Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Marylebone

Cleaner Marylebone is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to help prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative working practices across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that risks can exist in every sector, and we take a proactive approach to identifying, assessing, and reducing those risks.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all forms of modern slavery and labour exploitation. We will not knowingly work with any individual, organisation, or supplier that uses coerced, trafficked, underpaid, or unlawfully restricted labour. All staff are expected to uphold this principle, and it is embedded in our recruitment, contracting, and procurement practices. Cleaner Marylebone also expects the same commitment from all suppliers and subcontractors.

We understand that vigilance is essential. That is why we regularly review the way we operate and look for opportunities to strengthen our controls. Through this Cleaner Marylebone modern slavery statement, we reaffirm our responsibility to act ethically, protect vulnerable people, and promote fair treatment in every part of our work.

Supply Chain Due Diligence and Risk Management

We carry out supplier due diligence before entering into new business relationships and continue monitoring established arrangements throughout the year. Where appropriate, we request information on labour practices, employment standards, subcontracting arrangements, and compliance with applicable laws. Suppliers are expected to confirm that they do not use forced labour, child labour, or any form of human trafficking within their own operations or supply chains.

Supplier audits are an important part of our compliance framework. These audits may be scheduled or, where necessary, unannounced. They help us assess whether working conditions are safe, lawful, and free from exploitation. If concerns are identified, we require corrective action within a reasonable timeframe and may suspend or end the relationship if improvements are not made. Our approach to Cleaner Marylebone slavery prevention is based on both prevention and accountability.

We pay particular attention to higher-risk areas such as labour sourcing, subcontracting, and temporary work arrangements. Our procurement and management teams are trained to recognise warning signs, including unusual wage deductions, document retention, excessive working hours, or restricted freedom of movement. We treat these indicators seriously and act without delay.

Reporting Channels, Training, and Accountability

Cleaner Marylebone encourages anyone who becomes aware of a potential concern to report it promptly. Reporting channels are available internally through management and designated compliance leads, and concerns may also be escalated through formal grievance procedures. Reports are handled confidentially and investigated sensitively, with appropriate protection for individuals raising concerns in good faith. No one should fear retaliation for speaking up.

We also provide awareness training to relevant staff so they can understand the signs of modern slavery and know how to respond appropriately. This training supports our wider culture of responsibility and helps ensure that our teams can identify risks early. By strengthening awareness, we improve the effectiveness of the Cleaner Marylebone modern slavery policy and reinforce our commitment to ethical practice.

Where an incident is suspected or confirmed, we will take prompt action. This may include engaging with the supplier, carrying out additional checks, supporting affected individuals, notifying the relevant authorities where necessary, and reviewing internal procedures. We believe that swift intervention is essential to reducing harm and preventing recurrence.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement and the controls supporting it are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and proportionate to the risks we face. The review considers audit findings, supplier performance, training completion, reported concerns, and any changes in legal or operational requirements. We use these findings to strengthen our processes and improve oversight across the business.

As part of our annual review, we also assess whether additional safeguards are needed in relation to new suppliers, changing service models, or emerging risk areas. This ongoing cycle of review helps ensure that our Cleaner Marylebone modern slavery statement remains current, practical, and aligned with our values. Continuous improvement is central to our approach.

Cleaner Marylebone is dedicated to upholding dignity, fairness, and lawful working practices in everything we do. Through our zero-tolerance stance, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process, we aim to prevent exploitation and contribute to a safer, more responsible business environment.
