Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Stjohnswood

Cleaners Stjohnswood is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and any form of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that cleaning services can involve multiple labour arrangements, subcontractors, and product suppliers, which may increase risk if not carefully managed.

Our commitment applies to all staff, contractors, temporary workers, and business partners associated with Stjohnswood cleaners. We expect every individual and organisation acting on our behalf to uphold ethical employment standards, pay lawful wages, and respect the freedom of workers. We do not accept any practice that uses coercion, deception, debt bondage, withheld wages, passport retention, or threats as a means of control.

We also require our suppliers and service partners to understand that compliance is not optional. Any suspected breach of our standards is taken seriously, investigated promptly, and addressed through corrective action or termination of the relationship where necessary. Our approach is based on prevention, transparency, and accountability across the full supply chain.

As part of our risk management process, Cleaners Stjohnswood carries out proportionate supplier audits and due diligence checks. These reviews may include assessing labour practices, verifying business registration details, reviewing employment records where appropriate, and confirming that suppliers share our ethical expectations. We focus additional attention on areas where vulnerability is higher, such as outsourced labour, recruitment intermediaries, and suppliers of consumables.

Where concerns are identified, we seek evidence of remedial action and may request updated policies, worker training records, or proof of lawful recruitment practices. Repeated non-compliance or failure to cooperate may result in suspension or removal from our approved supplier list. We believe that robust oversight is essential to protecting workers and maintaining trust in the services provided by Stjohnswood cleaning services.

We encourage a culture in which concerns can be raised early and without fear. Modern slavery risks can be hidden, so vigilance from managers, workers, and suppliers is vital. Training and awareness are used to help teams recognise warning signs such as unusual control over workers, restricted movement, excessive deductions, or unsafe living and working conditions.

To support safe disclosure, we maintain clear reporting channels for any suspected breach of this statement. Concerns may be reported through internal management routes or safeguarding procedures, and every report is treated seriously and confidentially. We aim to ensure that individuals raising concerns are protected from retaliation and that cases are reviewed fairly and promptly.

Our reporting process is designed to allow employees, contractors, and suppliers to speak up if they suspect exploitation within cleaners in Stjohnswood operations or the wider supply chain. Allegations are assessed using a risk-based approach, with appropriate escalation where needed. If modern slavery is identified, we work to protect affected individuals, preserve evidence, and cooperate with relevant authorities where required by law.

This statement is supported by our broader ethical standards, which include lawful recruitment, respectful treatment, and responsible sourcing. We expect procurement decisions to reflect not only cost and quality, but also the human rights risks associated with each supplier relationship. Zero tolerance means that exploitation will never be ignored, even where commercial pressure exists.

We review this Modern Slavery Statement annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal obligations and operational realities. The annual review considers changes in our business, new supplier risks, audit findings, incident reports, training needs, and any lessons learned from completed investigations. Where improvements are needed, we update our controls and strengthen our oversight.

The review process is approved by senior management and helps reinforce accountability at the highest level. By maintaining active oversight, strengthening supplier checks, and encouraging safe reporting, Cleaners Stjohnswood reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery in all forms. We will continue to improve our practices so that our services are delivered ethically, responsibly, and with respect for every person involved.
