Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is made by Carpet Cleaning Harringay in respect of our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation in any form and are committed to conducting our business ethically, transparently, and with integrity.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Carpet Cleaning Harringay provides carpet, upholstery, and related cleaning services to residential and commercial clients. Our supply chain includes providers of cleaning products, machinery and equipment, workwear, transport, and various outsourced services. We acknowledge that every supply chain carries some risk of labour exploitation, and we take proactive steps to understand and reduce these risks.

Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery

We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking, forced or compulsory labour, child labour, servitude, and any related exploitation. This applies to our own operations, our employees and workers, and every organisation that supplies goods or services to us.

We expect all employees, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the highest standards of human rights and labour practices. Any breach or suspected breach of this policy will be taken seriously and may result in termination of contracts, disciplinary action, and, where appropriate, reporting to the relevant authorities.

Supplier Standards and Due Diligence

Carpet Cleaning Harringay aims to work only with suppliers and contractors that share our commitment to ethical conduct. As part of our due diligence, we assess new and existing suppliers on their labour practices, transparency, and compliance with applicable employment and human rights legislation.

We require suppliers to confirm that they do not engage in modern slavery or human trafficking and that they, in turn, require the same standards from their own supply chains. We reserve the right to request evidence of such measures and to cease working with suppliers who cannot demonstrate adequate controls.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

To strengthen our approach, we conduct proportionate audits and checks of selected suppliers based on risk, size, and nature of goods or services provided. These audits may include reviewing policies and procedures, assessing worker conditions, and verifying the origin of products and materials where relevant.

Where we identify areas for improvement, we will work collaboratively with suppliers to enhance safeguards, establish corrective action plans, and set clear timelines for remediation. Persistent or serious non-compliance may lead to suspension or termination of the business relationship.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to raising awareness among our team about modern slavery risks and indicators. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising signs of exploitation, understanding our internal reporting channels, and following our escalation procedures.

By improving understanding of modern slavery and human trafficking, we aim to ensure that concerns are identified early and acted upon swiftly.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing

Carpet Cleaning Harringay encourages employees, workers, suppliers, and any other stakeholders to report, in confidence, any concerns or suspicions relating to modern slavery or unethical labour practices connected to our operations or supply chain.

Concerns can be raised through our internal reporting channels or directly to management. Reports will be taken seriously, treated sensitively, and investigated promptly. No individual raising a concern in good faith will suffer any form of retaliation or disadvantage for doing so.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that preventing modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility that requires continual improvement. We regularly consider emerging risks, changes in law, and evolving best practice to refine our approach.

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement will be reviewed at least annually by Carpet Cleaning Harringay’s management. The review will assess the effectiveness of our policies, supplier audits, training, and reporting mechanisms, and identify opportunities to strengthen our controls. Updated statements will reflect any material changes in our actions, risk assessments, or governance structures.

This statement represents Carpet Cleaning Harringay’s current position and ongoing commitment to combating modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our business and supply chains.
