Modern Slavery Statement for Roehampton Cleaner

Roehampton Cleaner is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and expect the same standard from every supplier, contractor, and business partner. Our approach is grounded in due diligence, accountability, and continuous improvement, with clear oversight from management and practical controls across our procurement and service delivery activities.

Our Commitment and Governance

We recognise that the cleaning sector can face heightened labour risks due to subcontracting, temporary work, and varying supplier arrangements. To address this, Roehampton Cleaner applies strict recruitment and onboarding checks, ensuring that workers are engaged lawfully and treated fairly. We prohibit the use of forced, coerced, or underage labour in any part of our business. Our internal policies require managers to act promptly if concerns arise, and any breach of our zero-tolerance policy is treated as a serious matter that may result in termination of the relationship or other corrective action.

We also provide ongoing training for relevant staff so they can identify warning signs such as withheld documents, inconsistent wage practices, restricted movement, or signs of intimidation. This training supports our commitment to ethical operations and helps strengthen awareness across the business. By embedding prevention measures into everyday practice, Roehampton Cleaner aims to reduce risk and uphold the dignity and safety of every worker involved in our services.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Our supply chain is reviewed using a risk-based approach. We expect suppliers to comply with all applicable labour laws and to share our expectations on ethical conduct. New suppliers are assessed before engagement, and higher-risk arrangements may be subject to additional scrutiny. As part of this process, Roehampton Cleaner conducts supplier audits where appropriate, which may include document checks, interviews, site visits, and reviews of working conditions. These audits help us identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they escalate.

If a concern is identified, we work with the supplier to implement corrective actions within a defined timeframe. Where a supplier fails to cooperate or repeatedly falls short of our standards, we may suspend or end the relationship. We also encourage suppliers to maintain their own ethical controls, including grievance mechanisms, workforce verification processes, and records that demonstrate lawful employment practices. Our objective is not only compliance, but also the promotion of responsible business behaviour throughout the supply chain.

Reporting Channels and Worker Protection

Roehampton Cleaner encourages all workers, suppliers, and stakeholders to report concerns about modern slavery or unsafe labour practices. Reports may be made through internal management channels or through designated safeguarding procedures. We aim to ensure that concerns are handled confidentially, taken seriously, and investigated without delay. Individuals who raise issues in good faith are protected from retaliation, discrimination, or dismissal. This includes any worker who suspects exploitation, debt bondage, withholding of pay, or other abusive conduct.

When a report is received, we assess the risk, investigate the facts, and take appropriate action. This may include immediate escalation, temporary suspension of work, support for affected individuals, and notification to relevant authorities where necessary. We understand that effective reporting channels are essential to preventing harm, so we strive to create a culture where speaking up is safe and respected. By promoting transparency, we strengthen trust and reinforce our commitment to ethical cleaning services.

Our modern slavery controls are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and relevant. The review considers changes in legislation, industry risks, supplier performance, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Findings from the review are used to update policies, improve training, and refine audit practices. This process allows Roehampton Cleaner to respond to emerging risks and continue improving our safeguards against exploitation.

Roehampton Cleaner remains committed to maintaining high standards of integrity across every aspect of its work. We will continue to strengthen our governance, supplier oversight, and reporting arrangements to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our operations or supply chains. Through vigilance, accountability, and regular review, we aim to protect people, support ethical business practice, and uphold the values that guide our company.
