Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaners Tjohnswood
Cleaners Tjohnswood is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with full respect for human rights. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, debt bondage, and any form of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out the principles that guide Cleaners Tjohnswood in preventing, identifying, and addressing risks associated with modern slavery.
As a trusted cleaning provider, Tjohnswood Cleaners recognises that vulnerability can exist in labour-intensive sectors. For that reason, we apply strict controls to recruitment, onboarding, working conditions, and subcontracting arrangements. No person should ever be coerced, deceived, or deprived of freedom in order to support our services. Our commitment extends to every level of the organisation, from management to frontline delivery.
We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers connected to Tjohnswood cleaning services to uphold the same ethical standards. Any breach of this statement is treated seriously and may result in immediate corrective action, contract termination, or referral to the relevant authorities where appropriate.
To reduce risk, Cleaners Tjohnswood undertakes supplier due diligence and routine supplier audits. These reviews assess labour practices, wage compliance, identity documentation, right-to-work checks, and the use of subcontractors. Where concerns arise, suppliers must provide evidence of remediation and may be re-audited to confirm improvement. We reserve the right to suspend relationships if standards are not met.
Our procurement process for Tjohnswood Cleaners includes risk-based screening before any supplier is approved. We consider factors such as geography, labour model, service type, and previous compliance history. This approach helps us identify higher-risk relationships and take proportionate action, including enhanced monitoring, contractual safeguards, and training requirements for relevant managers.
Modern slavery awareness is embedded across the business through policy communication and staff training. Managers are expected to recognise indicators such as restricted movement, withheld documents, excessive overtime, unsafe accommodation, or signs of intimidation. By strengthening understanding within Cleaners Tjohnswood, we improve our ability to prevent exploitation before it occurs.
We also provide clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Reports may be made through internal management routes, designated safeguarding leads, or formal incident procedures. Retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited. Every report is reviewed promptly, recorded, and investigated with discretion, fairness, and respect for all parties involved.
If a potential issue is identified within the Tjohnswood cleaning company or its supply chain, we act quickly to assess risk and protect affected individuals. This may include pausing work, collecting evidence, conducting interviews, and working with suppliers on corrective action plans. Where required, we cooperate with enforcement bodies and support remediation that prioritises the safety and dignity of workers.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with changing legal and operational expectations. Each review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, training outcomes, and any new risks affecting Cleaners Tjohnswood. Updates are approved by senior leadership and used to strengthen controls for the year ahead.
Governance and Accountability
Cleaners Tjohnswood assigns responsibility for modern slavery prevention to senior management, with support from operational leads and procurement teams. This governance structure ensures that the principles in this statement are not merely aspirational but actively embedded into decision-making, supplier oversight, and day-to-day service delivery.
Our Ongoing Commitment
The fight against modern slavery requires vigilance, transparency, and continuous improvement. Tjohnswood Cleaners will continue to strengthen controls, challenge poor practice, and promote ethical conduct throughout its operations and supply chain. We remain committed to ensuring that our services are delivered in a way that respects human rights and upholds the dignity of every worker.
