Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners W2

Cleaners W2 is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and exploitation in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines human dignity.

Our approach is guided by ethical employment principles, fair working conditions, and responsible procurement. We expect every employee, contractor, and supplier associated with Cleaners W2 to uphold these standards. Any breach of this policy may result in immediate action, including suspension of engagement, investigation, or termination of the business relationship.

We also take a proactive view of risk. Although our services are primarily labour-based, we understand that cleaning services, subcontracted labour, and sourced materials can present modern slavery risks. For this reason, we assess suppliers and partners carefully, review working arrangements, and require clear evidence that workers are treated lawfully and fairly.

Policies and Due Diligence

Our internal controls include pre-engagement checks, supplier questionnaires, and documented approval processes. We ask suppliers to confirm compliance with employment law, wage standards, and safe working practices. Where appropriate, supplier audits are carried out to verify that workers are not subject to coercion, debt bondage, withheld wages, or unsafe conditions.

These audits may include reviewing contracts, payroll records, subcontracting arrangements, identification practices, and site conditions. If concerns are identified, we require prompt corrective action. Persistent non-compliance leads to escalation, and we will end relationships with suppliers that refuse to improve or that fail to meet our standards.

Cleaners W2 also provides staff with training so they can recognise signs of exploitation and understand the importance of ethical conduct. Managers are expected to remain alert to unusual working patterns, restricted movement, intimidation, or any sign that a person may be working against their will.

Reporting and Response

We encourage anyone connected with our business to raise concerns in good faith. Our reporting channels are designed to allow employees, workers, and suppliers to report suspected modern slavery confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Concerns may be raised through line management, senior leadership, or internal reporting processes established for safeguarding and compliance.

Every report is taken seriously and reviewed promptly. Where needed, we will investigate discreetly, protect the individual involved, and cooperate with relevant authorities or specialist bodies. We prohibit victimisation of anyone who speaks up, and we expect the same respectful approach from all business partners.

Risk Management Across the Supply Chain

We recognise that the risk profile of Cleaners W2 may change as we expand, source new services, or work with different subcontractors. Accordingly, our due diligence is not static. We seek evidence of responsible recruitment, lawful right-to-work checks, clear pay practices, and transparent subcontracting to reduce exposure to exploitation.

In practice, our supplier management process is built around prevention. We prefer suppliers who can demonstrate strong governance and who share our ethical standards. If a supplier is unable to meet those expectations, we may require remediation plans, increased monitoring, or a formal review before continuing the relationship.

We also maintain records of concerns, findings, and corrective actions so that trends can be identified over time. This helps us strengthen controls, improve decision-making, and ensure that our cleaners W2 operations remain aligned with our values. Modern slavery prevention is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time commitment.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and reflective of legal and operational developments. Each annual review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, training needs, and any changes to risk within the business or supply chain. Where improvements are needed, we update our controls and reinforce our expectations.

By publishing this statement, Cleaners W2 reaffirms its commitment to ethical practice, lawful employment, and the protection of human rights. We will continue to strengthen our safeguards and work with others who share our determination to eliminate modern slavery in all its forms.
