Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners NW6

At Cleaners NW6, we are committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and in full respect of human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and controls that guide our operations and reflect our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, and any form of exploitation. We recognise that Cleaners NW6 services depend on people, trust, and safe working conditions, and we therefore expect the highest standards from everyone connected with our business.

Our Commitment and Principles

Modern slavery can appear in many forms, including debt bondage, coercion, withholding of wages, passport retention, and restricted movement. For a cleaners NW6 provider, the risk may arise not only within direct operations but also in the wider supply chain. We take this seriously and apply due diligence measures proportionate to the risks identified. All workers must be treated fairly, paid lawfully, and supported in a workplace where dignity is protected.

Cleaners in NW6 are expected to follow clear employment practices that prohibit intimidation, discrimination, and exploitation. Our management team is responsible for embedding ethical conduct into recruitment, onboarding, payroll, and supervision. We also require that workers understand their rights and are free to leave employment in line with lawful notice requirements, without penalty or threat.

Our approach includes supplier audits and ongoing checks to help identify and reduce risk. We assess suppliers and contractors based on geography, service type, labour practices, and evidence of compliance with relevant laws. Where appropriate, we review policies, pay records, right-to-work processes, subcontracting arrangements, and worker welfare controls. If a supplier is found to fall short of our standards, we will require corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship where necessary.

Risk Assessment and Supply Chain Oversight

As part of our modern slavery statement, we expect suppliers to maintain transparent hiring practices and to avoid any use of exploitative labour. Cleaners NW6 will not knowingly work with partners who conceal worker identity, restrict freedom, or fail to provide lawful terms of employment. We also seek assurances that agencies and subcontractors do not charge recruitment fees to workers, directly or indirectly, as this can increase vulnerability to abuse.

Our procurement process is designed to encourage responsible sourcing. Cleaners NW6 services are supported by suppliers who are screened against ethical criteria, and higher-risk relationships receive greater scrutiny. When concerns arise, we investigate promptly and record the outcomes, including any changes to controls, training, or commercial decisions. This helps us maintain consistent oversight across our operations.

We encourage everyone working with or for us to report concerns without delay. Reporting channels include line managers, senior management, and internal reporting routes that allow issues to be raised confidentially. Any report of suspected modern slavery, unsafe treatment, unpaid wages, document retention, or coercion will be handled seriously, sensitively, and without retaliation. We aim to protect those who speak up and to act swiftly where risks are identified.

Reporting, Investigation, and Protection

Cleaners NW6 recognises that barriers such as fear, language, or dependency can prevent workers from raising concerns. For that reason, we support a culture in which speaking up is safe and respected. Allegations are reviewed by responsible managers, evidence is gathered, and where appropriate we work with suppliers to correct failings or remove harmful practices. Modern slavery prevention is not a one-time exercise; it requires vigilance, accountability, and action.

Training and awareness are part of our safeguards. Staff involved in recruitment, procurement, supervision, and contract management receive guidance on identifying warning signs and responding appropriately. This includes recognising unusual control over workers, unexplained deductions, signs of isolation, or signs that a person may not be acting freely. Our aim is to ensure that ethical standards are understood throughout the business.

This statement is reviewed annually to confirm that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current law and business activity. The review considers any incidents, audit findings, supplier performance, and changes to our operations or risk profile. Where improvements are needed, we update our controls, strengthen training, and refine supplier expectations. Cleaners NW6 is committed to continuous improvement and to strengthening protections year after year.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

By maintaining a strict zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, providing reliable reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to uphold the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our work.
