Modern Slavery Statement for Belgravia Cleaners

Belgravia Cleaners is committed to operating with integrity, dignity, and respect in every part of our business. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, debt bondage, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, often hidden behind legitimate work arrangements, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any activity that may contribute to it.

Our commitment applies to all areas of the business, including recruitment, procurement, cleaning operations, subcontracted work, and the selection of goods and services. As a responsible Belgravia cleaning company, we expect every employee, contractor, and supplier to uphold the same ethical standards. We will not knowingly engage with any party that benefits from, enables, or conceals modern slavery.

To support this position, Belgravia Cleaners maintains clear policies and controls designed to reduce risk. We conduct due diligence on new suppliers and assess them against relevant ethical, legal, and labour standards. Where appropriate, we request information on workforce practices, subcontracting arrangements, wage compliance, and the safeguarding of vulnerable workers. These checks help us identify concerns early and act before harm occurs.

Supplier oversight is an essential part of our approach. We reserve the right to carry out supplier audits, either directly or through approved third parties, to verify compliance with our standards. These audits may include document reviews, site visits, and discussions focused on working conditions, recruitment processes, and freedom of movement. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we may require corrective action, increase monitoring, or end the relationship where necessary.

Belgravia Cleaners modern slavery policy also covers recruitment practices within our own organisation. We verify the right to work for new starters, avoid charging workers for employment-related fees, and ensure that contracts are clear, fair, and understood. We do not tolerate any form of coercion, intimidation, withholding of identity documents, or restriction of movement. These measures help protect staff and maintain a safe, lawful workplace.

We also encourage open and safe reporting. Any person who suspects wrongdoing can raise concerns through internal reporting channels, including line management, senior leadership, or a designated safeguarding route. Reports can be made confidentially, and concerns will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled without retaliation. This reporting culture is vital to identifying risks that might otherwise remain hidden.

Training and awareness are important to the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures. Relevant team members receive guidance on recognising warning signs such as unusual restrictions, inconsistent pay practices, signs of fear, or dependence on a third party for control over personal documents. By strengthening awareness across the business, our modern slavery commitment becomes a practical part of day-to-day decision-making rather than a statement on paper alone.

We recognise that risk levels can change over time, especially as our supplier base, service requirements, and market conditions evolve. For that reason, this statement and the underlying controls are reviewed annually by senior management. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, policy updates, and any changes in legislation or best practice. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures and strengthen oversight.

Belgravia Cleaners believes that preventing exploitation is a shared responsibility that requires vigilance, transparency, and continuous improvement. Our zero-tolerance stance, supplier audits, reporting channels, and annual review process are key parts of a wider framework designed to protect people and uphold ethical standards across the business. We remain committed to maintaining a trustworthy, fair, and accountable operation that reflects the values of our company and the expectations placed upon a responsible service provider.
