Modern Slavery Statement for Nottinghill Cleaners

Nottinghill Cleaners is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that exploits people.

Our Commitment and Governance

As a trusted cleaning services provider, Nottinghill Cleaners expects the highest ethical standards from employees, subcontractors, and suppliers. Our leadership team oversees compliance with this policy and ensures that anti-slavery principles are embedded into recruitment, procurement, and day-to-day operations. We do not knowingly engage with any party involved in coercion, child labour, debt bondage, or other exploitative practices. Any confirmed breach may result in immediate termination of the relationship.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Our zero-tolerance policy is central to the Nottinghill Cleaners modern slavery commitment. All workers must be employed voluntarily, with fair wages and lawful working hours. We prohibit retention of identity documents, intimidation, passport withholding, and recruitment fees paid by workers. Training is provided so managers can recognise indicators of exploitation and respond quickly when concerns arise. We expect our cleaning contractor and supply partners to maintain the same standard.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

To reduce risk in our supply chain, we carry out proportionate due diligence before onboarding new suppliers. This includes checking ownership, labour practices, workforce arrangements, and country or sector risk. High-risk suppliers are subject to supplier audits, document reviews, and where appropriate, site inspections. We assess whether labour is freely chosen, pay arrangements are transparent, and subcontracting is controlled. Where weaknesses are identified, corrective action plans are required and monitored.

The Nottinghill Cleaners slavery statement also applies to our procurement decisions. We prioritise suppliers that can demonstrate ethical sourcing, lawful employment practices, and responsible management of workers. If a supplier cannot meet our standards, we will not proceed or will end the relationship. This process helps us protect both people and the reputation of our cleaning business, while encouraging continuous improvement across the supply chain.

Reporting Channels and Safeguarding

We encourage all employees, agency workers, and suppliers to report any concern relating to modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports may be raised through internal management routes or formal grievance procedures. Every concern is treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled confidentially where possible. If a risk is confirmed, we take immediate steps to safeguard affected individuals, escalate the matter to senior management, and cooperate with relevant authorities when necessary. This reinforces the integrity of our modern slavery compliance approach.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Nottinghill Cleaners reviews this statement annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and business changes. The review considers audit findings, supplier performance, training completion, incident reports, and any lessons learned from investigations. Where needed, we strengthen controls, update procedures, and refresh staff training. Our goal is continuous improvement in preventing exploitation and strengthening responsible business practices.

In summary, Nottinghill Cleaners modern slavery statement reflects our unwavering commitment to ethical conduct, worker protection, and transparent oversight. We will continue to apply due diligence, maintain strict supplier audits, support safe reporting, and uphold our zero-tolerance stance across all operations. By embedding these principles into our cleaning services and procurement processes, we aim to contribute to a workplace and supply chain free from abuse and exploitation.
