Modern Slavery Commitment at Carpet Cleaners Haringey

Carpet Cleaners Haringey is committed to conducting all aspects of its business in an ethical and responsible manner. This Modern Slavery Statement outlines our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect human rights and to ensure that our cleaning services are delivered without exploitation of any kind.

This statement covers our activities in the current financial year and will be reviewed, updated, and republished annually to reflect our ongoing efforts and improvements.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

Carpet Cleaners Haringey has a clear zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour. We do not accept any form of exploitation in our business or from those with whom we do business. All managers, employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to act with integrity and to comply with applicable labour and human rights legislation.

Any breach or suspected breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter. For employees, this may result in disciplinary action, which can include termination of employment. For suppliers and contractors, violations may lead to suspension of work, termination of contracts, or removal from our approved supplier list.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Carpet Cleaners Haringey provides professional carpet and upholstery cleaning services to residential and commercial customers. Our supply chain includes providers of cleaning products and chemicals, equipment manufacturers and distributors, uniform and consumables suppliers, and certain subcontracted labour and specialist services when required.

We recognise that risks can arise in areas such as outsourced services, temporary labour, and the manufacture of goods used in our operations. We are committed to identifying, assessing, and reducing these risks through robust due diligence and ongoing monitoring.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We assess new and existing suppliers to ensure their practices align with our values and legal obligations. Before onboarding, suppliers are required to confirm that they do not engage in modern slavery or human trafficking and that they comply with relevant labour laws within their own operations and supply chains.

Carpet Cleaners Haringey conducts risk-based supplier audits and reviews. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to more frequent checks, including requests for evidence of right-to-work procedures, employment contracts, pay practices, and health and safety standards. Where appropriate, we may visit supplier premises to verify working conditions, speak with workers, and review documentation.

If a supplier is unable or unwilling to demonstrate compliance with our modern slavery expectations, we will work with them to implement corrective actions within a reasonable timeframe or, where necessary, discontinue the relationship.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels

We provide training and guidance to relevant staff so they can recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand how to respond. This includes managers, supervisors, and team members involved in recruitment, subcontracting, and procurement decisions.

Carpet Cleaners Haringey encourages all employees, subcontractors, and business partners to raise concerns about potential modern slavery risks or unethical practices. Concerns can be reported directly to line managers or senior management, or through internal reporting channels that allow for confidential disclosure. Reports can be made without fear of retaliation, and all concerns will be taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled sensitively.

Where appropriate, we will engage with external authorities or specialist organisations if modern slavery is suspected, ensuring that any affected individuals are protected and supported as far as we are able.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We are committed to continual improvement in our approach to identifying and addressing modern slavery risks. Each year, Carpet Cleaners Haringey reviews this statement, our policies, and our due diligence processes to assess their effectiveness and to identify opportunities for enhancement.

Our annual review considers the outcomes of supplier audits, reported concerns, training feedback, changes in legislation, and emerging best practice. Based on this review, we update our procedures, strengthen contractual requirements where necessary, and refine our training and awareness programmes.

This Modern Slavery Statement has been approved by the leadership of Carpet Cleaners Haringey and reflects our ongoing dedication to operating a business that respects and protects the rights and dignity of all people connected to our services.
