Carpet Cleaning TW1 Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Carpet Cleaning TW1 has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking from occurring within our business operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards and to respect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all individuals who contribute to our services.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Carpet Cleaning TW1 has a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, child labour, and any other exploitation of vulnerable persons. We are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships, and to implementing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery does not take place anywhere within our organisation or the supply chains on which we rely.

All employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to uphold this commitment. Any behaviour that is inconsistent with our zero-tolerance stance is treated as a serious violation of our standards and may result in the termination of working relationships, subject to applicable laws and contractual arrangements.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Carpet Cleaning TW1 provides professional carpet and soft furnishing cleaning services. Our key suppliers include providers of cleaning products, machinery and equipment, workwear and consumables, as well as service providers such as facilities, logistics, and maintenance contractors. We recognise that modern slavery risks can exist at any point within these supply chains, including in manufacturing, distribution, and ancillary services.

We seek to work with suppliers who share our values and can demonstrate a genuine commitment to ethical labour practices, fair treatment of workers, and compliance with applicable employment and human rights legislation.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Carpet Cleaning TW1 carries out due diligence on key suppliers before entering into or renewing contractual relationships. This may include requesting information on their policies, labour practices, and compliance mechanisms related to modern slavery and human rights. Suppliers may be asked to confirm that they do not engage in, or tolerate within their own supply chains, any form of forced, bonded or compulsory labour, child labour, or human trafficking.

We reserve the right to conduct or commission supplier audits, which may involve reviewing documentation, requesting written confirmations, or, where proportionate and feasible, visiting supplier premises. Where risks are identified, we will engage with the supplier to seek improvements through corrective action plans. Where a supplier is unwilling or unable to address substantiated concerns, Carpet Cleaning TW1 may reconsider the relationship and, where appropriate, end the engagement.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

Carpet Cleaning TW1 encourages all employees, workers within our supply chains, and other stakeholders to raise concerns about potential modern slavery or human rights abuses without fear of retaliation. Concerns can be raised with a line manager, a senior manager, or another appropriate point of contact within the business. Reports may be made verbally or in writing, and we will treat all concerns seriously and sensitively.

Any allegation relating to modern slavery will be promptly assessed. Where appropriate, we will investigate the matter, seek further information, and take proportionate action in line with our policies and legal obligations. This may include engaging with suppliers, supporting affected individuals in accessing appropriate assistance, and escalating matters to relevant authorities where required.

Training and Awareness

We aim to ensure that relevant managers and staff understand the signs of modern slavery and know how to respond to concerns. Awareness is promoted through internal communications and guidance on ethical conduct, responsible procurement, and the importance of speaking up. We keep our approach under regular review to reflect changes in legislation, best practice, and risk assessments.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least annually by the leadership of Carpet Cleaning TW1 to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with our operational realities. As part of the review, we consider feedback from employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders, as well as changes in legal requirements and industry expectations.

We are committed to continuous improvement in our efforts to identify, mitigate, and prevent modern slavery risks. Over time, we aim to strengthen our due diligence processes, enhance supplier engagement, and further develop training and reporting mechanisms. By doing so, Carpet Cleaning TW1 seeks to contribute to a supply chain and working environment where human dignity and lawful, fair employment are fully respected.

This statement reflects the position of Carpet Cleaning TW1 for the current financial year and will be updated as needed to reflect our ongoing actions and commitments.
