Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Tufnellpark

Cleaners Tufnellpark is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can affect businesses in every sector, and we maintain a clear zero-tolerance policy toward any form of abuse or coercion.

As a responsible provider, Cleaners Tufnellpark expects the same ethical standards from employees, contractors, and suppliers. We require all parties to act lawfully, treat workers with dignity, and ensure that employment is freely chosen. Any breach of these expectations is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of a relationship, contract review, or other appropriate action.

Our approach is built on prevention, oversight, and continual improvement. We assess risk across recruitment, subcontracting, sourcing, and service delivery, with particular attention to labour practices that could conceal exploitation. Through due diligence and monitoring, Cleaners Tufnellpark seeks to reduce vulnerability and uphold responsible business conduct at every level.

Supplier audits are an important part of our safeguarding measures. We carry out checks on current and prospective suppliers to confirm compliance with employment law, wage standards, and working-time requirements. Where appropriate, audits may include document reviews, workforce verification, and assessments of policies relating to recruitment fees, passport retention, accommodation, and freedom of movement.

When risks are identified, we request corrective action within a defined timeframe and monitor progress carefully. If a supplier fails to address concerns, we may suspend the relationship or end the arrangement. This process supports the ethical standards of Cleaners Tufnellpark and helps ensure that our supply chain remains transparent, accountable, and free from exploitation.

We also provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees and associated workers are encouraged to report any suspicion of trafficking, debt bondage, or unsafe recruitment practices. Reports are handled sensitively, investigated promptly, and escalated where necessary to appropriate internal decision-makers.

To strengthen trust, we promote a culture in which people understand their rights and responsibilities. Managers receive guidance on recognising warning signs, including unusual restrictions on workers, signs of intimidation, or inconsistent employment records. By reinforcing awareness, Cleaners Tufnellpark aims to identify risks early and respond before harm occurs.

Our internal controls also support ethical recruitment and fair treatment. We expect all workers to have access to their own documents, receive accurate information about their roles, and be free to leave employment in line with lawful notice requirements. These principles are central to the way Cleaners Tufnellpark operates and underpin our commitment to responsible service delivery.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The review considers changes in risk, supplier performance, internal processes, and any incidents or concerns reported during the year. Where improvements are identified, we update our controls and reinforce expectations throughout the organisation.
