Carpet Cleaning Roehampton Modern Slavery Commitment
Carpet Cleaning Roehampton is firmly committed to operating in a responsible, ethical, and transparent manner. We recognise that modern slavery and human trafficking are serious criminal offences and gross violations of fundamental human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery in our own operations and throughout our supply chains.
This statement covers our approach to modern slavery, our expectations of employees and suppliers, and the processes we use to monitor and continually improve our practices.
Zero-Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery
We have a clear zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, debt bondage, child labour, human trafficking, and any practice that exploits individuals or deprives them of their freedom and dignity. This policy applies to everyone who works for or with Carpet Cleaning Roehampton, regardless of location, role, or contractual arrangement.
All employees, contractors, and suppliers must comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. We expect our business partners to uphold the same standards and to ensure that modern slavery is not present in any part of their own operations or supply chains.
Our Operations and Supply Chains
Carpet Cleaning Roehampton provides professional carpet and upholstery cleaning services. Our direct workforce is relatively small and operates within the United Kingdom. Our supply chains primarily involve the sourcing of cleaning products, machinery, personal protective equipment, and support services such as facilities and administration.
Although we consider our overall risk of modern slavery to be low, we acknowledge that certain sectors, regions, and tiers of supply chains can be more vulnerable. We are committed to proactively identifying and addressing potential risks and to working only with suppliers who share our ethical values.
Supplier Standards and Audit Measures
We expect all suppliers and contractors to operate ethically, in compliance with labour laws, and in alignment with our zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery. As part of our supplier management process, we:
Request confirmation from new key suppliers that they comply with relevant modern slavery and human trafficking legislation and maintain appropriate due diligence processes within their own supply chains.
Include contractual clauses or policy references that require adherence to our anti-slavery expectations and reserve the right to terminate relationships where serious or repeated non-compliance is identified.
Conduct proportionate supplier reviews and audits, focusing on higher-risk categories such as imported products or services involving low-skilled or temporary labour. These reviews may include requesting evidence of policies, employee protections, and labour standards from suppliers.
If a supplier is found to be involved in modern slavery practices or unable to demonstrate meaningful efforts to prevent them, we will take appropriate action, which may include remediation requirements, suspension of orders, or ending the business relationship.
Employee Awareness, Training, and Responsibilities
We seek to build awareness of modern slavery issues among our employees, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and supplier management. Where relevant, we provide guidance on how to recognise signs of exploitation and how to escalate concerns.
All staff are required to act with integrity, follow our policies, and cooperate fully in any investigation into suspected modern slavery. Managers are responsible for ensuring that their teams understand our standards and that working conditions remain safe, fair, and respectful.
Reporting Concerns and Protection for Whistleblowers
Carpet Cleaning Roehampton encourages anyone who has concerns relating to modern slavery, whether within our business or in our supply chains, to raise them without delay. Concerns may relate to working conditions, recruitment practices, suspected exploitation, or any behaviour that appears inconsistent with our values and this statement.
Reports can be made internally to line managers or senior management, or through any existing internal reporting procedures. We will treat all concerns seriously, handle them sensitively, and investigate where appropriate.
We will not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith or cooperates in an investigation. Individuals are encouraged to speak up even if they are unsure whether a situation amounts to modern slavery; it is always better to report than to stay silent.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
We recognise that addressing modern slavery requires ongoing vigilance and continuous improvement. Carpet Cleaning Roehampton is committed to regularly reviewing and strengthening our processes, including our risk assessments, supplier engagement, staff awareness, and reporting mechanisms.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least once every twelve months, or sooner if there are significant changes to our business, supply chains, or relevant legislation. As part of the annual review, we will assess the effectiveness of our actions, consider feedback from stakeholders, and identify further steps to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chains.
