Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Brentford

At Cleaners Brentford, we are committed to conducting our business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that ethical responsibility is essential to delivering trusted Brentford cleaners services and maintaining the confidence of clients, suppliers, and staff alike.

Our approach is guided by a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same standards.

Our Commitment

Every person working with or for Cleaners in Brentford must be treated with dignity, and we will not knowingly engage with any individual or organisation that fails to meet this expectation. This commitment applies across recruitment, procurement, and service delivery.

To support this principle, we carry out thorough checks during onboarding and maintain procedures designed to identify and reduce risk. Our policies cover fair employment, wage compliance, age verification where appropriate, and lawful working conditions. We also provide internal guidance so that managers can recognise warning signs, such as unusual restrictions on workers, document retention, or signs of coercion. These controls help ensure that our cleaning services Brentford remain ethical at every level.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We expect suppliers to demonstrate lawful and responsible labour practices. As part of our due diligence, we assess new suppliers before engagement and review existing suppliers on a risk-based schedule. Supplier audits may include document checks, labour practice assessments, and confirmation that workers are employed voluntarily and paid correctly. Where risks are identified, we request corrective action and monitor progress closely.

Our procurement team is trained to spot higher-risk indicators, especially where services involve subcontracting or labour-intensive work. We aim to work with suppliers who share our ethical standards and can provide evidence of compliance. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship. This approach helps protect the integrity of Cleaners Brentford and reinforces our wider responsibility to ethical trade.

In addition to formal audits, we encourage open dialogue with suppliers about labour standards and human rights. Clear contractual clauses support our anti-slavery requirements, and we expect suppliers to flow these obligations down their own chains. By strengthening oversight across our supply network, we reduce the chance of exploitation and support fair treatment throughout the supply chain.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

We want all concerns to be raised promptly and without fear. Our reporting channels allow staff and business partners to report suspected modern slavery, unsafe practices, or breaches of policy through internal management routes and designated safeguarding processes. Reports are taken seriously, reviewed confidentially, and escalated where necessary for investigation and action.

We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Managers are instructed to preserve confidentiality as far as possible and to respond quickly to any allegation involving exploitation, coercion, or unethical recruitment. Cleaners Brentford understands that early reporting is vital to preventing harm and ensuring that issues are addressed before they escalate. Where appropriate, we cooperate with relevant authorities and specialist support services.

Our people are expected to remain vigilant and to challenge behaviour that appears inconsistent with our standards. Training and policy awareness help embed this culture across the business. By promoting clear reporting pathways, we strengthen trust and make it easier to identify potential risks within our operations and among our partners.

Monitoring, Accountability, and Review

Responsibility for implementing this statement rests with senior management, who oversee policy enforcement, risk management, and supplier oversight. We monitor compliance through periodic reviews, internal checks, and action tracking. Any material concerns are documented and resolved through a structured improvement process. Our objective is not only compliance, but continuous improvement in ethical practice across Brentford cleaning services.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal obligations and business operations. During the review, we consider any incidents, audit findings, supply chain changes, training outcomes, and emerging risks. Updates are approved by leadership and communicated internally so that expectations remain clear.

Through our zero-tolerance stance, supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and annual review process, Cleaners Brentford continues to uphold a responsible and transparent approach to modern slavery prevention. We are committed to maintaining a workplace and supply chain where exploitation has no place, and where ethical conduct is embedded in everything we do.
