Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Camden

Cleaner Camden is committed to conducting all aspects of its operations with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and controls we apply to help prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our business and supply chain. We recognise that Cleaner Camden has a responsibility to ensure our services are delivered ethically, and that zero tolerance for exploitation must be embedded in everyday decision-making.

Our approach is founded on a clear anti-slavery policy that applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers. We expect everyone acting on behalf of Cleaner Camden to uphold lawful and fair employment practices. Any breach of this policy is treated seriously and may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, or referral to the appropriate authorities. By maintaining a firm and consistent position, the Cleaner Camden modern slavery statement reinforces that ethical conduct is not optional.

We assess risk across our operations and supply chain, focusing on areas where vulnerability may be higher, such as outsourced cleaning labour, recruitment practices, and subcontracted services. Before entering or renewing supplier relationships, we require relevant due diligence to confirm that suppliers share our values and can demonstrate compliance with labour standards. This includes checking policies, employment processes, and evidence of lawful worker verification. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action and may escalate to further review or disengagement.

Supplier Standards and Oversight

Cleaner Camden undertakes proportionate supplier audits to verify that agreed standards are being maintained in practice. These audits may include document checks, worker interviews where appropriate, and review of payroll, working hours, and recruitment records. The purpose is not only to identify possible breaches, but also to encourage continuous improvement across the supply chain. A supplier that cannot demonstrate compliance with our expectations will be placed under review and may be removed from approved status.

Our procurement process requires suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour, and that they provide safe working conditions and fair pay. We also expect suppliers to pass these standards to their own subcontractors. To support this, we include anti-slavery clauses in contractual agreements and reserve the right to request further evidence whenever necessary. These controls form an important part of the Cleaner Camden slavery prevention framework.

Reporting Concerns and Responding to Risk

We encourage anyone who becomes aware of a concern to report it immediately through our internal reporting channels. Concerns may be raised by employees, workers, suppliers, or other relevant parties through line management, senior leadership routes, or formal incident reporting procedures. Reports may be made confidentially, and all allegations are handled with sensitivity, fairness, and urgency. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and every report is assessed promptly to determine the appropriate response.

Where an issue is identified, Cleaner Camden will investigate, take protective action where needed, and work with relevant parties to address root causes. If the risk is linked to a supplier, we will require immediate remediation, enhanced monitoring, or termination of the relationship depending on the severity of the issue. Our zero-tolerance approach means that exploitative behaviour cannot be accepted, ignored, or justified on operational grounds. The protection of workers remains central to our ethical obligations.

Training and awareness are essential to maintaining an effective modern slavery and human trafficking response. Staff involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management receive guidance on recognising warning signs and escalating concerns. We aim to build confidence so that issues are identified early and addressed decisively. This helps ensure that the Cleaner Camden anti-slavery commitment is understood throughout the organisation and reflected in practical actions.

Cleaner Camden will review this statement annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and effective. The annual review will consider changes in legislation, operational structure, supplier performance, and any incidents or emerging risks. As part of that process, we will update our controls where necessary and strengthen our preventative measures. This ongoing review demonstrates that our commitment to ethical labour standards is active, measurable, and continuously improved.
