Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Finsbury Park

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Cleaners Finsbury Park to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to act ethically and with integrity in all our relationships and are committed to continuously improving our practices to safeguard workers and uphold human rights.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Cleaners Finsbury Park has a clear and uncompromising zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, bonded labour, child labour and human trafficking. We will not knowingly engage with or support any organisation that is involved in such practices. This commitment applies to all aspects of our business, including direct employment, agency workers, subcontractors and the procurement of goods and services.

Our leadership is responsible for ensuring that this policy is communicated, understood and applied consistently across the company. All managers are expected to promote a culture where exploitation is never accepted and any concerns are taken seriously and addressed promptly.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Cleaners Finsbury Park provides professional cleaning services. Our supply chains include providers of cleaning products, equipment and uniforms, as well as labour agencies and other service providers that support our operations. We are aware that some sectors and geographical locations may present higher risks of labour exploitation, and we take this into account when selecting and managing suppliers.

We aim to work with reputable suppliers who share our values and demonstrate robust labour and human rights standards. The avoidance of modern slavery is considered an essential part of our decision-making when forming and maintaining supplier relationships.

Supplier Standards and Audit Measures

All key suppliers are required to confirm that they comply with applicable labour laws and that they prohibit forced labour, child labour and human trafficking in their operations. We expect suppliers to have their own policies and due diligence processes in place to prevent exploitation in their operations and, where relevant, their own supply chains.

We conduct proportionate supplier assessments and audits, which may include site visits, document reviews and discussions with management and workers. Where risks are identified, we engage with the supplier to agree on corrective actions and timescales for improvement. In cases of serious non-compliance or failure to address concerns, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the business relationship.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels

Cleaners Finsbury Park encourages all employees, agency workers, contractors, suppliers and other stakeholders to report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery or human trafficking connected to our business. Reports can be made to management or designated senior staff members and may be made anonymously if desired.

We will investigate all reports promptly and sensitively, taking appropriate action where exploitation or risk is identified. Retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited. We support and protect whistleblowers and will cooperate with relevant authorities where criminal activity is suspected.

Training, Awareness and Continuous Improvement

We provide relevant staff, particularly those involved in recruitment, procurement and supplier management, with guidance and training on identifying indicators of modern slavery and responding to concerns. We also promote awareness within our wider workforce so that all colleagues understand the importance of vigilance and responsible reporting.

Our procedures and controls are reviewed regularly to reflect evolving best practice, legal developments and lessons learned from our own experience and from industry initiatives. We are committed to strengthening our approach over time and to working collaboratively with others to combat modern slavery.

Monitoring, Governance and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing this Modern Slavery Statement and related policies rests with the senior management of Cleaners Finsbury Park. They monitor implementation, evaluate the effectiveness of our controls and ensure that necessary improvements are identified and implemented.

This statement is reviewed at least once every year to ensure it remains accurate, relevant and aligned with our business operations and external expectations. As part of this annual review, we assess our risk profile, supplier performance, audit findings, reports received and the outcomes of any investigations, and we update our policies and procedures where appropriate.

By maintaining a zero-tolerance stance, enforcing clear supplier standards, providing secure reporting channels and committing to annual review and improvement, Cleaners Finsbury Park seeks to play a responsible and active role in the prevention of modern slavery and human trafficking.
