Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Uxbridge

Cleaner Uxbridge is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and zero tolerance for all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, child exploitation, and any other abusive labour practices. This statement sets out the steps taken by Cleaner Uxbridge to prevent, detect, and address risks within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many sectors and may be hidden behind complex labour arrangements, so we remain alert to signs of vulnerability, coercion, and exploitation.

Our approach is grounded in respect for human rights, lawful employment practices, and responsible procurement. We expect every employee, contractor, and supplier associated with Cleaner Uxbridge to uphold the same standards. This includes fair recruitment, legal working hours, proper wages, and safe working conditions. We will not knowingly work with any party that benefits from or contributes to exploitation in any form.

To support this commitment, Cleaner Uxbridge requires all relevant teams to complete regular awareness training so they can recognise warning signs such as withheld documents, unusual deductions, restricted movement, or signs of intimidation. These controls are reinforced through policy checks, management oversight, and a clear expectation that concerns must be raised without delay.

Supplier due diligence is a core element of our anti-slavery framework. Before engaging a new supplier, Cleaner Uxbridge assesses the nature of the goods or services supplied, the country or region of operation, labour arrangements, and the supplier’s own ethical standards. Where risks are identified, we apply enhanced checks and may request evidence of recruitment processes, right-to-work verification, worker welfare measures, and employment records.

We also conduct supplier audits on a risk-based schedule. These audits may include document reviews, site visits, interviews, and verification of subcontracting arrangements. Cleaner Uxbridge reserves the right to suspend or terminate relationships where a supplier fails to cooperate, provides inaccurate information, or is unable to demonstrate adequate safeguards against modern slavery.

Audit findings are logged, monitored, and followed up with corrective action plans when appropriate. Where concerns are serious, we escalate immediately and review whether continued engagement is compatible with our values and obligations. This process helps us maintain accountability throughout the supply chain and encourages continuous improvement among business partners.

Reporting concerns is essential to preventing abuse. Cleaner Uxbridge provides multiple reporting channels so that employees, agency workers, suppliers, and other stakeholders can raise issues safely and in confidence. Reports may be made to a line manager, a senior leader, or through internal safeguarding procedures. All concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion.

We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith. Anonymous reporting is accepted where permitted by law, and individuals are encouraged to speak up if they observe suspicious behaviour, poor living or working conditions, or evidence of coercion. Every report helps strengthen our protection systems and contributes to a safer, more ethical workplace.

When an allegation is received, Cleaner Uxbridge assesses the risk, preserves relevant evidence, and determines the most appropriate response. This may include interviews, temporary suspension of a supplier relationship, referral to external authorities where required, and welfare support for affected individuals. Our priority is always to protect people and prevent further harm.

Governance is overseen by senior management, who review compliance activity and ensure that modern slavery prevention remains embedded in daily operations. Key indicators include training completion, audit outcomes, supplier risk ratings, and the number and nature of reports received. We maintain records of actions taken so that lessons learned are reflected in future decisions and controls.

Cleaner Uxbridge will review this statement annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The annual review will consider changes in our business, emerging risks, audit findings, and the effectiveness of our reporting and remediation processes. Where necessary, we will strengthen procedures, update supplier expectations, and improve staff awareness.

Through ongoing diligence, clear accountability, and a firm commitment to ethical conduct, Cleaner Uxbridge aims to help prevent modern slavery from occurring in our business or supply chains. We believe that responsible service delivery depends on respect, vigilance, and action. This statement reflects our continued resolve to protect people, promote fair treatment, and uphold the highest standards across everything we do.
