Deep Cleaning Wimbledon Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the approach taken by Deep Cleaning Wimbledon to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. As a provider of professional cleaning services, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and to ensure that the people who work for and with us are treated with dignity, fairness, and respect.
Our Zero-Tolerance Approach
Deep Cleaning Wimbledon has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation involved in such practices and we expect the same high standards from all those with whom we work. This commitment applies to our employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers at every level of our operations.
We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships. We require that work is always voluntary, that workers are free to leave employment in line with applicable laws and contracts, and that no individual is subject to threats, coercion, or deception in relation to their work.
Our People and Working Practices
Deep Cleaning Wimbledon strives to create a safe, fair, and inclusive workplace. All recruitment is carried out in compliance with relevant employment and immigration laws. We verify the identity and right to work of all employees and do not charge recruitment fees. We are committed to fair pay, lawful working hours, and transparent terms and conditions.
Managers receive guidance on recognising indicators of modern slavery and on appropriate steps to take where concerns arise. We promote an open culture where questions about working conditions can be raised without fear of victimisation or retaliation.
Our Supply Chain and Supplier Audits
Our supply chain primarily consists of providers of cleaning products, equipment, workwear, and related services. We expect all suppliers and contractors to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery and to comply with all relevant legislation and industry standards.
Before entering or renewing significant supplier relationships, we undertake proportionate due diligence that may include assessing labour practices, reviewing policies, and considering the supplier’s own modern slavery measures. Where appropriate, we conduct audits or request evidence to verify that suppliers operate ethically and lawfully.
If a supplier is found to be involved in or complicit with modern slavery or human trafficking, we will take immediate and appropriate action, which may include requiring corrective measures, suspending the relationship, or terminating the contract.
Reporting Concerns and Speak-Up Channels
Deep Cleaning Wimbledon encourages all employees, workers, and suppliers to report any concerns or suspicions regarding modern slavery, human trafficking, or unethical labour practices. Concerns can be raised directly with line managers, senior management, or designated contacts within the business.
Reports may be made confidentially, and all concerns will be taken seriously and investigated promptly. We will not tolerate any form of retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. Where appropriate, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and take remedial action to protect affected individuals.
Continuous Improvement and Training
We are committed to continuous improvement in our efforts to combat modern slavery. We keep our procedures under review and seek opportunities to strengthen our due diligence and monitoring processes. Where relevant, employees are provided with information to help them understand modern slavery risks and to recognise potential warning signs in the workplace and supply chain.
Annual Review and Approval
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and best practice. As part of the review, we consider any incidents reported, outcomes of supplier audits, changes within our operations, and developments in guidance on tackling modern slavery.
The updated statement is approved at a senior level within Deep Cleaning Wimbledon and made available to employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders. By maintaining this ongoing review and commitment, Deep Cleaning Wimbledon aims to play a responsible role in eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking from its business and supply chains.
