Modern Slavery Statement for Carpet Cleaners Queenspark
Carpet Cleaners Queenspark is committed to conducting business ethically and responsibly. This modern slavery statement reflects our dedication to preventing exploitation in all parts of our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, servitude, and child labour. As a trusted Queenspark carpet cleaning provider, we believe that respect for human rights must underpin every commercial decision.
Our zero-tolerance policy is central to this commitment. We do not accept modern slavery, human trafficking, or any form of coerced labour in our workforce or among our suppliers. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in immediate corrective action, contract termination, or referral to relevant authorities where appropriate. This position applies to direct employees, agency workers, contractors, and all third parties engaged by Carpet Cleaners Queenspark.
We expect the same ethical standards from everyone in our supply chain. Our suppliers are assessed for compliance with labour laws, fair recruitment practices, and responsible workplace conduct. For this reason, Carpet Cleaners Queenspark uses a risk-based approach to supplier oversight, focusing on areas where vulnerability may be higher, such as outsourced services, cleaning consumables, transport, and equipment procurement. We also require suppliers to confirm that they uphold lawful employment practices and maintain proper records.
Supplier audits are an important part of our anti-slavery controls. Depending on the level of risk, audits may include document checks, labour practice reviews, and requests for evidence relating to recruitment, pay, working hours, and worker welfare. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and seek remediation where possible. Carpet Cleaners Queenspark will not continue relationships with suppliers who fail to address serious concerns or who show repeated non-compliance with our standards.
We also provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders may report suspected misconduct through internal management routes, designated supervisors, or confidential escalation procedures. Reports may relate to unsafe recruitment, withheld wages, document retention, intimidation, or other indicators of exploitation. All reports are taken seriously, handled discreetly, and reviewed without retaliation against the person raising the concern.
To strengthen awareness, our teams receive guidance on recognising warning signs of modern slavery and on responding appropriately if concerns are identified. This includes understanding unusual working patterns, signs of control over movement or documents, and situations where workers appear unable to speak freely about their employment. By maintaining vigilance, Carpet Cleaners Queenspark aims to reduce risk and reinforce a culture of ethical conduct across the business.
Our statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legislation and operational risks. The annual review considers any incidents reported, audit findings, supplier performance, and changes in the wider regulatory environment. Where improvements are needed, we update our procedures, training, and monitoring measures so that our response continues to develop.
Carpet Cleaners Queenspark recognises that combating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time exercise. We are committed to continuous improvement, responsible procurement, and transparent oversight. Through our zero-tolerance approach, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process, we aim to protect vulnerable people and uphold the highest ethical standards in all activities associated with Queenspark carpet cleaners and related services.
