Modern Slavery Statement for Queens Park Carpet Cleaners

Queens Park Carpet Cleaners 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 modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in our operations and supply chain. As a responsible Queens Park carpet cleaning business, we recognise that ethical practice must be embedded in everyday decisions, from procurement to service delivery.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in any form. This applies to our employees, contractors, suppliers, and subcontractors. No commercial advantage, deadline, or cost saving can justify exploitation. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take decisive action, which may include ending a business relationship if required. Our approach to carpet cleaners in Queens Park reflects a clear belief that dignity and lawful treatment are non-negotiable.

We also expect all parties connected to Queens Park Carpet Cleaners to share our standards. Suppliers are asked to confirm compliance with labour laws, provide accurate information about their workforce practices, and support our ethical requirements. We review supplier risk based on geography, service type, labour intensity, and the nature of goods or services supplied. This helps us focus our oversight where risks may be higher.

Supplier management is an important part of our prevention strategy. We conduct supplier audits and periodic checks, either directly or through documented evidence, to confirm that suppliers are operating responsibly. These audits may include reviewing employment practices, right-to-work controls, wage records, and subcontracting arrangements. Where a gap is identified, we require corrective action within a reasonable timeframe and monitor progress carefully.

We encourage openness and provide clear reporting channels for anyone who suspects slavery, coercion, or unethical labour practices. Concerns can be raised internally through management, and we ensure that all reports are treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated without delay. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a genuine concern in good faith. This commitment supports a safer environment across the Queens Park carpet cleaners supply network.

Training and awareness are also central to our commitment. Relevant staff are informed about the signs of modern slavery, including restricted movement, withheld documents, debt bondage, and unusual control over workers. By improving awareness, we strengthen our ability to identify risks early. Our aim is to ensure that every decision made by Queens Park Carpet Cleaners supports lawful and ethical working conditions.

We recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time as markets, suppliers, and service arrangements evolve. For that reason, this statement is reviewed annually and updated where necessary to reflect improvements, emerging risks, and changes in legislation or best practice. The review is used to assess the effectiveness of our controls and to set new priorities for the following year.

Our annual review considers the results of supplier audits, any reported concerns, the effectiveness of training, and the suitability of our internal procedures. If weaknesses are identified, we strengthen our controls and revise our processes. This continuous improvement approach ensures that our commitment remains practical rather than symbolic, and that Queens Park carpet cleaning services continue to be delivered responsibly.

Queens Park Carpet Cleaners will continue to act with vigilance, accountability, and respect for human rights. We expect everyone working with us to help prevent exploitation and to uphold the standards set out in this statement. Through clear policies, careful supplier oversight, accessible reporting routes, and annual review, we aim to play our part in eliminating modern slavery from our business and wider supply chain.
