Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Roehampton
Cleaner Roehampton is committed to operating with integrity, dignity, and respect in every aspect of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, servitude, forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many industries and can be hidden within complex supply chains. For that reason, we maintain clear controls, training, and oversight to help ensure our operations reflect our values. Our commitment applies to employees, subcontractors, and suppliers alike, and it is reinforced through our ethical standards and procurement processes.
Our Commitment and Policy
Cleaner Roehampton is dedicated to ensuring that its services are delivered responsibly and that no person is subjected to coercion, deception, or abuse. We expect everyone connected with our business to act with honesty and to respect human rights. Our policy is simple: we do not tolerate modern slavery in any form. Where risks are identified, we respond promptly and decisively. This includes reviewing working arrangements, examining labour practices, and taking appropriate action when concerns arise. We also require all relevant managers to understand the warning signs of exploitation and to uphold our standards in day-to-day operations.
The company takes a preventive approach through due diligence and supplier engagement. Before entering into new commercial relationships, we assess suppliers against ethical, legal, and operational criteria. We also carry out supplier audits where appropriate, focusing on labour conditions, wage practices, worker wellbeing, and record-keeping. These audits may be scheduled or unannounced depending on the risk profile of the supplier. If issues are identified, we seek immediate remediation and monitor progress closely. Persistent non-compliance may result in suspension or termination of the relationship.
Risk Management and Reporting
Cleaner Roehampton understands that vigilance is essential in identifying and preventing exploitation. We therefore maintain internal procedures designed to highlight risk in recruitment, onboarding, and procurement. Particular attention is given to vulnerable workers, subcontracted labour, and higher-risk service categories. Our managers are encouraged to remain alert to signs such as withholding of identity documents, unusual deductions from pay, restricted movement, or reluctance to speak freely. These indicators are treated seriously and investigated in line with our safeguarding principles. Our approach is both practical and preventative, helping us address concerns before they escalate.
We provide clear and accessible reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and suppliers can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made confidentially through internal management routes, and all disclosures are handled sensitively. We are committed to protecting anyone who speaks up in good faith. Where a concern suggests possible exploitation, we act promptly to investigate, preserve evidence, and involve appropriate authorities if necessary. Anonymous concerns are also taken seriously and assessed with care. This process supports transparency and strengthens our ability to respond effectively to risk.
Training and awareness are important parts of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in recruitment, supervision, and procurement receive guidance on recognising warning signs and understanding their responsibilities. We aim to ensure that all relevant personnel can identify situations that may indicate forced labour or trafficking. In addition, we expect our suppliers to communicate our standards throughout their own operations. By sharing expectations clearly and consistently, we help reduce the chance that exploitation is overlooked in the supply chain.
Monitoring, Review, and Improvement
Annual Review
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and business practices. Each review considers any incidents, audit findings, supplier concerns, training needs, and changes in operational risk. Where opportunities for improvement are identified, we update procedures and strengthen controls accordingly. Continuous improvement is central to our approach, and we view the prevention of modern slavery as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time task.
Cleaner Roehampton will continue to work with integrity, monitor its supply chain carefully, and act decisively where concerns are raised. Our commitment to ethical conduct is supported by our zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process. We believe that responsible business practices help protect vulnerable people and promote fair working conditions. This statement reflects our determination to maintain a workplace and supply chain free from exploitation, now and in the future.
