Modern Slavery Statement for Deep Cleaning Wandsworth

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps that Deep Cleaning Wandsworth has taken and will continue to take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our relationships, and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery does not occur.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Deep Cleaning Wandsworth provides professional cleaning services across residential, commercial, and specialist environments. Our operations rely on a combination of directly employed staff and carefully selected suppliers and subcontractors who provide cleaning products, equipment, and ancillary services. We recognise that the cleaning sector and related supply chains can carry a heightened risk of labour exploitation, and we are determined to mitigate that risk proactively.

Zero-Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery

We maintain a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and child labour. This policy applies to all individuals working for or on behalf of Deep Cleaning Wandsworth, in any capacity. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation or individual involved in such practices, and we reserve the right to terminate relationships with any supplier, contractor, or partner found to be in breach of this commitment.

Our zero-tolerance stance is embedded in our internal policies, codes of conduct, and expectations communicated to staff and suppliers. All staff are expected to be vigilant to the signs of exploitation and to report any concerns without delay.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We understand that our responsibility extends beyond our direct workforce to our wider supply chain. Before entering into any new supplier relationship, we undertake appropriate due diligence to assess the supplier’s ethical standards, labour practices, and compliance with applicable laws on modern slavery and human rights.

Where proportionate to the risk, we conduct audits or request evidence of compliance, such as policies, training materials, and relevant certifications. We prioritise suppliers who demonstrate transparent labour practices, fair recruitment methods, and clear procedures for preventing exploitation. Existing suppliers are subject to ongoing monitoring, and we may conduct spot checks or request updated documentation to confirm continued compliance with our standards.

Contracts with key suppliers include clauses requiring adherence to anti-slavery laws and our zero-tolerance policy. Failure to meet these requirements may result in corrective action plans or, where necessary, the termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Deep Cleaning Wandsworth encourages a culture of openness and accountability. All workers, including agency staff and subcontractors, are encouraged to raise concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices at the earliest possible stage.

Concerns can be reported internally to line managers or senior management. We are committed to handling all reports sensitively, fairly, and promptly. We will not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who report concerns in good faith, even if those concerns are not substantiated after investigation.

Where appropriate, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and specialist organisations to investigate and address any credible allegations of modern slavery connected to our business or supply chain.

Training and Awareness

We provide training and guidance to relevant staff on recognising the signs of modern slavery and understanding how to respond appropriately to concerns. This includes information on high-risk situations, responsible recruitment, and the importance of verifying the legitimacy of labour providers. By increasing awareness, we aim to ensure that all colleagues understand their role in preventing exploitation.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery sits with senior management, who review our policies, risk assessments, and responses to any reported concerns. We track the effectiveness of our measures through supplier review outcomes, audit findings, and feedback from staff and stakeholders.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to reflect evolving legal requirements, industry best practice, and our own evolving risk profile. As part of the annual review, we assess the effectiveness of our due diligence processes, update training materials, and refine our supplier engagement approach where necessary.

By publishing this Statement, Deep Cleaning Wandsworth reaffirms its commitment to protecting the dignity, safety, and rights of all individuals who contribute to our services, and to working continuously to ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chain.
