Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Fulham

Cleaner Fulham is committed to conducting its operations with integrity, respect and responsibility. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and all forms of exploitation within our business and across our supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect industries through direct employment, subcontracted work and sourcing arrangements, and we take a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines human dignity.

As a professional cleaning service, Cleaner Fulham understands that our labour model and supplier relationships must be managed carefully. We expect all employees, contractors and suppliers to uphold lawful and ethical standards. Our commitment extends beyond compliance: we aim to create a culture in which fairness, transparency and accountability are embedded in everyday decision-making.

We do not tolerate any form of coercion, deception, debt bondage, child labour or exploitation. Every person working with or for Cleaner Fulham must be treated fairly, paid appropriately and given safe working conditions. This statement applies to our internal practices as well as to procurement, outsourcing and partner oversight.

Our governance framework includes due diligence checks when selecting and renewing supplier relationships. Supplier audits are used to assess risk, review labour practices and confirm that our expectations are being met. Where appropriate, audits may involve document reviews, site visits, and verification of employment records, wage practices and worker welfare standards.

We prioritise suppliers who can demonstrate ethical recruitment, legal employment status and compliance with relevant labour laws. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and proportionately. Where improvements are needed, suppliers are required to implement corrective actions within agreed timeframes. Failure to cooperate or repeated breaches may lead to suspension or termination of the relationship.

Cleaner Fulham also requires managers to monitor indicators that may suggest exploitation, such as restricted movement, unusual payment deductions, or signs that workers are being controlled by third parties. These checks support our wider responsibility to ensure that our business operations remain free from abuse and exploitation.

To help identify concerns early, we maintain clear reporting channels for employees, workers and business partners. Reports may be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. We encourage anyone who suspects a breach of this statement to speak up immediately so the issue can be investigated and addressed in a timely manner.

All reports are treated seriously and handled with discretion. When a concern is received, it is reviewed by the relevant management team, documented appropriately and assessed for urgency. If there is evidence of potential modern slavery, we will escalate the matter and take decisive action, which may include engagement with suppliers, suspension of work, or referral to the appropriate authorities.

Training and awareness are important parts of our prevention strategy. Staff involved in procurement, recruitment and operations receive guidance on recognising warning signs and understanding their responsibilities. This helps reinforce a workplace culture where exploitation is not ignored and ethical conduct remains a shared priority.

Cleaner Fulham is committed to continual improvement and accountability. Our approach is reviewed through internal oversight and updated in response to emerging risks, regulatory changes and lessons learned from supplier monitoring. We recognise that modern slavery risks can evolve, so our controls must remain practical, effective and responsive.

We also conduct an annual review of this statement and related procedures. The review considers the effectiveness of our due diligence, the outcomes of supplier audits, any reports raised through our reporting channels and the actions taken to improve compliance. This process ensures that our response remains proportionate and aligned with best practice.

As part of that review, we assess whether additional safeguards are needed in higher-risk areas and whether our policies continue to reflect the standards expected of a responsible service provider. Where opportunities for improvement are identified, we update our controls, strengthen training and refine supplier engagement practices.

Cleaner Fulham remains firmly committed to preventing modern slavery in all forms. Through a zero-tolerance policy, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and an annual review process, we aim to uphold the highest ethical standards and protect the rights and welfare of everyone connected to our business.
