Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Cleaner Streatham is committed to conducting all aspects of its business in an ethical and responsible manner. This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. It applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers engaged by Cleaner Streatham.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

Cleaner Streatham has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation, business partner, or individual involved in practices that exploit people or infringe upon their basic human rights. Our leadership is committed to embedding ethical conduct into our culture, reinforcing that any form of coercion, exploitation, or abuse is unacceptable and will result in immediate action, which may include contract termination or reporting to relevant authorities.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Cleaner Streatham provides professional cleaning services and related support to residential and commercial clients. Our supply chains include providers of cleaning products, equipment, workwear, and staffing and facility services. We recognise that certain areas of the cleaning and facilities sector may be at higher risk of labour exploitation, and we therefore take a proactive and risk-based approach to managing and monitoring our suppliers and partners.

Supplier Standards and Due Diligence

We expect all suppliers and subcontractors to uphold standards that are consistent with our zero-tolerance policy. As part of our due diligence process, we seek confirmation that suppliers comply with all applicable labour, welfare, and human rights legislation. We require suppliers to ensure that all workers are employed voluntarily, are of legal working age, and work under fair and safe conditions with appropriate pay and working hours.

Where appropriate, we request written confirmation or policy statements from suppliers outlining their own approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking. Suppliers who are unable or unwilling to demonstrate adequate safeguards may be removed from our approved supplier list.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Cleaner Streatham conducts periodic audits and reviews of higher-risk suppliers. These audits may include reviewing employment records, verifying right-to-work documentation, and assessing health and safety practices. We also expect suppliers to cooperate fully with any information requests relating to their employment and recruitment practices.

If we identify any non-compliance or potential indicators of modern slavery, we will investigate promptly and work with the supplier to remediate the issue where appropriate. In cases of serious or persistent non-compliance, Cleaner Streatham reserves the right to cease working with the supplier.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing

We encourage all employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise concerns about possible modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chains. Concerns can be reported through line managers or senior management without fear of retaliation or detrimental treatment. Reports will be taken seriously, treated in confidence as far as possible, and investigated promptly.

We are committed to protecting anyone who makes a genuine disclosure, even if it is later found to be mistaken. Any confirmed instances of modern slavery will result in immediate corrective action and, where necessary, reporting to the appropriate authorities.

Training and Awareness

Cleaner Streatham provides information and guidance to relevant employees and managers to help them recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand how to report concerns. We aim to build awareness of labour exploitation risks in the cleaning sector and to strengthen our collective ability to identify and prevent such abuses.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is reviewed annually by Cleaner Streatham senior management. As part of the review, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, supplier oversight, and reporting mechanisms, and we identify opportunities to improve our approach.

We will continue to refine our processes, engage with suppliers, and enhance training to ensure that our business remains vigilant in the prevention of modern slavery and human trafficking. This Statement represents our ongoing commitment to operating with integrity, respect, and responsibility in all that we do.
