Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Collierswood

Cleaner Collierswood is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that even businesses providing cleaning services can face risks through labour recruitment, subcontracting, and the sourcing of goods and consumables. For that reason, Cleaner Collierswood adopts a proactive approach built on prevention, monitoring, and accountability.

Our zero-tolerance policy is central to this commitment. We do not tolerate slavery, servitude, debt bondage, deceptive recruitment practices, or any form of coercion in our workforce or among suppliers. All staff, contractors, and business partners are expected to comply with this standard. The Cleaner Collierswood policy requires that employment is voluntary, wages are paid fairly and on time, working conditions are safe, and workers retain their identity documents and freedom of movement.

We also apply clear expectations to our supply chain. Cleaner Collierswood works with suppliers who share our ethical values and who can demonstrate lawful labour practices. Before entering into or renewing a business relationship, we assess suppliers using a risk-based approach that considers geography, labour intensity, and the nature of goods or services supplied. Where risks are identified, we seek written assurances, supporting evidence, and corrective action plans where appropriate.

Supplier Oversight and Due Diligence

Supplier audits are an important part of our due diligence process. We reserve the right to audit higher-risk suppliers and request documentation relating to labour practices, right-to-work checks, payroll records, subcontracting arrangements, and worker welfare controls. These audits may be announced or unannounced, and findings are reviewed by management. If any supplier fails to meet our standards, Cleaner Collierswood may suspend orders, require remediation, or end the relationship if necessary.

Training and awareness are also essential. Relevant team members receive guidance on identifying warning signs such as excessive recruitment fees, restricted movement, withheld wages, intimidation, or unusually controlled accommodation arrangements. Through this training, the Cleaner Collierswood team is better equipped to recognise and escalate concerns early. We aim to ensure that our everyday purchasing and operational decisions support ethical labour practices and do not contribute to exploitation.

Reporting, Investigation, and Protection

We encourage all employees and contractors to report any concern related to modern slavery, whether it involves our own operations or a supplier relationship. Reporting channels include internal management escalation, written reporting through established workplace procedures, and confidential disclosure routes available through company governance processes. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion to protect the individual raising the concern.

Cleaner Collierswood does not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Where a report indicates a possible breach, we investigate the facts, preserve relevant records, and take appropriate action. This may include additional checks, worker interviews, supplier remediation, or referral to the relevant authorities where required. Our approach is designed to protect vulnerable individuals and reinforce our commitment to lawful and ethical conduct.

We maintain records of our risk assessments, supplier reviews, audit outcomes, corrective actions, and training activity so that progress can be tracked over time. Annual review of this statement ensures that it remains effective and reflects changes in our business, supply chain, and legal obligations. The review considers emerging risks, incident trends, and opportunities to strengthen controls. This process allows Cleaner Collierswood to improve continuously and remain vigilant against modern slavery in all its forms.

Through this statement, Cleaner Collierswood reaffirms its commitment to ethical business practices, responsible sourcing, and the dignity of every worker. By combining a zero-tolerance approach, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and an annual review, we aim to reduce risk and maintain high standards throughout our operations and supply network. Our responsibility is ongoing, and we will continue to strengthen our response to modern slavery wherever risks may arise.
