontracting. We seek assurances that workers are engaged voluntarily, understand their terms, and receive their lawful entitlements. Where necessary, we may request corrective measures, additional evidence, or termination of business relationships where standards are not met.
Our statement is supported by internal accountability. Senior management reviews modern slavery risks and receives updates on due diligence, audits, and any reported concerns. Responsibility for implementation is shared across relevant teams so that prevention is not treated as a one-off exercise. We expect every level of the organisation to support ethical sourcing and fair treatment, ensuring that the values of Cleaner W11 are reflected in daily practice.
We believe that continuous improvement is essential. Therefore, our policies, checks, and controls are designed to evolve as risks change. Modern slavery prevention is not limited to compliance alone; it is part of our broader commitment to responsible service delivery. By monitoring suppliers, improving staff awareness, and maintaining strong reporting pathways, we strengthen our ability to identify and address risk effectively.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal expectations and business operations. During the review, we assess whether our controls remain suitable, whether new risks have emerged, and whether additional measures are required. Any updates are approved by management and communicated where relevant, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to ethical practice.
Cleaners W11 stands firmly against modern slavery in all forms. Our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process work together to support responsible business conduct and safeguard human rights across our operations and supply chains.
