Modern Slavery Statement for Queenspark Carpet Cleaners
Queenspark Carpet Cleaners is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, child labour, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that every part of the Queenspark carpet cleaning business must uphold ethical standards, from sourcing materials to delivering services.
Our zero-tolerance policy is clear: slavery and trafficking have no place in any area of our work. We do not knowingly engage with any individual, contractor, or supplier involved in exploitative labour practices. All managers and staff are expected to understand that any suspected breach of this policy will be treated seriously and may lead to immediate termination of the relationship. This commitment applies to the broader Queenspark Carpet Cleaners supply network as well as day-to-day operations.
We aim to identify and reduce risk through careful due diligence and ongoing monitoring. As part of our approach to Queenspark carpet cleaning services, we assess labour standards during onboarding and review the practices of suppliers that provide equipment, cleaning materials, uniforms, and related support. Where higher risk is identified, we request evidence of worker protections, wage compliance, and lawful employment practices. These checks help us maintain a responsible and ethical carpet cleaning operation.
Supplier oversight is a vital part of this statement. We conduct supplier audits on a risk-based basis, including document reviews, questionnaires, and where appropriate, direct assessments of working conditions. Audits may focus on recruitment methods, identity document retention, working hours, pay records, and subcontracting arrangements. If concerns are raised, we expect prompt corrective action and may suspend or end business with the supplier if improvement is not demonstrated. Queenspark Carpet Cleaners reserves the right to verify compliance repeatedly and without warning where necessary.
Reporting concerns is essential to the effectiveness of our modern slavery controls. We encourage employees, contractors, and supply chain partners to raise issues through internal reporting channels if they suspect unsafe, unethical, or unlawful labour practices. Reports may be made confidentially and will be handled with care to protect the person raising the concern. Queenspark Carpet Cleaners does not tolerate retaliation against anyone who speaks up in good faith. This openness helps strengthen our culture of accountability and supports responsible Queenspark carpet cleaners practices.
We also provide awareness training to relevant staff so they can recognise warning signs such as unusual vulnerability, restricted movement, withheld pay, or signs that workers are being controlled by others. This training supports more effective risk identification across the business and helps maintain consistent standards in our service delivery. In addition, we expect our suppliers to share our commitment and to inform their own workers of basic rights, safe grievance procedures, and fair treatment. The goal is a resilient, ethical supply chain for Queenspark carpet cleaners.
We review the effectiveness of this statement at least annually and update it where necessary to reflect changes in legislation, business activities, or supply chain risk. The annual review includes consideration of reported incidents, audit findings, remedial actions, and any emerging risks. Senior management is responsible for confirming that the approach remains suitable and for ensuring that resources are available to support improvement. This yearly review is part of the wider governance of Queenspark Carpet Cleaners.
Our commitment is ongoing. Queenspark Carpet Cleaners will continue to strengthen its controls, improve supplier engagement, and promote ethical standards across the business. We recognise that tackling modern slavery requires vigilance, consistent leadership, and a willingness to act when concerns arise. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, providing reporting channels, and completing an annual review, we aim to ensure that Queenspark carpet cleaning remains responsible, lawful, and respectful of human dignity.
