Cleaner Mayfair Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Cleaner Mayfair takes to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. As a professional cleaning services provider, we recognise our responsibility to uphold and promote human rights, fair working conditions, and ethical business practices in every area of our business.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Cleaner Mayfair operates a clear zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to acting ethically, with integrity and transparency in all business dealings, and to putting effective systems and controls in place to safeguard against any form of exploitation.

Modern slavery is a severe violation of fundamental human rights. We will not knowingly engage with any individual, contractor, or organisation involved in modern slavery practices. Any confirmed breach of this policy by an employee, supplier, or partner may result in disciplinary action, termination of contract, or referral to relevant authorities.

Our Business and Risk Awareness

Cleaner Mayfair provides commercial and residential cleaning services. We use a combination of directly employed staff and carefully selected suppliers and subcontractors for specialist services and products. We recognise that parts of the cleaning and facilities management sector may be vulnerable to exploitation, particularly in lower-paid and temporary roles, and we are proactive in mitigating these risks.

We continuously assess areas of potential risk, including recruitment practices, the use of subcontracted labour, and sourcing of cleaning materials and equipment. Our focus is on ensuring that people working within our operations are employed freely, are paid fairly, and work in safe and lawful conditions.

Suppliers, Due Diligence, and Audits

We expect all suppliers and partners to share our commitment to preventing modern slavery. As part of our supplier onboarding and ongoing management, we undertake proportionate due diligence designed to identify and mitigate modern slavery risks.

Our approach includes:

Requiring suppliers to confirm compliance with applicable labour and human rights laws and with our zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery.

Reviewing information on labour practices, including the use of subcontractors, recruitment agencies, and migrant or temporary workers.

Conducting periodic audits and assessments of higher-risk suppliers and labour providers. These audits may include document reviews, site visits where appropriate, and structured discussions regarding working conditions, pay, and worker protections.

Where concerns are identified, we work with suppliers to implement corrective actions. If issues are not resolved or if serious breaches are identified, we will consider suspending or terminating the relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers to report any concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices at the earliest opportunity. Individuals may report concerns through established internal channels, including line managers or senior management, or via our whistleblowing procedure.

All reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly and sensitively. We do not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. Where appropriate, we may refer matters to external authorities and cooperate fully with any investigations.

Training, Awareness, and Continuous Improvement

Cleaner Mayfair is committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks and to ensuring that key personnel understand their responsibilities. Relevant staff, particularly those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management, receive guidance on identifying potential warning signs and the steps to take if they have concerns.

We review and strengthen our procedures on an ongoing basis, incorporating lessons learned from audits, reports, and industry best practice. Our aim is to foster a culture in which respect for human rights is integral to how we operate.

Annual Review and Governance

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually by Cleaner Mayfair senior management. The review considers changes in legislation, industry standards, risk assessments, and feedback from employees and suppliers. Where necessary, we update our policies, procedures, and training programmes to ensure they remain effective and proportionate.

The approved statement is made available to employees, clients, and suppliers, and reflects our ongoing commitment to identifying, preventing, and addressing any risks of modern slavery in our business and supply chains.
