Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Hammersmith

Cleaner Hammersmith is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and in full respect of human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. Our approach is built on a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery, supported by due diligence, training, and ongoing oversight. We recognise that even service-based businesses must remain vigilant, especially when working with external suppliers, subcontractors, and labour providers.

Our commitment applies across the organisation and reflects the values of Cleaner Hammersmith as a trusted local cleaning provider. We expect the same high standards from everyone who works with us. Any breach of this statement, whether by an employee, supplier, or third party, will be treated seriously and may result in the termination of a contract or relationship. We also require all relevant parties to comply with applicable laws and to act with integrity in every aspect of their work.

As part of our risk management process, we carry out supplier checks and ongoing supplier audits where appropriate. These reviews help us assess labour practices, employment conditions, and compliance with anti-slavery expectations. We focus on identifying risks in higher-risk areas such as temporary staffing, outsourced services, and goods procurement. Any concerns raised during a review are investigated promptly, and corrective action is required where needed. Cleaner Hammersmith aims to work only with suppliers who share our commitment to fair and lawful employment.

Policies, Training, and Reporting

To support our Cleaner Hammersmith modern slavery commitments, we maintain internal procedures that promote transparency and accountability. Staff involved in procurement, supervision, and supplier management receive guidance on recognising warning signs of exploitation, including unusual payment arrangements, restricted movement, or poor working conditions. We encourage a culture where concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. The business takes a preventive approach, using clear standards and regular monitoring to reduce the likelihood of abuse within our operations.

We provide reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and suppliers can raise concerns about possible modern slavery issues. Reports may be made through internal management routes or through designated safeguarding processes, and every concern is handled confidentially and with urgency. We will investigate allegations fairly, document findings, and take appropriate action, which may include suspension of work, further audit activity, or referral to the relevant authorities where necessary. This reporting framework is central to maintaining a safe and ethical working environment.

Our recruitment practices are also designed to prevent exploitation. We verify the right to work for relevant personnel, seek to ensure contracts are clear, and avoid arrangements that could place individuals at risk of debt bondage or coercion. When we engage third parties, we expect them to uphold the same ethical standards and to maintain accurate records relating to wages, hours, and terms of employment. These measures help ensure that Cleaner Hammersmith operates with care, consistency, and respect for human dignity.

Monitoring, Improvement, and Annual Review

Modern slavery risks can change over time, so our approach is not static. We review supplier performance, policy compliance, and incident trends as part of our wider governance process. Where weaknesses are identified, we update controls and improve our checks. We may request additional information from suppliers, conduct follow-up reviews, or require evidence of remedial action. This ongoing monitoring helps us strengthen our safeguards and reinforces our cleaner Hammersmith statement of ethical business practice.

Annual Review

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, proportionate, and aligned with current legal requirements and business practices. The review considers any reported concerns, audit outcomes, supplier performance, and changes in operational risk. Findings from the review are used to improve policies, refine training, and strengthen oversight. By keeping this statement under regular review, Cleaner Hammersmith demonstrates its continuing commitment to preventing modern slavery and promoting fair treatment throughout its activities.

In summary, Cleaner Hammersmith rejects all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. Through a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and an annual review process, we work to ensure that our operations remain ethical, lawful, and respectful of human rights. We expect everyone connected with our business to share and support these principles.
