Tufnell Park Cleaner Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Tufnell Park Cleaner is taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery is a serious global issue affecting vulnerable individuals, and we are committed to operating in a manner that is ethical, transparent, and fully compliant with all applicable laws and regulations.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

Tufnell Park Cleaner adopts a strict zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking, including forced labour, debt bondage, servitude, child labour, and exploitation. We will not knowingly conduct business with any individual, organisation, or supplier involved in such practices. Our management team is responsible for promoting a culture in which respect for human rights is central to everyday decision making.

All employees, contractors, and business partners are expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity. Breaches of this commitment will be treated as serious misconduct and may lead to disciplinary action, termination of contracts, and, where appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities.

Our Business and Supply Chains

Tufnell Park Cleaner provides professional cleaning services and related support within the local community and surrounding areas. Our workforce consists of employed staff and vetted contractors. Our supply chains primarily include providers of cleaning materials, equipment, workwear, and associated services such as waste management and facilities support.

We recognise that risks can arise at various points in the supply chain, including manufacturing, distribution, and subcontracted services. Accordingly, we take proportionate steps to identify, monitor, and reduce these risks.

Supplier Standards and Audit Measures

We expect all suppliers to meet our ethical standards and comply with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws. As part of our onboarding and ongoing supplier management, we require suppliers to confirm that they do not tolerate modern slavery or human trafficking in their own operations or wider supply networks.

Where appropriate to the size and risk profile of a supplier, we may carry out due diligence and audits. These may include reviewing labour policies and recruitment practices, assessing the use of subcontractors and temporary labour, and examining health and safety conditions. Suppliers that fail to demonstrate adequate safeguards or refuse to cooperate with our audits may have their contracts reviewed, suspended, or terminated.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery among our team. Staff who are involved in recruitment, procurement, and supplier management receive guidance on identifying possible indicators of exploitation, such as withholding of documents, signs of coercion, or unreasonable deductions from wages.

Tufnell Park Cleaner encourages all employees, contractors, and suppliers to speak up if they have any concerns about potential modern slavery or human trafficking. Concerns can be raised directly with a line manager or through senior management. Reports will be handled sensitively and, where possible, confidentially. Retaliation against any person who raises a genuine concern in good faith is strictly prohibited.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that combating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility. Tufnell Park Cleaner is committed to reviewing and improving our policies, procedures, and risk assessments on a regular basis. Each year, we will conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our related practices to evaluate their effectiveness and identify areas for enhancement.

This review will consider feedback from staff, suppliers, and other stakeholders, as well as changes in legislation and recognised best practice. Where necessary, we will update our processes, introduce additional due diligence measures, or enhance training to ensure that our zero-tolerance approach is embedded throughout our operations and supply chains.

Approval of This Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement has been prepared on behalf of Tufnell Park Cleaner and approved by the company leadership. It reflects our ongoing commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking and to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for the dignity and rights of every person.
