Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Twickenham

Cleaners Twickenham is committed to conducting 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 within our operations and supply chain. We believe that every worker should be treated with dignity and protected from exploitation.

Our approach applies to all areas of the business, including recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and service delivery. Modern slavery is a serious abuse of human rights, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation. This includes forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, and any practice that restricts a person’s freedom or safety.

We require all managers and decision-makers in Twickenham cleaners operations to act responsibly and to identify risks early. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take appropriate corrective action. If a supplier, contractor, or partner fails to meet our standards, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship.

Our recruitment practices are designed to protect workers from coercion and unfair treatment. We verify the right to work, ensure employment terms are clear, and avoid any arrangement that could create dependency or vulnerability. In addition, we do not allow retention of identity documents, unlawful deductions, or any misleading promises about pay, hours, or conditions.

We also expect our supply chain partners to share these principles. The cleaners in Twickenham network we work with must comply with applicable labour laws and ethical employment standards. To support this, we carry out due diligence on new suppliers and review ongoing relationships to make sure our expectations are understood and followed.

Supplier oversight includes supplier audits, risk checks, and periodic assessments of labour practices. These reviews may examine payroll records, worker permissions, subcontracting activity, and site conditions. Where risk is identified, we ask for evidence of improvement and maintain close monitoring until concerns are resolved.

Reporting suspected exploitation is essential to our prevention strategy. Workers, managers, and suppliers are encouraged to raise concerns through our internal reporting channels, which include confidential escalation to senior management and protected reporting routes within the organisation. Reports may be made without fear of retaliation, victimisation, or disadvantage.

All concerns are taken seriously and reviewed with discretion. We aim to create a culture in which people feel safe speaking up if they notice warning signs such as restricted movement, excessive working hours, withheld wages, or pressure to conceal employment practices. Our aim is to respond quickly, protect affected individuals, and cooperate with relevant authorities where necessary.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current law and best practice. As part of the annual review, we assess risks, audit findings, training needs, and reporting activity. We then update our policies and controls as needed to strengthen safeguards across the business.
