Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Ealing

Cleaners Ealing is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human dignity. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by our organisation to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that exploits workers or undermines their freedom.

Our approach is built on prevention, accountability, and continuous improvement. We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers associated with Cleaners in Ealing to uphold the same standards of integrity and lawful conduct. Human rights must be respected at every stage of service delivery, procurement, and employment. We do not accept any business arrangement that involves coercion, deceptive recruitment, withheld wages, document retention, or unsafe working conditions.

To support this commitment, Cleaners Ealing services embed anti-slavery principles into recruitment, onboarding, and supplier selection. We require reasonable evidence that workers are employed voluntarily, are of legal working age, and have fair access to their wages and working conditions. Where risks are identified, we act promptly to investigate, remediate, and, if necessary, end the relationship.

Our internal policies are reviewed to ensure they remain aligned with current legislation and best practice. Managers and team leaders are responsible for identifying warning signs, including unexplained turnover, restricted movement, unusual deductions, or a lack of transparency in worker records. Modern slavery awareness is reinforced through regular training so that staff understand how to recognise and respond to concerns.

Supplier audits are a key part of our assurance process. We assess suppliers of cleaning materials, equipment, and associated services using risk-based checks that may include document reviews, contract clauses, workplace inspections, and follow-up questions. Cleaner Ealing suppliers are expected to demonstrate compliance with labour laws, safe working practices, and ethical recruitment requirements.

Where a supplier cannot meet our expectations, we apply corrective action plans with clear deadlines and monitoring requirements. In serious cases, we reserve the right to suspend orders or terminate the arrangement. This helps ensure that cleaners in Ealing services are supported by a responsible supply chain that does not tolerate exploitation at any stage.

We also provide secure and accessible reporting channels so that employees and stakeholders can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes, designated safeguarding contacts, or formal incident processes. All concerns are handled confidentially, investigated appropriately, and treated with seriousness regardless of the source or seniority of the individuals involved.

Our whistleblowing and grievance procedures are designed to encourage early reporting of suspected abuse, coercion, or misconduct. Cleaners Ealing ensures that no one is penalised for speaking up in good faith. If a concern suggests immediate risk to a worker’s safety or freedom, it is escalated quickly for urgent review and action.

We maintain records of investigations, supplier assessments, training completion, and improvement actions to support transparency and accountability. These records help us identify patterns, assess risk areas, and strengthen prevention measures across the business. Cleaning Ealing operations are continually monitored so that ethical standards remain embedded in day-to-day practice.

Senior leadership is responsible for overseeing the implementation of this statement and ensuring that modern slavery risks are addressed across the organisation. This includes reviewing policy effectiveness, considering audit outcomes, and ensuring that appropriate resources are available for training, monitoring, and corrective action. We expect every person representing Cleaners Ealing company values to act with integrity and vigilance.

We conduct an annual review of this statement and our wider anti-slavery controls to confirm they remain effective and proportionate. The review considers legal updates, supplier performance, internal incident trends, and any lessons learned from investigations or audits. Where improvements are identified, action plans are created and tracked to completion.

This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical business conduct and respect for human rights. Cleaners in Ealing will continue to strengthen due diligence, improve supplier oversight, and support a culture in which exploitation has no place. By maintaining clear standards, strong controls, and active review, we aim to help prevent modern slavery in all areas of our work.
