Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Battersea

Cleaners Battersea is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps taken by our organisation to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation and expect the same standard from every supplier, contractor, and business partner. Our commitment applies across all service areas, from recruitment and training to procurement and delivery, ensuring that ethical practice remains central to how Cleaners Battersea operates.

Modern slavery is a serious crime and a fundamental breach of human rights. At Cleaners Battersea, we recognise that risk can exist in many sectors, particularly where labour is outsourced or where work is carried out by third parties. For this reason, our approach combines prevention, detection, and swift action. We train relevant staff to identify warning signs, such as unusual working hours, withheld documents, coercion, debt bondage, or restricted freedom of movement. By embedding awareness across the business, the Cleaners Battersea modern slavery policy helps create a safer and more transparent working environment.

We also apply strict due diligence to our supply chain. All key suppliers are assessed before engagement, and ongoing supplier audits are carried out to monitor compliance with labour standards, pay practices, working conditions, and record keeping. Where appropriate, we request evidence of workforce eligibility, subcontractor arrangements, and internal controls. If concerns are identified, we investigate promptly and require corrective action. In serious cases, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship. This proactive approach strengthens the integrity of the Cleaners Battersea slavery prevention programme and supports ethical sourcing at every stage.

Our reporting framework is designed to ensure that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. We encourage workers, managers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any suspected abuse, unethical conduct, or labour exploitation through internal reporting channels. All reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially, and reviewed by designated senior personnel. Where necessary, cases are escalated for further investigation and corrective action. This commitment to accountability is a core part of the Cleaners Battersea modern slavery statement and reinforces our determination to act quickly when issues arise.

In addition to internal controls, we monitor employment practices and procurement decisions to reduce the likelihood of hidden risk. Our recruitment processes are designed to ensure that workers are treated fairly, are legally entitled to work, and are never charged fees that could leave them vulnerable to exploitation. We also promote awareness among managers so that a Cleaners Battersea ethical labour standard is maintained across day-to-day operations. Through training, monitoring, and documented procedures, we continue to strengthen the safeguards that protect workers and uphold responsible business conduct.

Governance and oversight are essential to the credibility of this statement. Senior management reviews the implementation of our anti-slavery controls and ensures that responsibilities are assigned clearly. Any non-compliance identified through audits, reports, or management checks is addressed with urgency and recorded for follow-up. The modern slavery statement for Cleaners Battersea is supported by documented procedures that align with our wider commitment to fair treatment, lawful employment, and respect for human dignity.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The annual review considers changes in legislation, supply chain risk, audit outcomes, training coverage, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Where improvements are needed, we update our controls and strengthen our prevention measures. By revisiting our commitments each year, Cleaners Battersea demonstrates continuous improvement in the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking.

Cleaners Battersea will continue to uphold a zero-tolerance policy and maintain vigilance across all areas of operation. We are committed to working only with organisations that share our values and to acting decisively when standards fall short. Through supplier audits, clear reporting channels, staff awareness, and an annual review process, the Cleaners Battersea modern slavery approach remains focused on protecting people, strengthening compliance, and promoting ethical business practice. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to help prevent exploitation in every part of our work.
