Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps Deep Cleaning Westminster has taken, and continues to take, to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in our business operations or within our supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to act ethically and uphold the highest standards of integrity in all our relationships.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

Deep Cleaning Westminster has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and all forms of exploitation. We are committed to conducting our business in a manner that respects human rights and protects vulnerable individuals. This commitment applies to all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers engaged with our company.

All managers and team leaders are responsible for promoting this policy and ensuring that it is communicated, understood, and observed throughout the organisation. Any action or behaviour that is inconsistent with our zero-tolerance stance will be treated as a serious violation and may lead to disciplinary action or termination of contracts where appropriate.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Deep Cleaning Westminster provides professional deep cleaning services across Westminster and surrounding areas. Our operations rely on a network of suppliers and subcontractors that may provide cleaning products, equipment, uniforms, facilities services, and labour support. We recognise that the risk of modern slavery can exist at any point in these supply chains and we are committed to identifying, assessing, and reducing these risks.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and subcontractors to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery. As part of our onboarding process, suppliers are required to confirm that they comply with all relevant legislation relating to modern slavery and human trafficking and that they implement appropriate controls within their own operations and supply networks.

We carry out proportionate due diligence and supplier audits based on risk. These audits may include requests for evidence of employment practices, right to work checks, wage payment records, and policies relating to recruitment, labour agencies, and worker welfare. Where concerns are identified, we will work with the supplier to implement corrective actions within a defined timescale. Persistent non-compliance or refusal to cooperate may result in the termination of our commercial relationship.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to raising awareness among our employees about the signs of modern slavery and their role in helping to prevent it. Relevant staff receive training on identifying risks, understanding the indicators of exploitation, and using our reporting channels. This helps ensure that concerns are recognised early and that appropriate action can be taken promptly.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Deep Cleaning Westminster encourages all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers to report any suspicion or concern relating to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Concerns can be raised with line managers or senior management, or through our internal whistleblowing arrangements, without fear of retaliation or detriment.

All reports are treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly. Where appropriate, we will involve relevant external authorities and cooperate fully with any official investigations. We are committed to protecting anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We acknowledge that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing process that requires vigilance and continuous improvement. Deep Cleaning Westminster regularly reviews its policies, supplier due diligence, training programmes, and reporting mechanisms to strengthen our approach and respond to evolving risks.

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is reviewed annually by senior management to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. Updates may be made more frequently if there are significant changes to our business operations, supply chains, or the regulatory environment.

By publishing this statement, Deep Cleaning Westminster reaffirms its commitment to operating responsibly and ethically, promoting respect for human rights, and working actively to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business.
