Modern Slavery Statement for Brent Cleaner

Brent Cleaner is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and child exploitation in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that every Brent Cleaner service must be delivered ethically, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery.

Our Commitment

As a responsible cleaning provider, Brent Cleaner expects the same ethical standards from employees, contractors, and suppliers. We require all parties to act lawfully, treat workers with dignity, and provide safe working conditions. Our approach is based on risk awareness, due diligence, and ongoing monitoring. The Brent Cleaner modern slavery statement is embedded in our procurement and operational decisions so that ethical practice remains central to the business.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

We do not accept any arrangement that involves coercion, withheld wages, passport retention, debt bondage, or any other exploitative practice. Any concern involving modern slavery is investigated promptly and may result in termination of a contract or business relationship. This zero-tolerance policy applies equally to direct staff and to third parties acting on behalf of Brent Cleaner.

To strengthen compliance, Brent Cleaner carries out supplier audits and reviews of high-risk partners. These audits may include document checks, labour practice assessments, site visits, and verification of recruitment methods. We seek evidence that suppliers comply with employment law, pay requirements, and safe working practices. Where gaps are identified, we request corrective action and monitor progress closely.

Our procurement decisions consider risk factors such as country of origin, labour intensity, subcontracting, and use of migrant or temporary workers. Suppliers are expected to confirm that they do not use forced labour and that they apply robust controls throughout their own supply chains. The Brent Cleaner supply chain is reviewed regularly to reduce vulnerability and improve transparency.

Reporting Channels

We encourage all workers, contractors, and suppliers to report concerns without fear of retaliation. Reporting channels are designed to be accessible, confidential, and taken seriously. Any allegation relating to modern slavery at Brent Cleaner or within the supply chain is escalated for review, recorded, and investigated in line with internal procedures. We support a culture where raising concerns is viewed as a safeguard, not a risk.

Training is provided to relevant staff so they can identify warning signs such as restricted movement, poor accommodation, unusual control by another person, or inconsistent employment records. Managers involved in recruitment, purchasing, and supplier management are expected to act on concerns immediately. This helps ensure that the Brent Cleaner anti-slavery approach remains practical and effective.

Where incidents are confirmed, we take appropriate action, which may include contract suspension, remediation measures, reporting to authorities, or ending the relationship entirely. We also work to prevent recurrence by improving controls and reviewing root causes. The objective of this Brent Cleaner statement is not only compliance, but continuous improvement in ethical sourcing and employment standards.

Annual Review

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and business practices. The annual review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, training needs, and any changes in risk exposure. Updates are made where necessary so that the Brent Cleaner modern slavery statement reflects real-world conditions and ongoing commitments.

By maintaining clear standards, vigilant supplier audits, reliable reporting channels, and an annual review process, Brent Cleaner reinforces its determination to prevent exploitation in every part of its business. We believe that ethical service delivery and respect for human rights are essential to responsible growth, and we remain committed to upholding these principles in all that we do.
