Modern Slavery Statement for Flat Cleaning London

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Flat Cleaning London in line with our ethical, legal, and social responsibilities. We are committed to conducting our business in a manner that respects human rights and actively works to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all our operations and supply chains.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Flat Cleaning London has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. This applies to every part of our business and to all individuals working for or on behalf of our company, including employees, contractors, and suppliers.

We expect everyone who works with us or supplies services to us to share our commitment to ethical conduct and respect for human dignity. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of contracts or working relationships.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Flat Cleaning London provides residential and commercial cleaning services in London and the surrounding areas. Our supply chains include providers of cleaning products and equipment, facilities management services, recruitment and labour agencies, and other professional services.

We recognise that some areas of the cleaning and facilities sector may be at higher risk of modern slavery. As a result, we are continuously improving our processes to identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks throughout our operations and supply base.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We require our suppliers and business partners to uphold standards that are consistent with our zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery. Our supplier selection and onboarding processes include consideration of labour practices, working conditions, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Where appropriate and proportionate to the level of risk, we conduct supplier assessments and audits to verify that adequate safeguards are in place. These assessments may include review of policies, workforce arrangements, recruitment practices, and evidence of right to work checks. If concerns are identified, we may require corrective action plans and follow-up reviews. Continued non-compliance may result in the suspension or termination of the business relationship.

Policies, Training, and Due Diligence

Our internal policies support our efforts to prevent modern slavery. These include policies on ethical conduct, recruitment, equality and diversity, and whistleblowing. We seek to ensure that all employees are engaged on fair terms, are free to leave employment, and are provided with clear information about their rights and obligations.

Relevant staff, particularly those involved in recruitment, procurement, and contract management, receive training to help them recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand how to respond to concerns. We continue to develop our due diligence processes so that potential risks are identified early and addressed in a timely and effective manner.

Reporting Concerns and Speaking Up

Flat Cleaning London encourages all employees, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns or suspicions of modern slavery or human trafficking. Reports can be made through our internal reporting channels or directly to senior management.

We are committed to ensuring that individuals who raise concerns in good faith do so without fear of retaliation or detrimental treatment. All reports are taken seriously, treated confidentially as far as practicable, and investigated promptly. Where necessary, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and take appropriate remedial action.

Monitoring, Accountability, and Annual Review

We monitor the effectiveness of our approach to preventing modern slavery through regular review of our policies, supplier practices, training programmes, and any incidents reported. Key risk indicators and feedback from staff and suppliers inform improvements to our procedures.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every twelve months to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and effective. The review considers changes in our business operations, developments in legislation and best practice, and the outcomes of our due diligence and auditing activities.

This statement has been approved by the leadership of Flat Cleaning London, who take overall responsibility for ensuring that it is implemented and that our actions reflect our commitment to combating modern slavery and human trafficking.
