Modern Slavery Statement for End of Tenancy Cleans
At End of Tenancy Cleans, we are committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that cleaning services, like many service sectors, can be vulnerable to exploitation, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery. Our approach is rooted in prevention, vigilance, and accountability, ensuring that our end of tenancy cleaning activities are delivered in a lawful and fair manner.
We are fully committed to complying with all applicable labour laws and ethical trading principles. Our internal policies require managers and staff to act with integrity, treat workers fairly, and remain alert to warning signs such as withheld wages, excessive working hours, or restricted freedom of movement. Whether we are delivering end-of-tenancy cleaning services directly or working with external partners, we expect the same high standards from everyone involved in our business.
We also recognise that transparency is essential. This statement is reviewed to ensure it remains relevant to our company structure, the nature of our services, and the risks associated with the cleaning industry. By maintaining clear standards and monitoring our suppliers, we aim to reduce the possibility of exploitation and strengthen the ethical foundations of our end of tenancy clean operations.
Our supplier management process plays a central role in preventing modern slavery. Before engaging a supplier, we assess their business practices, labour standards, and willingness to comply with our expectations. Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits and request evidence of lawful employment practices, including right-to-work checks, wage compliance, and safe working conditions. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and may suspend or end the relationship if corrective action is not taken.
In addition to audits, we require suppliers to confirm that they do not use forced labour, servitude, or trafficked labour in any part of their operations. We expect them to extend these requirements to their own subcontractors and labour providers. This is particularly important in end of tenancy cleaning services, where temporary staffing arrangements and subcontracting can increase risk if not properly managed.
Our staff receive guidance on identifying indicators of exploitation and on the steps to take if something does not seem right. We encourage a culture in which concerns are taken seriously and reported without delay. This helps us protect workers, uphold our standards, and ensure our modern slavery controls remain effective across the business.
We provide multiple reporting channels so that employees, contractors, and suppliers can raise concerns safely and confidentially. Reports may relate to suspected exploitation, unethical recruitment, unsafe treatment of workers, or any breach of our zero-tolerance policy. Concerns are reviewed promptly by responsible management, and where needed, appropriate remedial action is taken. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Our reporting approach is designed to support openness and to encourage early intervention before issues escalate.
To reinforce accountability, we maintain records of any concerns raised, investigations carried out, and actions taken. This enables us to identify recurring risks and improve our processes over time. It also helps ensure that our end of tenancy cleans business continues to operate with respect for ethical standards and worker welfare.
This statement is reviewed annually by management to assess its effectiveness and to reflect changes in legislation, business activity, and supplier risk. The annual review includes an evaluation of our policies, audits, reporting outcomes, and training needs. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures accordingly. Our commitment is ongoing: we will continue to strengthen our safeguards and ensure that every end of tenancy cleaning service is delivered without complicity in modern slavery.
