Modern Slavery Statement for Streatham Cleaner

Streatham Cleaner is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognize that modern slavery can occur in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that exploits individuals or limits their freedom.

Our approach is based on compliance, prevention, and accountability. We expect every employee, contractor, and business partner to uphold the same values. As a cleaning service provider, Streatham Cleaner understands that our sector may involve outsourced labour, temporary staffing, and subcontracted services, which can create increased risks if proper checks are not in place. For that reason, we apply rigorous controls to identify and reduce potential exposure to modern slavery.

We also require all relevant suppliers to confirm that they operate in line with ethical employment standards. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take appropriate action. This statement reflects our continued effort to strengthen safeguards, improve oversight, and ensure that Streatham Cleaner modern slavery compliance remains an active priority rather than a one-time commitment.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all forms of forced or compulsory labour. No person working with or for Streatham Cleaner may be subjected to intimidation, debt bondage, document retention, unlawful deductions, or any other condition that undermines freedom of choice. We expect all staff to understand warning signs such as unexplained restrictions, poor living conditions linked to work, withheld pay, or workers being unable to speak freely about their employment.

To support this policy, we deliver internal awareness training so that managers and supervisors can identify and respond to potential risks. In addition, our recruitment practices are designed to promote fair treatment, transparent terms, and lawful working arrangements. Any suspected breach of our standards is treated seriously and may result in the suspension or termination of the relationship involved.

We promote a culture in which concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. This includes the ability to report suspected exploitation, inappropriate labour practices, or unethical conduct through internal reporting channels. We believe that early reporting is essential, because it gives us a better opportunity to investigate issues and protect vulnerable people before harm escalates.

Our supplier management process includes supplier audits and due diligence checks. Before engaging a supplier, we assess the nature of the service, the labour model used, and the supplier’s stated employment standards. Where risk is higher, we may request additional documentation, carry out further review, or conduct targeted audits to confirm that workers are being treated lawfully and fairly.

Supplier audits are intended to verify compliance with our expectations regarding wages, working hours, identity documentation, freedom of movement, and grievance procedures. If a supplier is found to fall short of our requirements, we seek corrective action within a reasonable timeframe. Where improvement is not demonstrated, we reserve the right to end the relationship. This helps protect the integrity of the Streatham Cleaner supply chain and reinforces our commitment to responsible procurement.

Reporting channels are available to employees and relevant stakeholders so that concerns can be raised promptly and securely. Reports may include suspected coercion, unsafe recruitment practices, signs of trafficking, or other abuses of labour rights. All reports are handled seriously, reviewed discreetly, and escalated where necessary to ensure proper investigation and remedial action.

Governance, Review, and Continuous Improvement

Responsibility for modern slavery prevention sits with our management team, who oversee implementation and review of this statement. They ensure that policies remain current, that staff understand their responsibilities, and that supplier standards are consistently applied. We are committed to ongoing improvement and recognize that effective prevention requires regular attention, clear procedures, and leadership support.

Annual review is a central part of our framework. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our controls, consider changes in legislation or risk, and update our measures where necessary. This review includes a reassessment of supplier risk, training needs, reporting activity, and any incidents or concerns identified during the year. The findings help shape our future actions and strengthen our response.

By maintaining this structured approach, Streatham Cleaner aims to reduce the risk of exploitation in every part of its business. We will continue to improve our practices, encourage responsible behaviour, and uphold the principles of fairness and transparency. This statement represents our ongoing commitment to ethical business conduct and to protecting the rights and wellbeing of all workers connected with our operations.
