Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Bow

Cleaners Bow is committed to operating with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights across every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and all forms of exploitation. We recognise that risks can exist in service delivery, recruitment, cleaning supplies, subcontracting, and broader supply chains, and we take active steps to prevent, detect, and address them. Our approach is guided by responsible business conduct, lawful hiring practices, and clear accountability at every level.

As a provider associated with the Cleaners Bow name, we expect our people, partners, and suppliers to uphold the same principles. We require all workers to be employed voluntarily, to have the freedom to leave employment in line with the law, and to be treated with dignity and fairness. We do not permit passport withholding, wage deductions that are unlawful, excessive working hours, or any abusive disciplinary practice. These standards apply regardless of role, location, or employment status.

Our management team is responsible for implementing this statement and ensuring that modern slavery risks are identified and controlled. We provide staff with awareness training so they can recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, lack of personal control, underpayment, intimidation, or signs of coercion. Cleaners Bow modern slavery compliance is embedded into recruitment checks, onboarding, and supplier selection, helping us maintain ethical operations and safeguard vulnerable individuals.

Supplier Oversight and Audits

We apply risk-based supplier audits to review labour practices, employment records, sub-contracting arrangements, and evidence of lawful working conditions. Where appropriate, we request declarations confirming compliance with anti-slavery laws and our ethical standards. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to additional checks, including document reviews, site assessments, and corrective action plans. If any supplier is found to be non-compliant, we will require immediate remediation and may suspend or end the relationship if concerns are not resolved.

Our procurement process includes due diligence designed to prevent unethical sourcing and labour exploitation. We look for transparency in recruitment, clear wage records, and assurance that workers are engaged freely and fairly. The Cleaners Bow slavery statement also encourages responsible subcontracting, meaning suppliers must not pass on obligations without proper oversight. This layered approach helps protect workers and strengthens our supply chain integrity.

We understand that the fight against modern slavery is ongoing and requires vigilance. For that reason, we review supplier performance regularly and adapt our controls where needed. Our audits are not limited to paperwork; they also focus on lived working conditions, including rest periods, grievance procedures, and evidence of non-coercive management. By combining checks, training, and continuous monitoring, we aim to reduce risk before harm occurs.

Reporting Channels, Investigation, and Review

We encourage all workers, contractors, and suppliers to report any concern related to exploitation, unsafe practices, or suspected modern slavery. Reporting channels are available through internal management routes and confidential escalation procedures. Any concern raised will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled in a way that protects the reporter from retaliation. Cleaners Bow modern slavery policy supports openness, because early reporting is one of the most effective ways to stop abuse.

If a concern is substantiated, we will take appropriate action, which may include worker protection measures, supplier remediation, disciplinary action, or termination of a contract. We will also cooperate with relevant authorities where required. Our aim is not only to react to incidents, but to create a culture where exploitation cannot thrive. This means setting expectations clearly, reinforcing them often, and ensuring everyone understands that modern slavery has no place in our business.

This statement will be reviewed annually by senior management to assess effectiveness, update controls, and reflect changes in legislation, business structure, or risk profile. Each annual review will consider audit findings, training completion, reported concerns, and any corrective actions taken. Where improvements are identified, they will be implemented without delay. Through yearly review and active oversight, Cleaners Bow reaffirms its commitment to ethical practice, lawful employment, and the prevention of modern slavery in all forms.
