Modern Slavery Statement for Shoreditch Cleaner

Shoreditch Cleaner is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation and expect the same standard from everyone who works with or for us. Our approach is grounded in accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.

As a provider of professional cleaning services, Shoreditch Cleaner recognises that risks can arise in staffing, recruitment, subcontracting, and procurement. We therefore apply diligence when selecting suppliers, contractors, and labour providers. Our commitment to ethical practice is reflected in internal controls, staff awareness, and the consistent review of business relationships. We believe that a strong anti-slavery culture begins with clear expectations and visible leadership.

We require all employees and suppliers to act in accordance with our values and to comply with applicable laws and standards. Any indication of coercion, deceptive recruitment, debt bondage, withheld identity documents, or unsafe working conditions is treated seriously. We do not allow underage labour, illegal wage deductions, or intimidation. These principles apply across the organisation and throughout our extended supply chain.

To support this commitment, Shoreditch Cleaner carries out supplier audits and assessments on a risk-based basis. These reviews may include checking labour practices, documentation, wage arrangements, and worker safeguards. Where concerns are identified, we seek immediate corrective action and, if necessary, suspend or terminate the relationship. Our due diligence process is designed to identify vulnerabilities early and reduce the possibility of abuse entering our operations.

We also work to ensure that recruitment and onboarding practices remain fair and transparent. Workers must be free to leave employment in line with lawful notice periods, and no one should be required to pay fees that could create dependency or vulnerability. Training is provided so that managers understand the signs of exploitation and know how to respond if they suspect a breach. This helps reinforce a workplace culture based on respect and lawful conduct.

Reporting channels are available to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery, unethical behaviour, or unsafe practices. Concerns may be reported through internal management routes, and all reports are handled sensitively and without retaliation. We encourage anyone who becomes aware of a risk to speak up promptly so that action can be taken. We take all disclosures seriously and investigate them thoroughly, maintaining confidentiality wherever possible.

Shoreditch Cleaner understands that effective prevention depends on ongoing oversight. We monitor supplier performance, review key risks, and update our controls when business practices or regulatory expectations change. If we discover non-compliance, we respond proportionately but firmly, prioritising the safety and dignity of affected workers. Our commitment is not limited to policy wording; it is demonstrated through practical action and a willingness to intervene.

Responsibility for this statement rests with senior management, who oversee implementation and ensure that anti-slavery measures remain part of decision-making across the business. Managers are expected to uphold the same standards in day-to-day operations, including during tendering, procurement, and workforce planning. This shared accountability helps ensure that our Shoreditch cleaning operations remain aligned with ethical labour standards.

This statement will be reviewed annually to confirm its continued suitability and effectiveness. The annual review considers emerging risks, supplier performance, staff awareness, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. Where improvements are needed, we will strengthen our controls and update our processes accordingly. By reviewing our approach each year, Shoreditch Cleaner demonstrates its ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and protecting human rights in every part of the business.
