Roehampton Cleaner Modern Slavery Statement

Introduction and Purpose

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the approach taken by Roehampton Cleaner to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect and promote human rights and to identify, prevent, and mitigate any risk of exploitation associated with our cleaning services and procurement activities.

This statement applies to all Roehampton Cleaner employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers involved in delivering goods or services to our business.

Zero-Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery

Roehampton Cleaner has a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and all forms of exploitation. We are committed to operating ethically and with integrity in all business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that slavery and human trafficking are not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any of our supply chains.

Any breach of this policy by employees may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. For suppliers and contractors, non-compliance may result in the review, suspension, or termination of contracts.

Supply Chain Standards and Due Diligence

We expect all suppliers to share our commitment to eradicating modern slavery and to uphold fair working practices. As part of our supplier onboarding and review processes, we assess the risk of modern slavery and require acknowledgement of our ethical standards. Where appropriate, we request evidence of policies, procedures, and training in relation to labour rights and modern slavery.

Roehampton Cleaner is committed to improving transparency in our supply chains and to working with suppliers to raise standards where risks are identified. We reserve the right to request further information where we believe there may be a heightened risk of non-compliance.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

To help ensure compliance with our zero-tolerance policy, Roehampton Cleaner conducts risk-based supplier audits and monitoring activities. These may include reviews of employment records, verification of worker identity and age, examination of working conditions, and interviews with workers where appropriate and practicable.

Where concerns are identified, we will engage with the supplier to develop corrective action plans with clear timelines. Persistent or serious non-compliance may result in the suspension or termination of the business relationship.

Training, Awareness, and Responsibilities

We provide appropriate training and guidance to managers and relevant staff so they can recognise signs of modern slavery and understand how to respond to concerns. Responsibilities for implementing this statement sit with senior management, who oversee risk assessment, supplier due diligence, and the review of reported concerns.

All employees are expected to act in accordance with our values and policies, to remain vigilant for indicators of exploitation, and to raise any concerns without delay.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Roehampton Cleaner encourages anyone who suspects that modern slavery or human trafficking may be taking place in our operations or supply chains to report their concerns. Concerns can be raised internally through line managers or senior management, or via established whistleblowing channels within the organisation.

We are committed to ensuring that individuals who make reports in good faith are protected from victimisation, retaliation, or any detrimental treatment as a result of raising concerns. All reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated where appropriate.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Roehampton Cleaner recognises that the risks of modern slavery can evolve over time. We are committed to continual improvement of our processes, including the enhancement of risk assessments, supplier engagement, and staff training.

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually by senior management to ensure it remains effective and reflects current legislation, best practice, and the nature of our operations and supply chains. Where necessary, we will update our procedures and controls to strengthen our approach and better protect vulnerable workers.

This statement has been approved by the leadership of Roehampton Cleaner and reflects our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery in all its forms.
