Lambeth Cleaners Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement is made on behalf of Lambeth Cleaners and sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business operations and supply chains. Lambeth Cleaners provides professional cleaning services and recognises its responsibility to act ethically and with integrity in all business relationships.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Lambeth Cleaners adopts a strict zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking. We are committed to ensuring that these abuses have no place in our organisation or in any part of our supply chain. This commitment applies to all directors, managers, employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers who work with or on behalf of Lambeth Cleaners.

We expect everyone who represents Lambeth Cleaners to uphold the highest standards of human rights and labour practices. Any suspicion, allegation, or evidence of modern slavery will be treated as a serious breach of our policies and may result in the termination of employment or business relationships, as well as notification to the relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Supply Chains and Supplier Standards

Our supply chains include providers of cleaning products and materials, equipment, uniforms, facilities management services, and labour agencies. We are committed to working only with suppliers and partners who share our values and demonstrate robust standards in relation to human rights, labour conditions, and ethical conduct.

All new suppliers are assessed against our ethical standards as part of our onboarding process. We communicate our zero-tolerance stance to suppliers and make clear that compliance with applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws is a condition of doing business with Lambeth Cleaners.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

To help prevent modern slavery in our supply chains, Lambeth Cleaners undertakes proportionate due diligence and monitoring activities. These include supplier risk assessments that consider the nature of goods and services provided, the geographic location, and the use of subcontracting or agency labour.

Where we identify higher risk, we may conduct additional supplier audits, request evidence of labour practices and recruitment processes, and require corrective action plans where necessary. We reserve the right to carry out on-site visits, either directly or via third parties, to verify compliance. Failure by a supplier to meet our standards or to take effective corrective action can result in suspension or termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing Channels

Lambeth Cleaners encourages all employees, workers, contractors, and other stakeholders to report any concerns related to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Concerns may include indicators of forced labour, exploitation, unsafe working conditions linked to coercion, or suspicious recruitment practices.

Reports can be made to line managers or senior management within Lambeth Cleaners, verbally or in writing. We are committed to ensuring that individuals who raise concerns in good faith are protected from retaliation or detrimental treatment. All reports will be treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled as confidentially as is reasonably possible.

Training and Awareness

We work to raise awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff, particularly those involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management. Training and guidance are provided so that personnel can recognise potential warning signs of exploitation and know how to respond appropriately. We review our training materials periodically to ensure they reflect current laws, guidance, and best practices.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our modern slavery commitments sits with Lambeth Cleaners senior management team, which monitors compliance, reviews any reported incidents, and approves this statement. We aim to improve our practices year on year by learning from audits, investigations, and stakeholder feedback.

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed and updated annually to reflect changes in our operations, supply chains, and applicable legislation. As part of this review, we assess the effectiveness of our actions, consider additional measures where needed, and set priorities for the coming year. By doing so, Lambeth Cleaners seeks to continually strengthen its approach to preventing modern slavery and protecting the rights and dignity of all workers connected with our business.
