Modern Slavery Statement for Motspur Park Carpet Cleaners
At Motspur Park Carpet Cleaners, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and actions we follow to help prevent forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the cleaning sector may involve labour-intensive work and subcontracted services, so vigilance is essential. Our approach is based on a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that compromises the safety, freedom, or wellbeing of workers.
We expect every employee, contractor, and supplier connected with Motspur Park Carpet Cleaners to uphold these standards. This includes fair wages, lawful working hours, appropriate age verification, and the right to work in a safe environment. Our commitment is not only to comply with applicable legislation, but also to act responsibly beyond minimum legal requirements. We will take prompt action where concerns are identified and will not ignore warning signs, however minor they may appear.
Our anti-slavery controls are embedded into recruitment, onboarding, and procurement processes. Staff are trained to recognise indicators of exploitation, such as restricted movement, debt bondage, withholding of documents, or signs of coercion. We reinforce that all workers must be treated with respect and that any suspected abuse must be escalated immediately. By maintaining clear standards from the start, we reduce the risk of modern slavery entering our business.
Supplier oversight is a central part of this statement. We carry out supplier audits and periodic due diligence checks on relevant partners, especially those providing labour, equipment, or outsourced services. These audits may include document reviews, right-to-work verification, checks on pay practices, and confirmation of safe working conditions. Where a supplier cannot demonstrate compliance, we will require corrective action and monitor progress closely. If concerns remain unresolved, we will end the relationship.
We also maintain clear reporting channels so that employees and contractors can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through line managers, senior management, or designated internal safeguarding routes. All concerns are handled confidentially and assessed promptly. We encourage anyone who suspects exploitation, unsafe treatment, or unethical labour practices to speak up, as early reporting helps protect vulnerable individuals and supports timely investigation.
In addition, Motspur Park Carpet Cleaners includes modern slavery awareness in induction and refresher training where appropriate. Our managers are expected to lead by example and to respond decisively if they become aware of signs of coercion, deception, or hidden labour arrangements. We understand that an effective modern slavery policy depends on consistent action, not statements alone. Therefore, our procedures are designed to be practical, measurable, and accountable.
The business will also keep records of due diligence activity, audit outcomes, and any remedial measures taken. These records help us track patterns, identify risk areas, and improve our safeguards over time. We recognise that modern slavery risks can evolve, particularly where suppliers change ownership, subcontract work, or operate in higher-risk sectors. For that reason, we review procurement decisions carefully and continue to assess whether our controls remain effective.
Annual review is an important part of our commitment. This statement, together with our wider anti-slavery arrangements, will be reviewed at least once every year by management. The review will consider new legal requirements, operational changes, supplier performance, training needs, and any reported concerns. Where improvements are needed, we will update our procedures and strengthen our oversight. This ensures our response remains current, credible, and proportionate.
Motspur Park Carpet Cleaners believes that ethical business practice is inseparable from quality service. By maintaining a firm zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, providing safe reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to protect workers and uphold responsible standards across every part of our business. We will continue to act with care, diligence, and transparency to help prevent modern slavery in all its forms.
