Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Finsbury Park
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Cleaners Finsbury Park to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. We are committed to conducting all aspects of our cleaning services ethically, transparently, and with respect for human rights.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery
Cleaners Finsbury Park maintains a zero-tolerance stance towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, bonded labour, servitude, child labour, and human trafficking. We do not tolerate practices that exploit individuals or deprive them of their freedom and dignity, whether within our own organisation or within any third party that supplies goods or services to us.
All employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to uphold this policy and act in accordance with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. Any breach of this policy is considered a serious matter and may result in the termination of employment or commercial relationships.
Governance and Responsibilities
The leadership of Cleaners Finsbury Park is responsible for overseeing the effectiveness of our approach to managing modern slavery risks. Managers at all levels are required to promote awareness of modern slavery risks, ensure that staff understand this statement, and support the implementation of appropriate controls.
Employees are expected to familiarise themselves with this statement, complete any relevant training provided, and raise concerns if they suspect any form of modern slavery or exploitation in our operations or supply chain.
Risk Assessment and Due Diligence
We regularly assess the risk of modern slavery across our business activities, with a focus on higher-risk areas such as contracted labour, outsourced cleaning teams, and suppliers of equipment and consumables. Our risk assessment considers country of origin, sector risks, the nature of supplied services, and the use of temporary or migrant labour.
Where higher risks are identified, we implement stronger due diligence, including enhanced supplier checks, requests for supporting documentation, and, where appropriate, targeted audits. We aim to work with partners who share our commitment to ethical labour practices.
Supplier Standards and Audits
Cleaners Finsbury Park expects all suppliers and subcontractors to comply with our modern slavery expectations and applicable labour laws. We require suppliers to confirm that they do not engage in or permit modern slavery or human trafficking in any part of their operations.
We carry out supplier audits, which may be on-site or remote, to verify compliance with our standards. These audits may include document reviews, worker interviews, and checks on recruitment practices, working hours, wages, and conditions. Where non-compliance is identified, we seek corrective actions with clear timeframes. If a supplier fails to address identified issues, we may suspend or terminate the relationship.
Training and Awareness
To support the effective implementation of this statement, Cleaners Finsbury Park provides training for relevant employees, especially those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management. Training covers the indicators of modern slavery, our reporting expectations, and the consequences of non-compliance.
We also promote ongoing awareness of modern slavery issues by communicating updates, reinforcing our zero-tolerance stance, and sharing guidance on responsible business practices.
Reporting Channels and Protection
Cleaners Finsbury Park encourages all employees, workers, and external stakeholders to report any suspicions or concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected to our business or supply chain. Concerns may be raised through internal reporting channels or directly to management.
We are committed to ensuring that anyone who raises a concern in good faith is protected from retaliation, victimisation, or dismissal. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with appropriate confidentiality. Where concerns are substantiated, we will take swift action, which may include notifying relevant authorities and cooperating fully with any official investigations.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Cleaners Finsbury Park recognises that combating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. We are committed to continuously improving our policies, procedures, and controls to mitigate the risk of exploitation within our operations and supply chains.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, reflects current legislation, and incorporates lessons learned from audits, investigations, and stakeholder feedback. Where necessary, we update our practices and communicate changes to employees, suppliers, and other relevant parties.
This statement has been approved by the leadership of Cleaners Finsbury Park and represents our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and protecting the rights and welfare of all individuals connected to our business.
