Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Battersea

Cleaners Battersea is committed to conducting every part of its business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and supply chain. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers associated with our cleaners Battersea services.

We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including debt bondage, servitude, child labour, and coercion. As a responsible cleaning company in Battersea, we are committed to identifying risks early and ensuring that our working practices support safe, lawful, and ethical employment. We expect the same commitment from those who provide goods and services to us.

Our statement is guided by the belief that respect for people must be embedded in every business decision. For this reason, our procurement, recruitment, and operational practices are designed to reduce vulnerability and strengthen accountability throughout the supply chain.

We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in all forms. Any breach of this policy by an employee, contractor, or supplier may result in immediate action, including suspension or termination of the business relationship. At Cleaners Battersea, we will not knowingly work with any organisation that fails to uphold ethical labour standards.

To support this position, we carry out appropriate due diligence before engaging new suppliers. This includes reviewing company information, labour practices, and the origin of key products and services. Where risk is identified, we may request additional evidence, require corrective action, or decline to proceed with the relationship.

Our ongoing supplier management process includes supplier audits for selected higher-risk partners. These audits may involve document checks, contract reviews, and assessments of worker treatment, wage practices, and working hours. The purpose of these audits is not only to detect potential issues but also to encourage continuous improvement across our cleaning supply chain.

All staff are encouraged to remain alert to the warning signs of exploitation, such as unusual restrictions, unsafe accommodation, withheld pay, or lack of personal freedom. Training and internal communications help ensure that employees understand how to recognise concerns and respond appropriately. We believe awareness is essential to protecting vulnerable individuals in the Battersea cleaning services sector.

We provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Reports may be made through line managers, senior leadership, or designated internal safeguarding procedures. Any allegation will be taken seriously, recorded, and investigated promptly, with appropriate steps taken to protect affected individuals and prevent further harm.

We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith. This commitment helps create a culture of openness and responsibility, which is vital to the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures and to the wider ethical standards expected of Cleaners Battersea.

We also expect our suppliers to maintain accurate records and to cooperate fully with any review, investigation, or audit we may conduct. Contract terms may include specific obligations relating to lawful employment, ethical recruitment, and compliance with anti-slavery principles. Where necessary, we will work with suppliers to implement improvements within a defined timeframe.

Our leadership team reviews modern slavery risks as part of broader governance activity. This includes monitoring changes in legislation, sector trends, and supply chain exposure. The review process helps ensure that our controls remain proportionate, relevant, and effective in the context of a growing Cleaners Battersea operation.

This statement will be reviewed annually to confirm its continued suitability and to identify opportunities for strengthening our response. Annual review allows us to measure progress, update procedures, and reflect lessons learned from audits, incidents, and supplier assessments. Through this process, cleaners in Battersea can continue to operate with integrity and accountability.

We are committed to continuous improvement and to taking practical steps that help eliminate modern slavery from our business and supply chain. By applying a zero-tolerance policy, conducting supplier audits, maintaining reporting channels, and completing an annual review, Cleaners Battersea demonstrates its determination to protect people and uphold ethical standards in every aspect of its work.

Modern slavery has no place in our organisation or in the services we provide. We will continue to strengthen our controls, act on concerns without delay, and promote responsible practices across the entire cleaning Battersea supply network.
