Modern Slavery Statement for Queenspark Cleaner
Queenspark Cleaner is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery and human trafficking in any form. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Queenspark Cleaner to help prevent exploitation within our operations, our workforce, and our supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, bonded labour, servitude, child labour, and deceptive recruitment practices. Our Queenspark cleaner commitment is rooted in respect for human rights, fair treatment, and lawful business conduct.
We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same principles. Queenspark Cleaning activities depend on trust, and that trust must never be compromised by unethical labour practices. To support this aim, we apply internal controls, staff awareness, and supplier due diligence designed to reduce the risk of exploitation. Every person involved with the business is expected to act with integrity and to challenge behaviour that appears inconsistent with this policy.
Our approach begins with a clear zero-tolerance policy. Any confirmed instance of modern slavery, forced labour, or trafficking linked to our business will result in immediate investigation and appropriate action, which may include termination of employment or contractual relationships. We do not accept excuses for abuse, secrecy, or coercion. The Queenspark cleaner statement reflects a firm position: human dignity must always come before profit, convenience, or speed.
To support this policy, Queenspark Cleaner carries out supplier audits and risk reviews across selected vendors and service providers. These checks consider labour standards, recruitment methods, working hours, wage practices, and the use of subcontractors. Where risks are identified, we require corrective action plans and follow-up verification. Suppliers that fail to cooperate or repeatedly breach expectations may be suspended or removed from our approved supplier base. Modern slavery prevention is not a one-time exercise; it is an ongoing responsibility.
Our procurement process also includes proportionate screening before agreements are signed. We seek assurances that suppliers share our values and have controls in place to protect workers from abuse. Where relevant, we may request evidence of right-to-work checks, age verification, wage records, and recruitment transparency. The Queenspark Cleaner modern slavery statement applies across the supply chain, including labour providers, cleaning product suppliers, and outsourced support services.
We recognise that identifying hidden exploitation can be difficult, especially where vulnerable workers, language barriers, or complex subcontracting arrangements are present. For that reason, training and awareness are important parts of our response. Managers are encouraged to spot warning signs such as document retention, unsafe working conditions, intimidation, debt bondage, or workers being unable to leave freely. Queenspark Cleaner expects concerns to be taken seriously and assessed promptly.
Reporting channels are available so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees and contractors may report suspected wrongdoing through internal management lines, designated safeguarding routes, or formal incident reporting processes. Concerns may be raised confidentially, and all reports will be reviewed objectively. Retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern is strictly prohibited. The Queenspark Cleaner policy supports openness, accountability, and early intervention.
All reported cases are evaluated by responsible managers, who may escalate matters for further investigation where necessary. If evidence suggests that modern slavery may be present, we will act quickly to protect affected individuals, preserve relevant information, and cooperate with lawful authorities where appropriate. This commitment applies equally to direct operations and to matters arising through the Queenspark cleaner supply chain.
This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with changing risks, legislation, and business practices. During the annual review, we assess audit findings, supplier performance, reporting trends, and any incidents or lessons learned. Where improvements are needed, we update procedures, strengthen controls, and reinforce training. Our aim is continual progress in preventing modern slavery and maintaining a responsible, ethical business culture for Queenspark Cleaner and all associated parties.
