Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Brompton
Cleaner Brompton is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach to preventing forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and exploitative working practices across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any activity that breaches these principles. Our commitment applies to every part of the business, including procurement, subcontracted services, and day-to-day operations.
As a responsible cleaning provider, Cleaner Brompton expects the same ethical standards from all employees, contractors, and suppliers. We aim to build relationships based on fairness, accountability, and due diligence. To support this, we require workers to be treated lawfully, paid appropriately, and allowed to work freely without coercion. Our modern slavery commitment is reviewed internally to ensure it remains effective, practical, and aligned with current legislation and best practice.
We understand that risks may exist in labour-intensive sectors and in supply chains where materials, equipment, or outsourced services are sourced from multiple levels. For this reason, Cleaner Brompton carries out supplier audits and checks to identify warning signs such as excessive recruitment fees, document retention, unusual working hours, or restricted movement of workers. Where risk is identified, we investigate promptly and require corrective action, up to and including termination of the relationship if concerns are not resolved.
Our procurement process includes proportionate screening of new suppliers and ongoing monitoring of existing partners. Suppliers are expected to confirm compliance with labour laws, ethical recruitment standards, and safeguarding expectations. We may request evidence of pay records, right-to-work checks, training documentation, and subcontractor controls. Cleaner Brompton’s modern slavery policy also requires managers to remain alert to indicators of exploitation during site visits, contract delivery, and recruitment activities.
We encourage a culture where concerns can be raised early and without fear. Reporting channels are available for employees, temporary staff, and supply chain partners who suspect unethical conduct. Concerns may be raised through line management, senior leadership, or internal whistleblowing routes, and all reports are handled sensitively and confidentially. We make it clear that retaliation will not be tolerated against anyone who reports a genuine concern in good faith.
When a report is received, Cleaner Brompton follows a structured response. This may include fact-finding, safeguarding measures, escalation to senior management, and communication with relevant suppliers. If an allegation is substantiated, we will act swiftly to protect affected individuals and prevent recurrence. Our aim is not only to respond to incidents, but also to strengthen controls across the Cleaner Brompton supply chain so that risks are reduced over time.
Training is an important part of our prevention strategy. Relevant staff receive guidance on identifying modern slavery indicators, understanding their responsibilities, and applying ethical procurement principles. Managers are expected to lead by example and reinforce a workplace culture that respects dignity, lawful employment, and safe conditions. Through regular awareness efforts, we seek to ensure that our Cleaner Brompton modern slavery approach remains embedded in everyday decision-making.
This statement will be subject to an annual review to reflect changes in legal requirements, business operations, and supply chain risk. Each review considers the effectiveness of supplier audits, the use of reporting channels, any incidents raised, and the quality of remedial action taken. Where improvements are needed, Cleaner Brompton will update policies, strengthen controls, and refresh training to ensure continuous progress.
Cleaner Brompton remains fully committed to preventing modern slavery in all its forms. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, undertaking supplier audits, providing clear reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to uphold ethical standards throughout our work. We believe that responsible business practice is essential to protecting people, maintaining trust, and ensuring that every person connected to our operations is treated with dignity and respect.
