Modern Slavery Statement for Hollandpark Cleaners
Hollandpark 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 slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. As a responsible cleaning services provider, we understand that vigilance is essential in areas where labour is sourced through third parties, subcontractors, or temporary arrangements.
Our Zero-Tolerance Policy
We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery. No worker should ever be exploited through coercion, deception, withheld wages, document retention, or unsafe working conditions. All employees, managers, and business partners are expected to uphold this principle. Any breach of our anti-slavery commitment may lead to immediate corrective action, termination of relationships, or escalation to the relevant authorities where appropriate.
Risk Management and Supplier Audits
We recognise that the greatest risks may exist within our extended supply chain, including recruitment agencies, facilities support providers, and goods suppliers. To address this, Hollandpark Cleaners carries out proportionate supplier audits and due diligence checks. These reviews may include assessments of labour practices, employment records, identity verification, wage processes, and compliance with ethical standards. We also expect suppliers of Hollandpark cleaning services to confirm that they share our zero-tolerance position and can demonstrate how they monitor their own subcontractors.
Training and Awareness
Our staff receive guidance on identifying warning signs that may indicate exploitation, such as restricted movement, unexplained fear, or inconsistent pay arrangements. Training supports our wider modern slavery prevention efforts by helping employees understand how to escalate concerns quickly and responsibly. Managers are instructed to review supplier performance regularly and to treat any sign of risk as a priority, not an exception.
Reporting Channels and Investigation
Hollandpark Cleaners provides clear reporting channels so that concerns about modern slavery can be raised without delay. Reports may be made internally through management or through the designated safeguarding route established for ethical concerns. We encourage early reporting of suspicious behaviour, even where evidence is limited, because prompt action can help prevent harm. All reports are handled seriously, confidentially where possible, and investigated in line with our internal procedures. Where necessary, we will suspend relevant business activity while concerns are examined.
We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith. This protection is central to our responsible business culture and ensures that workers and colleagues feel safe to speak up. If a supplier or partner is found to be non-compliant, we will seek remedial action where improvement is possible, but we will not hesitate to end the relationship if the issue cannot be resolved.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
This statement and the supporting controls are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and relevant. The review considers changes in legislation, industry best practice, supplier risk levels, and the outcomes of audits or investigations. We use the findings to strengthen our slavery prevention measures, improve training, and refine supplier oversight. Our goal is continual improvement, not compliance in name only.
As Hollandpark Cleaners grows, we remain committed to embedding ethical labour standards across every part of the organisation. Through clear policy, supplier monitoring, reporting routes, and yearly review, we aim to reduce the risk of exploitation and uphold the dignity of every worker connected to our Hollandpark cleaner operations. This statement reflects our determination to act responsibly and to maintain a workplace and supply chain built on trust, transparency, and respect.
