Modern Slavery Statement for Tenancy Cleaning
Tenancy Cleaning is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and across our supply chains. Our tenancy cleaning services rely on people, trust, and safe working practices, so we recognise a clear duty to protect workers and uphold dignity in every part of our business.
We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery. This applies to our employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in termination of business relationships, disciplinary action, or referral to the relevant authorities where appropriate. We expect everyone involved in tenancy cleaning operations to act lawfully and transparently.
To reduce the risk of exploitation, we carry out risk-based supplier due diligence before onboarding new vendors and periodically thereafter. This includes checking ownership structures, labour practices, and the use of subcontractors. We favour suppliers that can demonstrate fair wages, lawful employment, and safe conditions. Our approach to tenancy cleaning procurement is designed to identify risks early and promote ethical standards throughout the supply chain.
Supplier audits are a core part of our controls. Where the risk profile is higher, we may request evidence of worker contracts, payroll records, recruitment processes, and right-to-work checks. Audits may be desk-based or onsite, depending on the nature of the service. If concerns are identified, we will require corrective action plans and monitor progress. Repeated failure to improve may lead to suspension or removal from our approved supplier list. This helps ensure that our tenancy cleaning suppliers meet the expectations of our business and clients.
We also maintain internal procedures to support ethical recruitment and fair treatment of workers. Staff involved in hiring or supplier management receive guidance on recognising indicators of modern slavery, such as restricted movement, withholding of documents, debt bondage, or signs of coercion. In addition, we encourage open communication so that concerns can be raised quickly and dealt with sensitively. Our commitment to ethical tenancy cleaning means we aim to prevent harm before it occurs.
Reporting channels are available for employees, contractors, and suppliers who wish to raise concerns in confidence. Reports can be made to line managers, senior leadership, or through our internal escalation process. All concerns are taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with discretion. No one will suffer retaliation for speaking up in good faith. These reporting arrangements support our wider commitment to responsible tenancy cleaning and create a safer environment for everyone involved.
Where a concern suggests modern slavery may be present, we will act immediately. This may include safeguarding affected individuals, suspending work with the relevant supplier, preserving evidence, and engaging specialist support where required. We work to ensure that any response is lawful, proportionate, and centred on the welfare of those at risk. Our modern slavery prevention approach is grounded in accountability and continuous improvement.
We review this statement and our related controls annually to ensure they remain effective, current, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The review considers any incidents, audit findings, training outcomes, and changes in the risk profile of our operations or suppliers. Action plans are updated following each review so that improvements are tracked and completed. This annual process strengthens our tenancy cleaning compliance framework.
Tenancy Cleaning expects all employees and suppliers to share responsibility for maintaining an ethical workplace. By enforcing a zero-tolerance policy, conducting supplier audits, maintaining clear reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to keep modern slavery risks as low as possible. We will continue to improve our procedures and uphold the highest standards across every part of our tenancy cleaning business.
