Fulham Cleaners: Modern Slavery Statement
Fulham Cleaners declares a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and forced labour. This anti-slavery and human trafficking statement explains our commitment to preventing exploitation across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that a clear modern slavery statement, free of ambiguity, is essential to protect workers and uphold ethical standards.
Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Fulham Cleaners, whether in full-time, part-time, temporary or subcontracted roles. The scope of this modern slavery policy includes recruitment, payroll, working conditions and subcontracting arrangements. We require that all partners adhere to the same high standards and that any breaches are treated as a serious matter.
We operate a zero-tolerance approach to exploitation. Any confirmed instance of slavery, servitude, compulsory labour or human trafficking will result in immediate action, including contract termination and referral to the appropriate authorities. Fulham Cleaners will not tolerate any coercion, retention of identity documents, withholding of wages, or deceptive recruitment practices.
Supply Chain Due Diligence and Supplier Audits
Fulham Cleaners conducts risk-based supply chain due diligence to identify and mitigate the risk of modern slavery. We assess suppliers on their policies, employment practices, and transparency. Where risk indicators are identified, we require enhanced scrutiny and may deploy independent verification or site visits to confirm compliance with our standards.
Our supplier audit programme is central to preventing slavery and forced labour. Audits are scheduled based on risk level and are carried out by trained auditors or accredited third parties. Audit findings lead to corrective action plans, timelines for remediation and ongoing monitoring to ensure issues are resolved effectively.
We maintain contractual clauses that require suppliers to comply with anti-slavery laws and our code of conduct. Persistent non-compliance will result in remediation actions, and if necessary, the termination of supplier relationships to protect workers and our business integrity.
Reporting Channels, Training and Remediation
Fulham Cleaners encourages all staff and partners to report concerns. We provide multiple reporting channels and ensure protections for whistleblowers. Reports can be made anonymously where permitted by law, and each allegation is investigated promptly and confidentially.
To support a culture of vigilance we run regular training for employees and contractors. Training covers indicators of modern slavery, safe recruitment practices, and how to use our reporting channels. This builds awareness so that frontline staff can identify and escalate risks effectively.
Reporting channels include:
- Internal incident reporting systems and escalation procedures
- Designated personnel responsible for investigations
- Anonymous reporting mechanisms where available
Fulham Cleaners commits to continuous improvement. We monitor performance through key indicators such as the number of supplier audits completed, findings closed within agreed timeframes, and the volume of training completed across the workforce. Our approach to anti-slavery includes both preventive and corrective measures, emphasising transparency and accountability.
The company's annual review of this modern slavery statement will assess the effectiveness of policies, supplier audits, reporting channels and remediation outcomes. This review informs updates to our strategy, training materials and contractual requirements to address emerging risks.
In conclusion, Fulham Cleaners is resolute in its commitment to eradicating slavery and human trafficking from its operations and supply chains. We publish this modern slavery statement to communicate our principles and actions. An annual review cycle ensures that our modern-slavery prevention measures remain robust, responsive and aligned with best practice.
