Modern Slavery Statement for London Cleaners
London Cleaners affirms a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across all operations and the supply chain. This statement applies to every worker engaged by our London cleaner teams, temporary staff and contractors. We are committed to preventing exploitation and protecting human rights in our provision of cleaning services in London, and to continuous improvement of policies and practices that eliminate slavery risks.This statement sets out the steps taken by our London cleaning company to assess and address modern slavery risks. It applies to direct employees and to our relationships with suppliers, sub-contractors and recruitment partners. We require that all partners share our commitment to ethical labour standards and comply with applicable laws. Our approach is risk-based and proportionate, focusing on areas where the risk of exploitation is greatest.
We operate a structured due diligence program that includes supply chain mapping, supplier questionnaires and on-site assessments by trained compliance staff. Key actions include:
- Supplier audits covering recruitment practices, wage verification and working hours;
- Contract clauses requiring adherence to anti-slavery standards;
- Enhanced checks for higher-risk suppliers used by our cleaning company London operations.
Zero-Tolerance Policy and Procurement Standards
Our zero-tolerance stance is embedded into procurement and contractor management. We include anti-slavery provisions in all supplier agreements and reserve the right to terminate contracts where violations are identified. Suppliers to our cleaning company London operations must demonstrate transparent recruitment, permit checks and lawful pay practices.
We maintain a regular audit schedule for suppliers and sub-contractors serving our domestic and commercial clients across London. Audit activities include document reviews, worker interviews and cross-checking of payroll records. Where issues are found, we require corrective action plans and follow-up audits until compliance is achieved. Our supplier monitoring is supplemented by random inspections and third-party verification where appropriate.
Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing
We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for workers, contractors and the public to raise concerns about exploitation. Reports are taken seriously, triaged and investigated promptly. All reports are handled sensitively and, where necessary, referrals are made to specialist support services. Our procedures protect whistleblowers from retaliation and ensure that suspected victims receive immediate protection and support.We invest in staff training to ensure managers and operational teams can identify signs of modern slavery. Training covers ethical recruitment practices, recognising indicators of forced labour and following internal escalation protocols. Our recruitment partners and labour providers are required to operate to the same standards as our in-house teams, and we carry out background checks on agencies supplying temporary cleaners to London locations.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: we review this Modern Slavery Statement and related policies annually to measure effectiveness and adapt to evolving risks. The review includes analysis of audit findings, remediation outcomes, and feedback from supplier engagement. Each year we set clear objectives, KPIs and improvement initiatives designed to reduce risk and improve transparency in our supply chain across the cleaning services industry in London.
Commitment and Sign-Off
In conclusion, our London Cleaners group reiterates a firm commitment to ethical labour standards and a practical program of supplier audits, clear reporting channels and an annual review cycle. We will continue to strengthen controls, collaborate with partners and act decisively where exploitation is identified. This statement is approved at the highest level of our organisation and will be published and reviewed annually to ensure it continues to meet best practice.
