Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners W1
Cleaners W1 is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that every person has the right to work freely, safely, and with dignity, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation.
As a trusted cleaning services provider, Cleaners W1 understands that risk can exist in many areas of business, including recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and outsourced services. Our approach is based on prevention, detection, and response. We expect our team, suppliers, and business partners to uphold the same standards and to act in line with ethical labour practices.
This statement applies across the Cleaner W1 operation, including management, staff training, supplier selection, and ongoing monitoring. We review the risks associated with our activities and take reasonable steps to reduce them. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take decisive action, which may include ending a business relationship if standards are not met.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
We do not permit any practice that contributes to modern slavery, human trafficking, child labour, debt bondage, or involuntary work. Our policy is communicated to employees and suppliers so that everyone understands their responsibilities. Any breach, suspected breach, or attempt to conceal exploitative conduct is treated as a serious matter. For Cleaners W1, ethical conduct is not optional; it is a core requirement of doing business.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
We apply proportionate due diligence when appointing suppliers and contractors. This includes assessing labour practices, reviewing key policies, and considering the nature of the service provided. Where appropriate, supplier audits are carried out to check compliance with our expectations and to identify areas for improvement. Audits may cover wage practices, working hours, identity and right-to-work controls, and subcontracting arrangements.
If a supplier is unable to demonstrate acceptable standards, we may request corrective action plans and follow up within a defined period. Persistent non-compliance can result in suspension or termination. This process helps us strengthen the resilience of the Cleaner W1 supply chain while protecting workers from harm. We also encourage responsible sourcing and prefer partners who can show a clear commitment to fair employment.
Reporting Channels and Safeguarding Concerns
We believe that workers and stakeholders should be able to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. For that reason, we maintain accessible reporting channels for suspected modern slavery, unethical recruitment, or unsafe labour conditions. Reports are handled confidentially wherever possible and are escalated for prompt review. Cleaners W1 will investigate credible concerns thoroughly and fairly, and we will take appropriate remedial action.
Our reporting approach supports openness and accountability. We encourage concerns to be raised early so that risks can be addressed before they escalate. In cases where individuals may be at immediate risk, we prioritise safeguarding measures and, where necessary, involve the relevant authorities. This reflects our commitment to protecting vulnerable people across our operations and supply chain.
Our commitment to improvement is ongoing. The Cleaners W1 modern slavery statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal and ethical expectations. The review considers any incidents, audit findings, supplier performance, and changes in risk exposure. Where needed, we strengthen procedures, update controls, and improve training to support better outcomes.
By maintaining clear standards, carrying out supplier audits, providing reporting channels, and reviewing our approach every year, Cleaners W1 demonstrates a practical and consistent commitment to preventing modern slavery. We will continue to refine our safeguards and promote lawful, fair, and humane working conditions throughout our business relationships.
