Modern Slavery Statement for Brixton Cleaner
Brixton Cleaner is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, and all forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. As a responsible cleaning services provider, we recognise that every cleaner, contractor, and supplier must be treated with dignity and protected from abuse.
Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all aspects of the business. We will not knowingly engage with any person or organisation involved in modern slavery, child labour, debt bondage, or any practice that removes an individual’s freedom to choose, leave, or work safely. This applies to our staff, temporary workers, agency workers, subcontractors, and third-party suppliers.
We expect the same high standards from those we work with. Each supplier is required to confirm that they comply with labour laws and ethical employment practices. Where risks are identified, Brixton Cleaner may request additional evidence, site visits, or improvement plans before continuing the relationship.
Our procurement and onboarding processes are designed to reduce risk. We assess suppliers based on country of origin, labour practices, sector risk, and the nature of the goods or services provided. Higher-risk categories may be subject to more detailed checks, including document verification and supplier audits to confirm working conditions, wage practices, and worker freedom.
These audits may be announced or unannounced, depending on the level of risk. If non-compliance is discovered, we will seek immediate corrective action. Where the issue is serious or repeated, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the relationship. Brixton Cleaner will not accept excuses for exploitation, concealment of identity, or withholding of workers’ personal documents.
We also provide safe and accessible reporting channels for employees and contractors to raise concerns. Anyone who suspects modern slavery, coercion, unsafe recruitment, or unethical labour practices is encouraged to speak up without fear of retaliation. Reports will be treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and investigated promptly by the appropriate managers.
Training is another important part of our approach. Relevant staff receive guidance on spotting warning signs such as restricted movement, excessive overtime, lack of control over personal documents, unusual dependency on a supervisor, or signs that a worker is unable to speak freely. This helps ensure that potential concerns are identified early and addressed responsibly.
We understand that modern slavery risks can change over time, particularly in outsourced services and complex supply chains. For that reason, Brixton Cleaner carries out an annual review of this statement, our risk controls, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. The review allows us to strengthen procedures and update our safeguards where needed.
This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical business conduct and the protection of vulnerable people. Brixton Cleaner will continue to improve its controls, work with responsible partners, and maintain a clear anti-slavery stance across the organisation. We believe that clean spaces should never come at the cost of human freedom, and we remain dedicated to upholding that principle in every part of our work.
