Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Kensington
Cleaners Kensington is committed to operating with integrity, respect, and accountability across every part of our business. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent, detect, and address any form of forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, child labour, or exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that a zero-tolerance approach is essential to protecting people and maintaining ethical standards in the cleaning sector.
Our commitment applies to all employees, subcontractors, agency workers, and suppliers associated with Kensington cleaners services. We expect everyone acting on our behalf to uphold the same principles. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of contracts, disciplinary action, or referral to the appropriate authorities where required.
Our Policy and Responsibilities
We maintain a clear policy that prohibits any form of modern slavery in our business activities. This includes recruitment practices, working conditions, wage arrangements, and the use of labour through third parties. We ensure that workers are engaged voluntarily, understand their terms, and are never subjected to intimidation, coercion, or unlawful deductions. As part of our due diligence, Cleaners Kensington reviews employment processes and supplier conduct to reduce the risk of exploitation.
All managers have responsibility for identifying and responding to warning signs, including restricted movement, withheld documents, excessive working hours, or signs of fear and dependence. Training is provided to raise awareness of these indicators and to help staff escalate concerns promptly. We encourage a culture where ethical conduct is not only expected but actively demonstrated in daily operations.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
We understand that the greatest risks may arise within complex supply chains. For that reason, cleaning services Kensington suppliers are subject to proportionate checks before engagement and during the relationship. These checks may include reviewing company registration details, employment policies, right-to-work procedures, wage records, and evidence of lawful labour practices. Where appropriate, we request declarations confirming compliance with modern slavery laws.Supplier audits are conducted on a risk-based schedule, with higher-risk arrangements receiving more frequent review. If concerns are identified, we ask suppliers to implement corrective actions within a defined timeframe. Failure to cooperate, provide evidence, or address concerns may lead to suspension or removal from our approved supplier list. We also aim to work with partners who share our values and can demonstrate transparent labour standards.
Reporting Channels and Safeguarding Concerns
We recognise that the ability to report concerns safely is vital to preventing abuse. Any worker, manager, or supplier who suspects exploitation is encouraged to raise the issue immediately through internal reporting routes. Reports may be made confidentially and, where necessary, anonymously. All concerns are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with care to protect the individual raising the issue and any person potentially affected.We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith. Allegations are assessed by responsible management, and where an issue appears credible, we take swift action to secure evidence, support the affected person, and prevent further harm. This commitment forms part of the wider ethical standards upheld by Cleaners Kensington across all service areas.
Review and Continuous Improvement This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal expectations and operational risks. Each review considers any incidents reported, audit findings, training outcomes, and changes in supplier relationships. Where improvements are needed, we update our procedures, strengthen oversight, and refine our controls. 
We believe continuous review is essential to maintaining a robust anti-slavery framework.
