Modern Slavery Statement for Marylebone Cleaners

Marylebone Cleaners is committed to conducting business in a lawful, ethical, and responsible manner. As a professional cleaning company, we recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms, including forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, and exploitation. This modern slavery statement sets out the measures we take to prevent, identify, and address risks within our operations and supply chain. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to every aspect of our business, and we expect the same standard from all workers, contractors, and suppliers.

We believe that respect for human rights is essential to sustainable service delivery. Marylebone Cleaners employs fair recruitment practices, verifies the right to work where required, and ensures that employment terms are transparent and understood. We do not permit any form of coercion, withholding of wages, retention of identity documents, or intimidation. This commitment is embedded in our internal procedures and forms part of our wider approach to ethical cleaning services.

To support this commitment, Marylebone Cleaners carries out due diligence on suppliers and contractors. We assess the nature of the goods and services provided, the countries of origin involved, and any known human rights risks. High-risk suppliers may be subject to additional checks, document reviews, or supplier audits. Where concerns are identified, we will request corrective action, increase monitoring, or end the relationship if appropriate. Our aim is to work only with partners who share our values and who can demonstrate responsible labour practices.

The company also promotes a culture where concerns can be raised without fear. Staff members, temporary workers, and suppliers are encouraged to report suspected exploitation, unsafe labour conditions, or any behaviour inconsistent with this statement. We maintain clear reporting channels through internal management routes and designated safeguarding contacts. All reports are treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly. Retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited.

Training plays an important role in helping our team recognise warning signs. Managers and supervisors receive guidance on identifying indicators of modern slavery, such as restricted freedom, unusual control by others, or signs of distress linked to work conditions. This ensures that Marylebone Cleaners can respond quickly and appropriately. We also reinforce the message that compliance is not only a legal requirement but a fundamental part of our Marylebone cleaning services reputation and responsibility.

In addition, we monitor labour practices in our supply chain on an ongoing basis. Modern slavery risks are reviewed when selecting new vendors and during periodic reassessments of existing suppliers. If a supplier is found to fall short of our standards, we expect immediate remediation and may suspend or terminate engagement where necessary. These actions help ensure that our commitment extends beyond policy and is reflected in everyday business decisions.

This statement is reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal expectations and operational realities. The review considers changes in our workforce, supplier base, and risk profile, as well as any incidents, concerns, or lessons learned during the year. Updates may lead to improved training, tighter procurement controls, or enhanced audit procedures. Annual review reinforces accountability and keeps our anti-slavery approach active and relevant.

Marylebone Cleaners is dedicated to continuous improvement and to maintaining a workplace and supply chain free from exploitation. We understand that preventing modern slavery requires vigilance, transparency, and decisive action. By applying a strong zero-tolerance policy, undertaking supplier audits, maintaining effective reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we demonstrate our ongoing commitment to ethical business conduct and human dignity.
