Cleaners Deep Cleaning Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement outlines the steps Cleaners Deep Cleaning takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. We are committed to conducting our activities ethically, transparently, and in full respect of human rights. This statement covers the financial year just ended and will be reviewed and updated annually.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Cleaners Deep Cleaning maintains a strict zero-tolerance stance towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking, child labour, and any exploitation that denies individuals their freedom or dignity. We will not knowingly work with any person, organisation, or supplier involved in, or benefiting from, such practices.

All staff, contractors, and suppliers are expected to act with integrity and in accordance with this commitment. Any breach of our zero-tolerance policy may result in termination of contracts, cessation of business relationships, and, where appropriate, reporting to regulatory or law enforcement authorities.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Cleaners Deep Cleaning provides professional deep cleaning services to residential, commercial, and specialist premises. Our operations rely on a network of suppliers that may include providers of cleaning products, equipment, uniforms, facilities management services, and labour agencies for temporary staffing.

The nature of cleaning and associated services can involve higher risks of labour exploitation. We therefore treat the prevention of modern slavery as a core risk management priority and integrate it into our procurement, contracting, and operational processes.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We apply a risk-based approach to assessing our suppliers and partners. Before entering into or renewing relationships, we conduct due diligence to evaluate the risk of modern slavery within their operations and supply chains. This may include reviewing their labour practices, policies, and any modern slavery statements or codes of conduct they maintain.

Where risk is identified, we may perform additional checks such as requesting documentary evidence of employment conditions and compliance with labour laws. We reserve the right to carry out periodic audits, which may be conducted on site or through detailed questionnaires and document reviews. Non-compliance with our expectations or refusal to cooperate with an audit may result in corrective action, suspension, or termination of the business relationship.

Policies, Training, and Awareness

Our internal policies emphasise fair treatment, safe working conditions, and compliance with all applicable labour and employment legislation. We are committed to raising awareness among our employees and managers so that they can identify signs of exploitation and understand how to respond appropriately.

Training on modern slavery is incorporated into onboarding for relevant roles and refreshed periodically. We promote a culture where concerns about unethical or illegal practices can be raised without fear of retaliation.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Cleaners Deep Cleaning encourages employees, contractors, suppliers, and any other stakeholders to report suspected modern slavery, human trafficking, or exploitation connected to our business or supply chain. Concerns can be raised directly to line managers, senior management, or through established internal reporting channels in line with our whistleblowing and grievance policies.

Reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly. We will protect those who raise concerns in good faith from victimisation or detrimental treatment and will take appropriate action where any violation is identified.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that addressing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. Cleaners Deep Cleaning is committed to continuous improvement in our approach, including reviewing and enhancing our policies, due diligence processes, training materials, and supplier engagement.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by senior management to assess the effectiveness of our measures and to identify areas for further action. Any significant changes to our operations, risk profile, or legal requirements will be reflected in updated procedures and communicated across the organisation and to our suppliers where relevant.

By issuing this statement, Cleaners Deep Cleaning reaffirms its commitment to act ethically, prevent modern slavery in all its forms, and uphold the rights and wellbeing of every individual connected to our business and supply chains.
