Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Kingston

Cleaner Kingston is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to uphold ethical standards, protect workers, and promote fair treatment throughout our workforce and supply chain. Our approach is based on a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, servitude, bonded labour, child exploitation, and any other form of abuse that may deprive a person of freedom or dignity.

We recognise that the cleaning and facilities sector can involve complex labour arrangements, temporary work, and multiple service partners. Because of this, Cleaner Kingston takes a proactive stance to identify, assess, and reduce risks. We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to respect human rights and comply with applicable labour laws. This commitment is embedded in our procurement practices, employment standards, and ongoing management processes.

Our Commitment and Governance

Modern slavery prevention is overseen by senior management, who are responsible for reviewing policies, monitoring risk, and ensuring corrective action where concerns arise. We maintain clear internal controls so that any signs of exploitation are treated seriously and escalated without delay. The company’s Cleaner Kingston anti-slavery policy is reviewed regularly and applies to all business activities, including outsourced services and third-party labour arrangements.

We expect our suppliers to share our ethical standards. As part of our Cleaner Kingston modern slavery statement commitments, supplier due diligence includes risk screening, contract clauses on labour rights, and documented evidence of compliance. Where the risk profile is higher, we conduct more detailed supplier audits, which may include assessment of wage records, working hours, identity documentation handling, grievance procedures, and subcontracting arrangements. If concerns are identified, suppliers must provide prompt corrective action plans.

Supply Chain Controls

Our procurement teams are trained to recognise warning signs such as unusually low labour costs, unclear employment relationships, or barriers preventing workers from speaking freely. We also seek assurances that workers are not charged recruitment fees and that passports or personal documents are not retained unlawfully. Through these measures, Cleaner Kingston aims to prevent exploitation before it occurs and to maintain trustworthy, transparent business relationships.

Reporting channels are essential to our prevention framework. Employees and contractors are encouraged to raise concerns about suspected exploitation, unsafe practices, or policy breaches using internal reporting routes. Reports may be made confidentially and are handled with sensitivity, fairness, and urgency. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. This protection helps ensure that the Cleaner Kingston slavery prevention policy remains practical and effective.

All allegations are investigated promptly, and where modern slavery indicators are found, we will take decisive action. This may include suspending work, terminating supplier relationships, notifying relevant authorities, and supporting affected individuals where appropriate. We also maintain records of incidents, investigations, and outcomes to support learning and continuous improvement. Such actions reinforce our zero-tolerance position and demonstrate that ethical conduct is non-negotiable.

Training is provided to relevant staff so they can understand risk indicators, reporting expectations, and the importance of careful supplier oversight. We communicate our standards clearly to new starters, managers, and those involved in procurement or contract management. Cleaner Kingston believes awareness is a vital safeguard, and we continue to strengthen our processes as our business and supply base evolve.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, proportionate, and aligned with legal requirements and organisational risk. The annual review considers changes in operations, supplier performance, audit findings, incident trends, and emerging risks in the wider market. Where needed, policies and controls are updated to improve our response and strengthen accountability.

Cleaner Kingston is committed to continuous improvement in all aspects of slavery prevention. By combining a strict zero-tolerance policy, rigorous supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and an annual review cycle, we aim to protect vulnerable people and uphold the highest standards of integrity. This statement reflects our ongoing responsibility to act ethically, fairly, and decisively in the fight against modern slavery.
