Modern Slavery Statement for Enfield Cleaner
Enfield Cleaner is committed to conducting business ethically, lawfully, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. Our approach is built on zero tolerance, accountability, and continual improvement.
We recognise that modern slavery can affect many sectors, including cleaning services, facilities support, procurement, and subcontracted work. As a responsible Enfield cleaning company, we expect every person working for or with us to uphold the highest standards of integrity. We do not accept any practice that undermines dignity, freedom, or safe working conditions.
Our commitment is supported by policies, training, and checks designed to reduce risk. We review our internal processes to identify vulnerabilities, strengthen oversight, and promote ethical conduct. The Enfield Cleaner modern slavery statement reflects our duty to act decisively where concerns arise and to make sure our business remains free from exploitation.
We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery. This applies to direct employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers. Any evidence or suspicion of abuse, coercion, debt bondage, withheld wages, document retention, or unsafe recruitment practices will be treated as a serious breach of our standards.
To help prevent risks, we conduct supplier due diligence before entering into commercial relationships. This includes assessing labour practices, ownership structures, recruitment methods, and country or sector risk. Where necessary, we request assurances, written commitments, and supporting documentation from suppliers to confirm that their practices align with our expectations.
We also carry out supplier audits on a risk-based basis. These audits may involve reviewing records, checking subcontracting arrangements, and confirming that workers are employed voluntarily and receive lawful pay. If any supplier fails to meet our expectations, we will require corrective action, increase monitoring, or end the relationship where appropriate.
Training is an important part of our prevention strategy. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation, such as restricted movement, lack of personal documents, poor communication, or unexplained dependency on an employer. This helps Enfield Cleaner teams remain alert and ready to respond appropriately when concerns emerge.
We maintain clear reporting channels so that concerns can be raised promptly and safely. Employees, agency staff, and suppliers are encouraged to report suspicions without fear of retaliation. Reports are taken seriously, reviewed confidentially, and escalated through the appropriate internal process to ensure timely action.
Where a concern is raised, we aim to protect vulnerable individuals first. This may include preserving evidence, suspending work with a high-risk supplier, or cooperating with relevant authorities where legally required. Our anti-slavery controls are designed to ensure that every report is handled with care, discretion, and urgency.
Enfield Cleaner understands that modern slavery risks may change over time due to market conditions, subcontracting, or shifts in recruitment patterns. For that reason, we treat this statement as a living document rather than a one-time publication. We expect senior leaders to support and monitor its implementation across the business.
We will conduct an annual review of this statement and of the measures that support it. The review will consider audit outcomes, reported concerns, supplier performance, training completion, and any emerging risks. Findings from the review will inform updates to our policies and procedures so that our controls remain effective.
Through these measures, Enfield Cleaner seeks to ensure that our operations and supply chain remain consistent with ethical business practices. We are committed to preventing exploitation, improving due diligence, and strengthening oversight. Our modern slavery prevention approach is grounded in responsibility, transparency, and respect for all workers.
