Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Hepherdsbush

Cleaners Hepherdsbush is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the cleaning sector can face heightened labour risks, and we therefore maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation.

Our commitment applies across all levels of the organisation, including employees, temporary workers, subcontractors, and external suppliers. We expect every person and business acting on behalf of Cleaners Hepherdsbush to uphold ethical standards and to comply with applicable labour laws. Any breach of this expectation may result in contract termination, removal from approved supplier lists, or other appropriate action.

We also aim to promote responsible procurement throughout our cleaners Hepherds Bush supply chain. Before engaging suppliers, we assess their labour practices, ownership structures, and recruitment methods to identify potential risks. Where concerns are identified, we request corrective action and may delay or refuse engagement until satisfactory assurances are provided.

Supplier audits form a central part of our prevention programme. We conduct risk-based checks on selected suppliers and service partners, focusing on wage practices, working hours, document retention, and the freedom of workers to leave employment. These audits may include review of records, questionnaires, site visits, and follow-up assessments. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we require a remediation plan and monitor progress closely.

In addition to formal audits, we encourage ongoing due diligence for any Hepherds Bush cleaners provider or labour intermediary linked to our business. We look for evidence that workers have access to fair contracts, lawful pay, and safe conditions. We also seek assurances that recruitment fees are not passed on to workers and that identity documents are not withheld. Our approach is designed to reduce risk before it becomes harm.

Training is provided where needed so that staff involved in procurement, supervision, and operations understand the warning signs of exploitation. This includes recognising indicators such as unusual control over workers, restricted movement, debt bondage, or inconsistent payroll information. By strengthening awareness, Cleaners Hepherdsbush improves the ability of our teams to prevent, detect, and respond to modern slavery concerns.

We maintain multiple reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and promptly. Employees and contractors may report suspected misconduct through internal management routes, safeguarding procedures, or designated escalation processes. Reports are treated seriously, reviewed confidentially where appropriate, and investigated without retaliation. We encourage early reporting because timely action can help protect vulnerable individuals and prevent further harm.

Any allegation relating to modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking is assessed in line with our internal procedures. Where a risk is identified, we cooperate with relevant authorities and take immediate steps to safeguard affected individuals. We do not tolerate victimisation of whistleblowers or anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith. Our policy is intended to support openness, accountability, and ethical conduct across the business.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal and operational developments. The review considers audit outcomes, supplier performance, reported incidents, training completion, and any changes in risk exposure. Where improvements are needed, we update procedures, strengthen controls, and set new objectives for the next reporting period.

Through these measures, Cleaners Hepherdsbush seeks to uphold dignity, fairness, and responsible business practice. We expect our partners to share this commitment and to work with us in preventing exploitation in every part of the cleaning services value chain. This statement reflects our ongoing dedication to identifying risks, enforcing standards, and protecting workers from abuse.
