Earls Court Cleaner Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Earls Court Cleaner has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring within our business operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and to promote respect for human rights in all areas of our work.

Earls Court Cleaner operates in the cleaning services sector, engaging staff, contractors, and suppliers to deliver services to a broad range of clients. We understand that modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, and exploitative working conditions. Our commitment is to identify, prevent, and address any such risks wherever they may arise.

Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

Earls Court Cleaner has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We will not knowingly engage with any individual, organisation, or supplier involved in such practices. All staff, from management to front-line operatives, are expected to support this policy and act with integrity in all business dealings.

Our internal policies and procedures reinforce fair recruitment practices, lawful employment conditions, and respectful treatment of all workers. We are committed to paying at least the minimum legal wage, ensuring working hours are reasonable and voluntary, and providing a safe and healthy working environment.

Supply Chain Standards and Supplier Audits

We recognise that risks of modern slavery may be higher within extended supply chains, particularly where goods or services originate from environments with weaker labour protections. To address this, we require our suppliers and subcontractors to confirm that they comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws.

Earls Court Cleaner seeks to build long-term relationships with reputable suppliers who share our values. As part of our due diligence process, we assess potential and existing suppliers on ethical conduct, labour practices, and compliance history. Where appropriate, we request supporting documentation and conduct periodic audits or reviews to verify that our standards are being met.

If a supplier is found to be in breach of our expectations regarding modern slavery, we will engage with them to develop corrective action plans. Where remediation is not possible or cooperation is not forthcoming, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Earls Court Cleaner encourages anyone working for or with us to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery or unethical labour practices. We are committed to fostering an environment where issues can be reported without fear of retaliation or disadvantage.

Concerns may relate to our own operations, our suppliers, or the wider supply chain. All reports are taken seriously and treated sensitively. We will investigate any credible allegation promptly and thoroughly, and we will take appropriate action, which may include notifying relevant authorities where required.

We also promote awareness among our staff of the signs of modern slavery and human trafficking, and we provide guidance on how to report any suspicions.

Training, Awareness, and Continuous Improvement

To support our zero-tolerance approach, Earls Court Cleaner works to raise awareness of modern slavery risks among managers, supervisors, and employees. Training and guidance aim to help staff recognise indicators of exploitation, understand our policies, and respond appropriately to concerns.

We are committed to continuous improvement. Lessons learned from investigations, supplier assessments, and industry developments are used to strengthen our procedures, enhance due diligence, and refine our risk management processes.

Annual Review and Statement Approval

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every twelve months to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The review considers changes in our business operations, supply chains, and any emerging risks identified over the preceding year.

Following each review, the statement may be updated to reflect new measures, strengthened controls, or enhancements to training and reporting mechanisms. The updated statement is then approved by the senior management of Earls Court Cleaner, who hold ultimate responsibility for its implementation.

This statement reflects the position of Earls Court Cleaner for the current financial year and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business.
