Modern Slavery Statement for London House Cleaning

London House Cleaning is committed to operating with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights in every part of our business. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the cleaning services sector can be exposed to vulnerability through subcontracting, recruitment practices, and temporary work arrangements, so we apply a clear and proactive approach to safeguarding workers.

Our London house cleaning standards are built on a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and all related abusive practices. This applies to our employees, agency workers, subcontractors, and suppliers. We expect everyone associated with our business to treat workers fairly, respect legal working conditions, and uphold ethical employment practices. Any breach of these expectations is treated seriously and may result in suspension of work, contract termination, or escalation to the appropriate authorities.

We carry out due diligence when selecting and retaining suppliers, with particular attention to labour sourcing, wage practices, identity checks, and the right to work. Our supplier audits are designed to identify risks in recruitment chains, worker accommodation, payment systems, and subcontracting arrangements. Where concerns are identified, we require corrective action plans and follow-up checks. If a supplier fails to improve, we will end the relationship rather than compromise our standards.

In addition to audits, we use risk assessments to monitor the services and regions most likely to present higher exposure to exploitation. The modern slavery risk profile for any house cleaning in London activity is reviewed by considering workforce turnover, use of migrant labour, short-notice staffing, and the complexity of the service chain. We also work to ensure that labour providers share our expectations on fair pay, lawful working hours, and voluntary employment. These measures help us strengthen prevention before problems arise.

Reporting and speaking up are essential to our controls. Any employee, supplier, or worker who suspects exploitation can raise concerns through internal reporting channels without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made confidentially, and all concerns are assessed promptly, sensitively, and in line with safeguarding principles. We encourage early reporting because modern slavery risks are often hidden, and a London House Cleaning response depends on trust, vigilance, and swift action.

Training is provided to relevant staff so they can recognise warning signs such as document retention, unusual dependency on a supervisor, excessive deductions, restricted movement, or coercion. Managers responsible for procurement and workforce planning receive additional guidance on ethical recruitment and supplier oversight. This helps ensure that our house cleaning services are delivered responsibly and that our business decisions do not unintentionally support exploitative practices.

We also expect our suppliers to maintain accurate records and cooperate fully during reviews. Where risk indicators appear, we may request evidence of payroll compliance, worker contracts, subcontractor lists, and recruitment documentation. Our supplier audits are not limited to paperwork; they may include site visits, interviews, and verification of working arrangements. This approach supports a practical and consistent modern slavery statement that reflects real oversight rather than simple policy wording.

Our commitment is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure it remains effective and aligned with legal developments, operational changes, and emerging risk areas. The annual review examines audit results, reported concerns, supplier performance, training completion, and any corrective actions taken during the year. This process allows London House Cleaning to improve its controls continuously and reinforce our zero-tolerance stance across all areas of activity.

As part of that review, we also consider how well our reporting channels are understood and whether staff and partners feel confident using them. If improvements are needed, we update procedures, strengthen communication, and refresh training so that expectations remain clear. London House Cleaning will continue to promote fair treatment, lawful employment, and ethical procurement in every London cleaning arrangement we manage.
