Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement sets out the steps Cleaner Harringay is taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery is a severe violation of fundamental human rights and we are committed to playing our part in eradicating it.

Cleaner Harringay provides cleaning and related services, working with a range of suppliers for equipment, materials, and subcontracted services. We understand that risks can exist at multiple levels of the supply chain, including in the sourcing of raw materials, manufacturing, logistics, labour provision, and subcontracted work.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Cleaner Harringay operates a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, servitude, debt bondage, and human trafficking. We do not accept any practice that involves the exploitation, coercion, or abuse of individuals, whether in our own workforce or in any part of our supply chains.

All employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to act with integrity and in full compliance with all applicable laws relating to labour standards and human rights. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, or notification to the relevant authorities, as appropriate.

Responsibilities and Governance

The senior management team at Cleaner Harringay is responsible for overseeing our approach to modern slavery and ensuring that appropriate measures are implemented and reviewed. Line managers are responsible for promoting awareness of this statement, embedding our standards in day-to-day operations, and promptly escalating any concerns that arise.

All staff members are required to familiarise themselves with this statement, to remain vigilant to potential indicators of modern slavery, and to report any suspicions or concerns through the agreed reporting channels.

Supplier Standards and Audits

Cleaner Harringay expects all suppliers and subcontractors to uphold similar ethical standards and to comply with all applicable labour and human rights legislation. Our supplier selection and onboarding processes include an assessment of labour practices, working conditions, and ethical conduct.

We reserve the right to conduct audits of key suppliers, including site visits where proportionate and feasible, to verify compliance with our modern slavery requirements. These audits may include a review of employment records, working hours, wage practices, recruitment processes, and worker welfare arrangements. Where issues are identified, we may agree corrective action plans with the supplier, monitor progress, and, where necessary, suspend or terminate the business relationship.

Training and Awareness

Cleaner Harringay is committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among employees who are involved in procurement, supplier management, and frontline operations. Training and guidance aim to help staff recognise signs of exploitation, understand our zero-tolerance policy, and know how to respond to any concerns safely and appropriately.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage anyone working for or with Cleaner Harringay to report concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices without fear of retaliation. Concerns can be raised through management or established internal reporting routes. Reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly wherever possible.

Cleaner Harringay does not tolerate victimisation of any individual who raises a concern in good faith. Where modern slavery is suspected or identified, we will take appropriate action which may include cooperation with law enforcement agencies and relevant support organisations, as well as engagement with affected individuals where this can be done safely.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that the fight against modern slavery is an ongoing process. Cleaner Harringay is committed to reviewing and improving our policies, procedures, and due diligence activities to strengthen our ability to prevent, detect, and address modern slavery risks.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed at least once every year by senior management. The review considers changes in our operations, supplier base, risk profile, and legal or regulatory requirements. Where improvements are identified, we will update our approach and communicate any significant changes to relevant stakeholders.

This statement reflects Cleaner Harringay's commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place within our business or supply chains.
