Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement for Cleaners Queen's Park

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps Cleaners Queen's Park has taken, and continues to take, to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place within our business or supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our operations and relationships.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Cleaners Queen's Park provides professional cleaning services to residential and commercial clients. Our operations rely on direct employees, agency workers, and a range of suppliers, including providers of cleaning products, equipment, workwear, and facility services. We recognise that elements of our supply chain may be global and may therefore be exposed to a heightened risk of labour exploitation, unfair working practices, and other forms of modern slavery.

We are committed to understanding these risks and working collaboratively with our suppliers and partners to mitigate them wherever they may arise.

Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

Cleaners Queen's Park has a clear zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking in any form, whether within our own operations or in our supply chains. This applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers at every level.

Our zero-tolerance stance means we will not knowingly work with any organisation or individual that is complicit in, or fails to take adequate steps to prevent, modern slavery. Where credible concerns are identified, we will investigate promptly, take appropriate remedial action, and, where necessary, terminate business relationships.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and business partners to share our commitment to ethical labour practices. As part of our supplier due diligence, we assess the risk of modern slavery by reviewing the nature of the goods and services provided, the geographic location, and the use of subcontracted or temporary labour.

We carry out proportionate checks and audits of higher-risk suppliers. These may include requesting written confirmations of compliance with relevant labour laws, reviewing policies on recruitment and worker welfare, and, where appropriate, conducting site visits or remote assessments. Suppliers are required to cooperate fully with any information requests and to demonstrate transparent employment practices.

Where areas of concern or non-compliance are identified, we will work with the supplier to agree corrective actions and clear timelines. Persistent or serious non-compliance may result in suspension or termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We encourage all employees, workers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected to Cleaners Queen's Park. Concerns can be raised through internal management channels or directly to senior leadership.

We are committed to ensuring that anyone who raises a concern in good faith is treated with respect and will not suffer any form of retaliation or detrimental treatment as a result of speaking up. Reports will be treated sensitively, investigated promptly, and, where appropriate, escalated to relevant authorities.

Training and Awareness

We aim to increase understanding of modern slavery risks across our business. Managers and key staff involved in recruitment, supplier selection, and contract management are made aware of the indicators of modern slavery and the procedures for escalating concerns. We will continue to develop and refine our training materials as our understanding of risks evolves.

Ongoing Improvement and Annual Review

Cleaners Queen's Park recognises that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing process requiring continuous improvement. We are committed to strengthening our controls, improving transparency, and collaborating with suppliers to drive higher standards of worker protection.

This statement will be reviewed at least annually to assess the effectiveness of our measures, reflect changes in legislation or guidance, and incorporate lessons learned from audits, investigations, and stakeholder feedback. Updated versions of the statement will reflect any new actions taken or planned to enhance our approach.

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement has been approved by the leadership of Cleaners Queen's Park and represents our commitment to upholding human rights, dignity, and fair treatment for all individuals affected by our business and supply chains.
