Modern Slavery Statement for Mayfair Cleaner

Mayfair 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 modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and exploitation in our operations and supply chains. Our approach is rooted in a zero-tolerance policy, supported by internal controls, supplier oversight, and clear reporting mechanisms. We expect everyone connected with our business to uphold the same standards and to act responsibly at all times.

Our commitment applies across all areas of the business, including recruitment, procurement, subcontracting, and day-to-day service delivery. We recognise that risks may exist wherever labour is sourced or services are obtained, especially where there are complex supply chains or vulnerable workers. For that reason, Mayfair Cleaner maintains procedures to identify, assess, and reduce the risk of modern slavery in a practical and consistent way.

We communicate this expectation through our policies, staff awareness measures, and supplier agreements. Any cleaning services provider, contractor, agency, or vendor working with us must comply with applicable labour standards and legal obligations. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take appropriate action, which may include corrective measures, suspension of work, or termination of the relationship. We do not accept excuse, delay, or inaction where exploitation is suspected.

Our supplier due diligence process is designed to reduce exposure to modern slavery risks. Before engaging new suppliers, we assess their labour practices, ownership structure, and compliance record. We also require relevant declarations confirming adherence to anti-slavery principles. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to enhanced checks, including document review, interviews, and ongoing monitoring.

Supplier audits form a key part of our preventive approach. These audits may be scheduled or unannounced, depending on the risk profile of the supplier and the nature of the service provided. During an audit, we review recruitment practices, working hours, pay arrangements, identity documentation, and worker welfare indicators. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we request immediate remediation and monitor progress closely.

Mayfair Cleaner also supports training and awareness across the organisation so that employees can recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, poor living conditions, or intimidation. This training helps ensure that our modern slavery statement is not just a document, but a working commitment reflected in everyday decisions. We believe prevention is strongest when people understand both the risks and their responsibilities.

Reporting concerns is essential to maintaining an ethical workplace. We provide internal reporting channels that allow employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise issues confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Concerns may relate to recruitment practices, supplier conduct, or suspected abuse within the supply chain. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled with sensitivity. Where necessary, we involve senior management and take immediate safeguarding action.

We also encourage anyone who suspects exploitation to speak up early, even if the evidence is incomplete. Silence can allow harm to continue, while timely reporting can protect vulnerable workers. Our internal process supports confidentiality and non-retaliation, helping people raise concerns in good faith. This approach strengthens trust and reinforces our anti-slavery culture across the business.

Our commitment to continuous improvement is reflected in an annual review of policies, controls, and supplier performance. Each year, we assess whether our measures remain effective and identify areas for improvement. The review considers audit findings, training activity, incident reports, and emerging risks in the sectors we work with. Any required updates are incorporated into our procedures and communicated to relevant teams.

We understand that preventing modern slavery requires sustained attention, accountability, and vigilance. As Mayfair Cleaner grows and evolves, we will continue to strengthen our safeguards and review our approach to ensure it remains robust. Our zero-tolerance policy applies without exception, and we expect the same commitment from those who work with us.

This statement reflects our present actions and our ongoing determination to operate responsibly. By maintaining supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and an annual review cycle, Mayfair Cleaner seeks to reduce risk and promote ethical business practices throughout the organisation and supply chain.
