Modern Slavery Statement for Carpet Cleaning Queen's Park
Carpet Cleaning Queen's Park is committed to conducting business ethically, transparently, and with respect for the human rights of all individuals. This Modern Slavery Statement explains the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and our supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to identify, prevent, and address any risks of exploitation associated with the services and products we procure.
Our Business and Supply Chain
Carpet Cleaning Queen's Park provides professional carpet and upholstery cleaning services. Our supply chain includes providers of cleaning products, machinery and equipment, personal protective equipment, and other operational services. While our direct operations are relatively small, we understand that risks can exist at any level of the supply chain, including manufacturing, distribution, and subcontracted services.
We expect all suppliers, contractors, and service providers to share our commitment to ethical labour practices and to uphold the principles outlined in this statement and in applicable laws and regulations relating to modern slavery and human rights.
Zero-Tolerance Policy on Modern Slavery
We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to our employees, temporary workers, contractors, and every organisation within our supply chain. Any involvement in, or benefit from, forced labour, bonded labour, servitude, child labour, deceptive recruitment, or trafficking for labour or sexual exploitation is strictly prohibited and incompatible with our values.
Where we find evidence of modern slavery within our operations or supply chain, we will act immediately. This may include terminating relationships with suppliers, suspending services, and reporting concerns to the appropriate authorities. We are committed to working with suppliers to remedy issues where possible, particularly where disengagement could further harm vulnerable individuals.
Supplier Standards and Audits
We seek to work only with suppliers who can demonstrate that they operate in a lawful, ethical, and socially responsible manner. As part of our supplier due diligence, we may request information on labour practices, recruitment processes, and working conditions. We expect suppliers to maintain accurate employment and payroll records and to comply with all applicable labour and human rights legislation.
Where assessed as appropriate and proportionate, we may conduct audits of suppliers or request evidence of external audits or certifications related to ethical labour practices. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our standards, or to take timely corrective action where risks are identified, we will review the continuation of that business relationship.
Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing
We encourage anyone working for or with Carpet Cleaning Queen's Park, as well as members of the public, to raise concerns about potential modern slavery or human trafficking connected to our business or supply chain. Concerns can be reported to any manager or senior representative of Carpet Cleaning Queen's Park or through established internal reporting processes.
Reports will be treated seriously and handled sensitively. We will not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. Where appropriate, we will cooperate with law enforcement agencies and other relevant bodies to investigate and address reported issues.
Training and Awareness
We aim to increase awareness of modern slavery risks among our team, particularly those involved in procurement, supplier management, and recruitment. Training and guidance may include recognising indicators of exploitation, understanding reporting routes, and applying our zero-tolerance policy when selecting or reviewing suppliers.
By promoting awareness and responsibility, we seek to ensure that modern slavery considerations are integrated into day-to-day decision-making and long-term business planning.
Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by the management of Carpet Cleaning Queen's Park to ensure it remains effective and up to date. The review considers changes in legislation, evolving risks within our sector and supply chains, and any issues or incidents reported during the year.
We are committed to continuous improvement in our approach to preventing modern slavery. Over time, we aim to strengthen our due diligence processes, enhance supplier engagement, refine our training and reporting mechanisms, and further embed respect for human rights in every aspect of our operations.
This statement has been approved by the management of Carpet Cleaning Queen's Park and represents our ongoing commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships.
