Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Tufnell Park

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions taken by Cleaners Tufnell Park to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our business operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and to ensure that the services we provide are delivered in a way that respects the rights and dignity of every individual.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Cleaners Tufnell Park operates a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to acting with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing systems and controls that ensure modern slavery is not taking place in any part of our organisation or in our supply chains.

We expect the same high standards from all our contractors, suppliers, and business partners. Any involvement in modern slavery, whether direct or indirect, is regarded as gross misconduct and may result in the termination of contracts or business relationships.

Our Supply Chains and Risk Assessment

Our supply chains primarily involve the sourcing of cleaning products, equipment, and support services necessary to deliver professional cleaning services. We recognise that certain sectors and locations present a higher risk of labour exploitation and we therefore assess our suppliers with particular attention to recruitment practices, use of agency labour, and subcontracting arrangements.

As part of our risk assessment, we review the nature of the goods and services supplied, the geographic location of suppliers, and any known sector-specific risks. Where higher risk is identified, we undertake enhanced due diligence to ensure full transparency and ethical practice.

Supplier Standards and Audits

All suppliers and subcontractors are required to comply with our standards on labour and human rights. We communicate our zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery at the outset of our business relationship and reinforce these expectations through ongoing engagement.

We reserve the right to conduct audits of suppliers, either announced or unannounced, to assess compliance with our policies and with applicable laws on modern slavery and human trafficking. These audits may include reviewing documentation, speaking with workers, and evaluating recruitment and employment practices.

Where non-compliance is identified, we will work with the supplier to implement corrective actions within a defined timescale. Failure to address concerns to our satisfaction may result in suspension or termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Cleaners Tufnell Park encourages all employees, contractors, and suppliers to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Concerns may be raised in person to a manager or senior member of staff, or through any internal reporting route made available within the company.

We are committed to ensuring that anyone who raises a concern in good faith does so without fear of retaliation or detrimental treatment. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled sensitively and confidentially, as far as is reasonably possible.

If we discover that modern slavery or human trafficking is taking place within our operations or supply chains, we will take immediate action to protect affected individuals, notify relevant authorities where appropriate, and review our procedures to prevent recurrence.

Training and Awareness

We provide training and guidance to relevant staff to help them identify the signs of modern slavery and understand how to respond to concerns. Managers involved in procurement, recruitment, and supplier management receive additional information on risk indicators and due diligence processes.

By raising awareness and fostering an open culture, we aim to ensure that everyone connected with Cleaners Tufnell Park understands their role in preventing modern slavery.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with the senior management team of Cleaners Tufnell Park. They ensure that this statement is implemented effectively and that our policies and procedures remain appropriate and robust.

We monitor our performance through periodic reviews of supplier relationships, incident reports, training completion, and the outcomes of any audits or investigations. Lessons learned are used to strengthen our controls and improve our practices.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to reflect any changes in our operations, supply chains, or applicable legislation. Updates will take into account emerging risks, best practice guidance, and feedback from stakeholders. Cleaners Tufnell Park remains fully committed to continuous improvement in the prevention of modern slavery and to maintaining ethical, transparent, and responsible business practices.
