Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Surrey

Cleaners Surrey is committed to operating with integrity, responsibility, and respect for human rights in every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative working practices within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that surrey cleaners, cleaning services in Surrey, and all associated suppliers must uphold ethical standards that protect workers and support fair treatment.

Our approach is built on a zero-tolerance policy. Any form of slavery, servitude, coercion, debt bondage, child labour, or exploitation is unacceptable. We expect all employees, contractors, and third-party providers to comply with this policy and to act in a way that reflects our values. We also ensure that recruitment, onboarding, and day-to-day management practices are designed to prevent unlawful control over workers. Cleaners in Surrey are expected to understand these obligations as part of their professional responsibilities.

We take a risk-based approach to prevention and oversight. As part of this, surrey cleaning services suppliers are assessed against ethical, legal, and operational criteria before engagement. This includes reviewing labour practices, employment records, subcontracting arrangements, and the transparency of workforce sourcing. Where appropriate, we require written confirmation that suppliers do not use exploitative labour and that their own supply chains meet required standards.

Supplier management is reinforced through regular supplier audits and ongoing checks. These audits may include document reviews, site inspections, and discussions with management regarding hiring practices, pay arrangements, working hours, and grievance procedures. If a concern is identified, we may request corrective action, additional evidence, or immediate remediation. Where serious issues are found, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship.

We also provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Any employee, subcontractor, or supplier representative may report suspected misconduct, unsafe conditions, or signs of exploitation through internal management routes. Reports are handled confidentially and investigated promptly. We emphasise that speaking up is a responsibility that helps protect workers and strengthen trust across cleaning Surrey operations.

Training and awareness are central to our prevention measures. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising warning signs such as withheld documents, unexplained deductions, restricted movement, or intimidation. Managers are expected to respond carefully and escalate concerns when necessary. By embedding awareness into daily practice, Cleaners Surrey aims to reduce risk across all service delivery areas and improve accountability throughout the supply chain.

Our commitment extends beyond compliance. We believe that ethical labour practices are essential to quality service, and that responsible business conduct supports safer workplaces for everyone involved. This statement applies to direct staff, temporary workers, agency placements, and subcontracted teams. The standards also apply to materials and service providers that support Surrey cleaners and related operations.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal expectations and operational realities. The review considers changes in legislation, supply chain risk, audit findings, reported concerns, and improvements to control measures. Where necessary, we update our policies, training, and supplier requirements to strengthen our response and maintain continuous improvement.

Through this Modern Slavery Statement, cleaners Surrey confirms its ongoing commitment to fair treatment, ethical sourcing, and transparent oversight. We will continue to monitor, improve, and enforce our controls so that modern slavery has no place in our business or supply networks. Our position is clear: zero tolerance, active prevention, and responsible action at every level.
