Deep Cleaning Fulham Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Deep Cleaning Fulham and sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address modern slavery and human trafficking risks within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that the cleaning and facilities sector can be vulnerable to labour exploitation, and we are committed to ensuring that every aspect of our business is conducted ethically and in full respect of human rights.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

Deep Cleaning Fulham has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation. This commitment applies to our own workforce and to any individual or organisation that supplies goods or services to us. We will not knowingly enter into or maintain a relationship with any party involved in modern slavery or related abuses, and we reserve the right to terminate contracts where credible concerns arise.

All team members are expected to uphold this policy, and managers have a particular responsibility to ensure that recruitment, working conditions, and day-to-day management practices protect the dignity and safety of workers.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Deep Cleaning Fulham provides professional cleaning and related services to residential and commercial clients. Our supply chains include providers of cleaning products, equipment, workwear, and labour services. We recognise that modern slavery risks can arise through subcontracting, temporary labour, and overseas manufacturing of goods used in our services.

We are committed to working only with reputable suppliers that share our values and demonstrate a clear commitment to ethical labour standards, fair pay, and safe working conditions.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and contractors to comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. Our supplier standards require:

That work is freely chosen and workers are not coerced or forced into employment.

That no worker is subjected to debt bondage, withholding of identity documents, or restrictions on freedom of movement.

That child labour is not used and that young workers are protected from hazardous work.

That working hours, wages, and benefits meet or exceed legal requirements and industry standards.

To verify these standards, we conduct proportionate checks on new suppliers and review existing relationships where risks are identified. This may include requesting information on recruitment practices, conducting site visits where practical, and seeking assurance on labour standards. Where concerns are identified, we will work with suppliers on corrective actions or, where this is not possible or effective, end the relationship.

Reporting Concerns and Protection

Deep Cleaning Fulham encourages anyone connected with our business, including employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers, to speak up if they suspect modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports can be made to a manager or a senior member of our leadership team. Concerns will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled sensitively.

We will not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. Where appropriate, we will cooperate with law enforcement and relevant authorities to ensure that victims are protected and that perpetrators are held accountable.

Training, Awareness, and Continuous Improvement

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery among our staff, particularly managers and those involved in procurement and recruitment. Training and guidance are provided so that colleagues can recognise indicators of exploitation and know how to respond.

We also seek to improve our processes over time, learning from best practice in our industry and from engagement with suppliers and workers. This includes strengthening due diligence, refining supplier selection criteria, and enhancing our internal controls.

Monitoring and Annual Review

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and industry expectations. As part of this review, we assess the effectiveness of our measures, consider any reported incidents or emerging risks, and update our approach where necessary.

The updated statement is approved by senior management and made available to stakeholders to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to combating modern slavery and protecting the rights and wellbeing of all workers connected to Deep Cleaning Fulham.
