Modern Slavery Statement for Carpetcleaning Harringay

Carpetcleaning Harringay is committed to conducting business with integrity, responsibility, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and any form of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many sectors, including cleaning services, logistics, manufacturing, and the sourcing of consumables. Our commitment applies to every part of our work and to everyone who acts on behalf of our company.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and all unethical labour practices. This applies to direct employees, temporary workers, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Carpetcleaning Harringay. Any suspected breach is treated as a serious matter and may result in immediate investigation, suspension of the business relationship, or termination where appropriate. We expect all business partners to uphold the same principles and to demonstrate lawful, fair, and transparent employment practices.

To support this policy, we assess risk at different stages of our procurement and service delivery processes. Where risks are identified, we take proportionate action, including requesting evidence of wage compliance, right-to-work checks, and employment policies. Supplier audits form a key part of this approach. These audits may be scheduled or unannounced, depending on the risk profile of the supplier, the nature of the service, and the location of operations. We seek to ensure that our suppliers understand and meet the expectations set by Carpetcleaning Harringay.

Supplier Due Diligence

Before entering into a commercial relationship, we review a supplier’s labour practices, subcontracting arrangements, and governance controls. If a supplier cannot provide satisfactory evidence of compliance, we will not proceed. In higher-risk cases, we may require corrective action plans, additional documentation, or enhanced monitoring. We also encourage suppliers to cascade anti-slavery standards through their own supply chains, ensuring that ethical practice is maintained beyond direct contractual boundaries.

Awareness and training are essential to preventing exploitation. Staff involved in purchasing, operations, and management are expected to remain alert to warning signs such as restricted movement, unusual wage deductions, poor accommodation conditions, or employees who appear unable to speak freely. Training helps our people understand how to identify risks and respond appropriately. By embedding these responsibilities into everyday practice, Carpetcleaning Harringay strengthens its ability to detect and prevent abuse.

Reporting Channels and Raising Concerns

We encourage anyone connected to our business to raise concerns if they suspect modern slavery or unsafe labour practices. Reports can be made through internal management channels, and all concerns are handled sensitively, promptly, and without retaliation. Anonymous reporting is supported where possible, because we understand that people may fear consequences if they speak up. Every concern is reviewed, recorded, and escalated when necessary so that appropriate action can be taken.

Investigation and Remediation If a concern is substantiated, we will work to remedy the issue in a way that protects affected individuals. This may include notifying relevant authorities, removing the supplier from approved status, or supporting corrective measures where safe and appropriate. Our aim is not only to respond to incidents, but to reduce the chance of recurrence through stronger oversight, clearer requirements, and better due diligence. Modern slavery is incompatible with our values and with the standard of service expected from Carpetcleaning Harringay.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement, along with our controls and procedures, is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective and relevant. During the review, we examine supplier audit results, training records, reported concerns, and any changes in legal or operational risk. Improvements are introduced where needed, and responsibilities are updated to reflect best practice. Carpetcleaning Harringay is committed to continuous improvement and to maintaining a supply chain that reflects dignity, fairness, and compliance.

We believe that a clear modern slavery commitment is an essential part of responsible business. By applying rigorous standards, conducting supplier audits, maintaining reliable reporting channels, and reviewing our approach every year, we aim to help prevent exploitation and support ethical working conditions across all areas of our operations.
