Flat Cleaners London Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Flat Cleaners London has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. Flat Cleaners London operates as a professional cleaning company, and we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and protect the rights and dignity of all workers who contribute to our services.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Flat Cleaners London maintains a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and exploitation. We are committed to conducting our activities with integrity and in full compliance with applicable legislation relating to modern slavery and human rights. We expect the same standards from everyone who works for us or on our behalf, including employees, contractors, agency staff, and suppliers.

No form of abusive or coercive labour practice is accepted within our business. Any breach or suspected breach of this policy by any individual or organisation associated with Flat Cleaners London will be treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of contracts or working arrangements and, where appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Flat Cleaners London provides domestic and commercial cleaning services. Our workforce includes directly engaged staff and, where necessary, vetted subcontractors. Our supply chains primarily involve the sourcing of cleaning products, equipment, protective clothing, and related services such as facilities support and training. We recognise that risks of modern slavery can arise at different tiers of these supply chains and we are committed to identifying, assessing, and mitigating those risks.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We require our suppliers and business partners to operate in a way that respects human rights and complies with all labour laws. As part of our ongoing due diligence, Flat Cleaners London assesses new and existing suppliers against our ethical standards, including their approach to modern slavery and worker welfare.

We conduct risk-based supplier audits and reviews to ensure that our expectations are being met. These audits may include requests for documented policies on labour practices, evidence of right-to-work checks, information on recruitment methods, and details of any subcontracting arrangements. Where concerns are identified, we work with suppliers to address issues through corrective action plans. If a supplier is unwilling or unable to meet our standards, Flat Cleaners London may suspend or terminate the business relationship.

Employee Awareness, Training, and Responsibilities

We are committed to ensuring that our management team and relevant staff understand the risks of modern slavery and the part they play in preventing it. Training and guidance are provided to help employees recognise indicators of exploitation, understand how to raise concerns, and appreciate the significance of responsible procurement and recruitment practices.

All managers are responsible for promoting a culture of openness and respect, ensuring that recruitment is fair and transparent, and that no worker is charged recruitment fees, coerced into work, or subjected to threats or intimidation. Right-to-work checks are carried out in line with legal requirements, and all workers are engaged on terms that are freely agreed, with clear information about pay, hours, and conditions.

Reporting Channels and Protection

Flat Cleaners London encourages anyone who has concerns about potential modern slavery, whether within our business or in our supply chains, to speak up without delay. Concerns can be raised with line managers, senior management, or through any internal reporting channel made available for ethical or workforce issues.

We will investigate all reports promptly, sensitively, and, where possible, confidentially. Individuals who raise concerns in good faith will not suffer any form of retaliation, victimisation, or disadvantage as a result of speaking up. Where necessary, we will involve appropriate external authorities and cooperate fully with any investigations into potential modern slavery or exploitation.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Flat Cleaners London recognises that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility that requires continuous attention and improvement. We regularly review our policies, procedures, and risk assessments to ensure they remain effective and proportionate to the nature of our business and supply chains.

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed and updated annually, or sooner if there are significant changes in our operations or in legislation. The review will consider the effectiveness of our controls, any incidents or concerns raised, the outcomes of supplier audits, and feedback from stakeholders. By doing so, Flat Cleaners London aims to strengthen our approach year on year and contribute to the wider effort to eradicate modern slavery.

This Statement has been approved by the leadership of Flat Cleaners London, who are responsible for its implementation and for ensuring that our commitment to ethical and lawful working practices is put into action throughout our organisation and supply chains.
