Modern Slavery Statement for Cleaner Finsbury Park

Cleaner Finsbury Park is committed to conducting all aspects of its work in an ethical, transparent, and responsible manner. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of fundamental human rights, and we are dedicated to continuous improvement in identifying and addressing any associated risks.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to all individuals and organisations working with or on behalf of Cleaner Finsbury Park, including employees, volunteers, contractors, and suppliers. We expect everyone associated with our activities to share our commitment to upholding human dignity, promoting fair treatment, and ensuring that work is undertaken freely and willingly.

No form of forced, bonded, or compulsory labour is acceptable in any part of our operations or those of our business partners. Child labour, exploitation, and any practice that restricts freedom of movement or the right to leave employment are strictly prohibited. Any breach of this policy will be treated as a serious matter and may result in the termination of contracts or working relationships.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

Our supply chain includes providers of cleaning products, equipment, facilities services, and related professional support. We seek to work only with suppliers and partners who share our values and comply with applicable labour and human rights legislation.

As part of our due diligence process, we assess new and existing suppliers for potential risks of modern slavery. This includes requesting information on their employment practices, sourcing arrangements, and policies on labour and human rights. Where appropriate, we conduct audits or assessments to verify compliance. These may involve reviewing documentation, examining workforce conditions, and assessing how suppliers monitor their own supply chains.

If a supplier is unable or unwilling to demonstrate adequate controls to prevent modern slavery, we will take appropriate action. This may include requesting corrective measures, placing the supplier under enhanced monitoring, or discontinuing the relationship where risks cannot be effectively mitigated.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels

We are committed to building awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff, volunteers, and key partners. Training and guidance are provided so that individuals can recognise indicators of exploitation, understand their responsibilities, and know how to respond to concerns. We emphasise that everyone has a role to play in identifying and challenging potential abuses.

Cleaner Finsbury Park promotes an open culture that encourages people to speak up about any suspicions or incidents of modern slavery or unethical behaviour. Concerns can be raised with a manager, senior coordinator, or other designated point of contact within the organisation. Reports can be made openly or confidentially, and all concerns will be taken seriously, investigated where appropriate, and handled sensitively.

We do not tolerate any form of victimisation or retaliation against individuals who raise concerns in good faith. Where necessary, we will work with relevant external agencies and authorities to address credible allegations or evidence of modern slavery.

Governance, Monitoring, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing this Modern Slavery Statement and related practices rests with senior leadership at Cleaner Finsbury Park. They are accountable for ensuring that adequate resources, processes, and controls are in place to identify and manage modern slavery risks.

We monitor the effectiveness of our approach through regular review of supplier assessments, incident reports, and feedback from staff and partners. Lessons learned from any issues identified are used to strengthen our procedures and training. Where improvements are required, action plans will be implemented and progress tracked.

This statement will be reviewed at least once every year to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The annual review will consider changes in our operations, supply chains, and external risk factors. Updated versions of the statement will reflect any new measures, commitments, or improvements we adopt to combat modern slavery and protect the rights and welfare of all workers connected to our activities.
