Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the actions taken by Deep Cleaning Shoreditch to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights, promote fair working conditions, and act with integrity in all our business relationships.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Deep Cleaning Shoreditch has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in any form. This commitment applies to all aspects of our business, including our direct employees, agency workers, contractors, and all suppliers involved in the provision of cleaning products, equipment, and related services.

We expect everyone who works for or with us to share our commitment to ethical conduct. Any suspicion, allegation, or evidence of modern slavery connected to our organisation will be treated with utmost seriousness and may result in immediate termination of contracts or business relationships, subject to applicable laws and due process.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Deep Cleaning Shoreditch provides professional deep cleaning services to commercial and residential clients. Our supply chain includes providers of cleaning chemicals, equipment, personal protective equipment, uniforms, and ancillary services such as waste management and facility support.

We understand that risks of modern slavery can arise at different tiers of the supply chain, particularly where services are labour intensive or products are sourced globally. We are committed to identifying and reducing these risks through appropriate due diligence measures and proactive engagement with suppliers.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We require our suppliers and subcontractors to operate in line with our standards on labour, health and safety, and ethical conduct. As part of our supplier management process, we reserve the right to conduct audits and request information to confirm compliance with modern slavery legislation and our internal policies.

Supplier audits may include document reviews, requests for evidence of right-to-work checks, verification of wage and working hour practices, and where appropriate, site visits. Where non-compliance or areas of concern are identified, we will work with suppliers to implement corrective actions within agreed timeframes or, if necessary, cease the business relationship.

Training, Awareness and Responsibilities

Managers and key staff members who are involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management are made aware of the risks of modern slavery and the indicators of exploitative practices. They are responsible for escalating concerns and ensuring that our zero-tolerance policy is communicated to relevant third parties.

We aim to embed a culture where employees understand that ethical conduct and respect for human rights are fundamental to the way we operate. Expectations are incorporated into internal guidance and form part of our approach to performance and supplier evaluation.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels

Deep Cleaning Shoreditch encourages all employees, workers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report any concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Concerns may include suspected exploitation, coercion, unsafe living or working conditions, or any behaviour that appears inconsistent with our values and legal obligations.

Reports can be made through internal management channels or via established whistleblowing procedures. Individuals who raise concerns in good faith will not suffer any form of retaliation or detrimental treatment as a result of speaking up. All reports will be treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, investigated promptly, and, where appropriate, escalated to relevant authorities.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that tackling modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility and that our approach must evolve with emerging risks and best practice. Deep Cleaning Shoreditch will review this Modern Slavery Statement at least once every year, or sooner if there are significant changes in our operations, legislation, or identified risks within our supply chain.

The annual review will consider the effectiveness of our due diligence processes, supplier audits, staff awareness initiatives, and reporting mechanisms. Where opportunities for improvement are identified, we will update our policies, procedures, and training to strengthen our response.

This Statement has been approved by the leadership of Deep Cleaning Shoreditch, who remain accountable for ensuring that our commitments to preventing modern slavery are fully implemented across the organisation and its supply chain.
