Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Hollandpark

Cleaners Hollandpark is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery and expect the same standard from every person and organisation connected with our business. Our approach is built on accountability, vigilance, and continuous improvement.

As a service provider, Cleaners Hollandpark recognises that risks may arise not only in direct employment, but also through subcontractors, recruitment practices, and the sourcing of goods and services. We therefore assess our exposure to risk regularly and take proportionate action to reduce it. This includes reviewing labour practices, supplier behaviour, and working conditions to help ensure that all workers are treated lawfully, ethically, and with dignity.

We apply this commitment across all parts of the organisation, from management oversight to day-to-day operational decisions. Any indication of coercion, withheld identity documents, debt bondage, or unsafe working conditions is treated as a serious concern. Our modern slavery controls are designed to identify warning signs early and respond decisively. Compliance is not optional; it is a core expectation in every relationship we maintain.

Policies and Due Diligence

Supplier audits are an important part of our due diligence process. We review suppliers and contractors before engagement and, where appropriate, during the course of the relationship. These reviews may include checks on employment terms, wage practices, subcontracting arrangements, right-to-work procedures, and record keeping. Where a supplier is assessed as higher risk, we may request additional evidence, conduct deeper reviews, or restrict the use of that supplier until concerns are resolved.

Our procurement expectations are communicated clearly and reinforced through contract terms and ongoing monitoring. We seek assurance that suppliers do not use forced, trafficked, or underage labour and that they maintain lawful recruitment practices. If concerns arise, we investigate promptly and may require corrective action, suspension, or termination of the relationship where necessary. Ethical sourcing is a practical obligation, not merely a statement of intent.

We also support responsible hiring practices within our own operations. Managers are expected to verify employment eligibility, maintain transparent working arrangements, and avoid any practice that could create dependency or exploitation. Training and internal guidance help ensure that staff understand the indicators of modern slavery and know how to escalate concerns. Our aim is to build a culture in which prevention is embedded in everyday decision-making.

Reporting Channels and Governance

Anyone who suspects modern slavery-related misconduct may raise a concern through our internal reporting channels. Reports may be made confidentially and will be handled sensitively, with appropriate steps taken to assess the issue, protect those involved, and preserve relevant information. We make it clear that retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Whistleblowing is a vital safeguard in identifying hidden abuse.

Governance responsibility for this statement rests with senior management, who oversee implementation and review relevant risks and controls. Where an allegation is substantiated, we act in a structured manner to address harm, support remediation, and prevent recurrence. This may include disengaging from suppliers, improving controls, or adjusting procedures. We recognise that effective action requires both firmness and fairness, especially where vulnerable workers may be affected.

This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal expectations and business practices. The review will consider changes in operations, supplier risk, reported concerns, and the effectiveness of our controls. By monitoring progress each year, Cleaners Hollandpark strengthens its commitment to responsible conduct and continuous improvement in tackling modern slavery across its activities and supply chain.
