Modern Slavery Statement for Surrey Cleaner

Surrey Cleaner is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and responsibility. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and wider supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation. Our approach is guided by ethical decision-making, careful oversight, and a clear expectation that everyone connected with Surrey Cleaner services shares our standards.

We aim to ensure that all workers are treated fairly and that their rights are protected. As a provider of cleaning services, Surrey cleaning activities may involve temporary labour, subcontracted support, or purchased goods and materials. We understand that these arrangements can create risk if not managed properly. For that reason, our policy applies to all staff, contractors, and suppliers, and it forms part of the way we choose to operate every day.

Our commitment is supported by training, supervision, and ongoing due diligence. We encourage a culture in which concerns can be raised early and taken seriously. If any issue suggests exploitation, coercion, or unsafe working practices, it is investigated promptly and addressed without delay. The objective of Surrey Cleaner's anti-slavery approach is not only compliance, but also the promotion of dignity and fairness across all business relationships.

Supplier selection is an important part of this statement. Before working with any new supplier, we assess their ethical standards, labour practices, and willingness to follow our requirements. Supplier audits may include documentation checks, risk assessments, and, where appropriate, site reviews. We expect suppliers to maintain accurate records and to cooperate fully with reasonable requests for information relating to labour conditions, recruitment practices, and workforce protections.

We also review the origin of products and services where risk may be higher, including items sourced through complex chains. Surrey Cleaner seeks assurance that those providing materials or services do not use forced labour, child labour, or any other abusive practice. When concerns arise, we reserve the right to seek corrective action, suspend activity, or end the relationship if standards cannot be met.

In the middle of our operations, accountability matters. Managers and team leaders are expected to monitor working conditions, question unusual patterns, and keep records where appropriate. Any signs of pressure, deception, withheld wages, identity document retention, or restricted movement are treated as serious warning indicators. The phrase modern slavery at Surrey Cleaner is incompatible with our values, and we work to ensure that no part of the business contributes to such harm.

We provide clear reporting channels so that staff, contractors, and suppliers can raise concerns safely and in good faith. Reports may be made through internal management routes or via formal escalation processes, and all concerns are reviewed with discretion. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who speaks up about suspected abuse. This protection is central to building trust and ensuring that problems are identified early rather than hidden.

Where a concern is confirmed, we take proportionate action that may include investigation, training, supplier remediation, or termination of the business relationship. We also cooperate with relevant authorities when required. The principles behind Surrey Cleaner modern slavery prevention are simple: identify risk, respond quickly, and prevent recurrence. Our aim is to make sure that ethical standards are not just written down, but actively enforced across the organisation.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal and operational requirements. Each review considers changes in risk, supplier performance, internal processes, and lessons learned from incidents or audits. We update our controls where necessary and reinforce our expectations through communication and training. Through regular review, Surrey Cleaner’s modern slavery statement remains a living commitment rather than a static document, supporting responsible business conduct throughout the year.
