Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Hampstead
Cleaners Hampstead is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, or any form of exploitation. This statement sets out the principles that guide our operations and the measures we apply to reduce the risk of modern slavery within our services, workforce, and supply chain. We recognise that protecting human dignity is fundamental to our business and to the trust placed in Cleaners Hampstead by clients, partners, and workers.
Our approach is built on clear governance, due diligence, and continuous monitoring. We require all managers, supervisors, and procurement personnel to act with vigilance and to escalate any concern immediately. Modern slavery prevention is integrated into our internal standards, recruitment practices, and supplier assessments. We expect everyone associated with Hampstead cleaning services to uphold lawful and ethical conduct at all times.
This statement applies to our own operations and to the external organisations that support our work. We assess the risk of abuse in areas such as labour sourcing, subcontracting, and the procurement of materials and equipment. Where risks are identified, we apply proportionate controls, request evidence of compliance, and take corrective action when necessary. Our objective is to maintain a safe and fair environment across the full scope of our cleaning activity.
Supplier accountability is a key part of our modern slavery response. We carry out supplier audits, reviews, and checks to confirm that labour standards are respected and that workers are treated fairly. These audits may include verification of employment terms, working hours, identity checks, and an evaluation of any subcontracting arrangements. If a supplier cannot demonstrate acceptable standards, we will require improvement or reconsider the relationship.
We also expect suppliers to maintain their own policies and controls against exploitation. As part of our supplier audit process, we look for evidence of legal wage practices, age verification, grievance mechanisms, and responsible recruitment. Any sign of coercion, withholding of documents, or inappropriate fees is treated seriously. Cleaners Hampstead reserves the right to suspend or end business with any supplier that fails to meet our expectations.
Reporting channels are essential to identifying issues early. Staff and workers are encouraged to report concerns about modern slavery, unsafe labour practices, or suspicious behaviour through internal reporting routes managed by responsible supervisors and designated compliance leads. All concerns are handled discreetly, and no one who raises an issue in good faith will face retaliation, victimisation, or disadvantage. We aim to create a culture where speaking up is supported and respected.
To reinforce this commitment, we provide relevant staff with awareness training so they can recognise warning signs and respond appropriately. This includes understanding indicators such as restricted movement, intimidation, debt bondage, document retention, and signs of poor living or working conditions. Training is reviewed periodically so that our teams remain alert to emerging risks and can act in line with our ethical standards.
Our recruitment practices are also designed to reduce risk. We verify right-to-work information, avoid exploitative arrangements, and ensure that workers understand the terms of their engagement. We do not permit any form of forced overtime, unlawful deductions, or misleading labour arrangements. Through these controls, Cleaners Hampstead seeks to protect workers and preserve transparency in every aspect of service delivery.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal expectations and operational realities. The annual review considers audit outcomes, reported concerns, training completion, supplier performance, and any identified risk trends. Where improvements are needed, we update procedures and strengthen oversight. Our commitment is ongoing, and we will continue to improve our anti-slavery measures year after year.
