Modern Slavery Statement for Haringey Cleaner
Haringey Cleaner is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights in every part of its business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. As a responsible Haringey cleaning company, we recognise that modern slavery can affect any sector, including facilities services, recruitment, transport, and product supply.
Our approach is guided by a clear zero-tolerance policy. We do not accept any form of exploitation, intimidation, debt bondage, child labour, or coercion. This policy applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers engaged by Haringey Cleaner. We expect the same standard from everyone who works with us, and we make our expectations clear at the start of every commercial relationship.
To reduce risk, we carry out due diligence on suppliers before entering into agreements and continue monitoring them throughout the relationship. Our supplier audits assess labour practices, recruitment methods, wage compliance, worker accommodation where relevant, and the right to work of personnel involved in delivering services. Where we identify concerns, we require corrective action, may increase oversight, or end the relationship if improvements are not made.
Haringey Cleaner also provides several reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees and workers may report suspected issues through line management, senior leadership, or established internal grievance processes. We encourage anyone with knowledge of possible abuse to speak up early, as timely reporting helps us investigate and respond effectively.
All reports are treated seriously and handled with discretion. We aim to protect individuals who raise concerns in good faith and will not tolerate victimisation, intimidation, or discrimination against whistleblowers. Where appropriate, allegations are escalated for review, and we cooperate fully with lawful enquiries. This commitment supports a culture of transparency across Haringey Cleaner modern slavery controls and wider ethical governance.
Training is an important part of prevention. Relevant staff receive awareness guidance on recognising warning signs such as restricted movement, poor living conditions, document retention, unexplained vulnerability, or unusual recruitment fees. By strengthening awareness, we help our teams identify risks in both direct operations and outsourced services connected to cleaning services in Haringey.
We recognise that the cleaning sector can involve layered supply chains, seasonal labour, and short-notice staffing needs, all of which may increase exposure to exploitation. For this reason, procurement decisions are informed by risk assessment, supplier performance reviews, and checks on labour providers. Our due diligence framework is designed to promote fair treatment, lawful employment, and responsible sourcing at every stage.
The leadership team reviews modern slavery controls regularly and expects managers to act on any concerns promptly. Where necessary, we update contractual terms, strengthen audit requirements, or introduce additional monitoring. This approach reflects our broader commitment to ethical operations and supports the values of Haringey Cleaner as a trusted local service provider.
We also encourage responsible recruitment practices, including clear role descriptions, lawful wage arrangements, and no-fee hiring for workers. Suppliers are expected to follow comparable standards and to maintain accurate records that can be checked during audits or compliance reviews. These measures help us maintain a resilient and ethical supply chain.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The annual review considers any incidents, audit findings, training outcomes, supplier changes, and improvements identified during the year. Where gaps are found, we take corrective action and strengthen our processes.
Haringey Cleaner will continue to refine its controls, challenge poor labour practices, and work only with partners who share our commitment to human dignity. Through vigilance, accountability, and consistent enforcement of our zero-tolerance policy, we aim to help prevent exploitation and support fair working conditions across our business and supply chain.
