Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners W4

Cleaners W4 is committed to operating ethically and responsibly, with a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and any form of exploitation. As a trusted cleaning provider in the W4 area, we recognise that our work relies on people, and we believe every person involved in our operations and supply chain must be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect. This statement sets out the principles and actions that guide our approach.

Our business is built on compliance, integrity, and care. We require all internal teams to act in line with relevant labour laws and ethical standards, and we expect the same from all suppliers, subcontractors, and service partners. The Cleaners W4 approach is based on prevention, detection, and swift action whenever risks are identified. We are committed to ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our workplace, our services, or our procurement decisions.

We assess modern slavery risks as part of our procurement and onboarding processes, paying close attention to labour-intensive services and any areas where workers may be vulnerable. Supplier due diligence includes reviewing business practices, employment standards, and evidence of legal compliance. Where risk is higher, we apply enhanced scrutiny and request additional documentation. We also reserve the right to suspend or end relationships with suppliers who fail to meet our ethical expectations.

Supplier oversight is a key part of our control framework. Supplier audits are carried out on a scheduled basis and may also be triggered by concern, incident, or anomaly. These audits may include document checks, workforce interviews, site observations, and review of payroll and working-time records. Cleaners W4 expects suppliers to maintain accurate records and demonstrate that workers are employed voluntarily, paid lawfully, and protected from intimidation or abuse. Findings from audits are recorded, tracked, and followed up until issues are resolved.

Training and awareness also support our anti-slavery commitments. Managers and supervisors are encouraged to recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld documents, unusual dependency on a supervisor, or inconsistent pay arrangements. Staff are reminded that vigilance is essential, especially in outsourced or temporary labour arrangements. We aim to build a culture where ethical concerns are taken seriously and where every individual feels empowered to act if something does not seem right.

Clear reporting channels are available so that concerns can be raised without delay. Reports may relate to suspected exploitation, unsafe working conditions, coercion, harassment, or concerns involving a supplier or colleague. Concerns are handled confidentially wherever possible, and we do not permit retaliation against anyone who raises an issue in good faith. Every report is reviewed promptly, documented carefully, and escalated when necessary to support a fair and effective response.

When a concern is substantiated, Cleaners W4 takes appropriate action based on the circumstances. This may include corrective plans, increased monitoring, retraining, suspension of work, or termination of a contract. If there is evidence of criminal activity, the matter will be referred to the appropriate authorities. Our response is guided by the belief that protecting people is more important than protecting commercial relationships.

We also recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time. For that reason, this statement and our related policies are subject to an annual review. The review considers audit results, reported concerns, supplier performance, legal developments, and the effectiveness of our controls. This process helps ensure that our cleaner services remain aligned with our values and that our anti-slavery measures continue to improve.

Cleaners W4 is committed to continuous improvement and accountability. We will update our internal processes where needed, strengthen supplier expectations, and reinforce training across our organisation. By maintaining strict standards and monitoring compliance closely, we aim to protect vulnerable workers and uphold ethical practice across every part of our operations.

This Modern Slavery Statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to act with integrity and to ensure that the delivery of Cleaners W4 services is never connected to abuse, coercion, or exploitation. We believe that strong governance, transparent reporting, and active supplier management are essential to creating a safe and ethical working environment for all.
