Modern Slavery Statement for Carpet Cleaning KT6

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Carpet Cleaning KT6 is taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect human rights and are committed to conducting business ethically, transparently, and in full compliance with applicable laws.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Carpet Cleaning KT6 adopts a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, and child labour. We will not knowingly engage with or support any organisation involved in such practices. This commitment applies to all aspects of our business, including direct employment, contracted labour, and our supply chains.

All workers engaged by Carpet Cleaning KT6 must do so voluntarily and with clear, informed consent. No employee is required to pay recruitment fees, surrender identity documents, or work under threats, coercion, or deception. Breaches of this policy are treated as gross misconduct and may result in termination of contracts or business relationships.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Carpet Cleaning KT6 provides professional carpet and upholstery cleaning services. Our supply chain includes providers of cleaning products and machinery, personal protective equipment, vehicles, and various business support services. While our operations are relatively small in scale, we recognise that the risk of modern slavery can exist at any level of the supply chain, particularly where raw materials, manufacturing, or low-skilled labour are involved.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and subcontractors to uphold the same high standards as Carpet Cleaning KT6. As a condition of doing business with us, suppliers are required to confirm that they comply with all relevant labour and human rights legislation and that they do not engage in any form of modern slavery.

We carry out proportionate due diligence on existing and new suppliers, which may include questionnaires, requests for policy documentation, and risk-based assessments. Where we identify heightened risks, we may undertake more focused supplier reviews, including on-site visits or additional assurance activities, either directly or through trusted partners.

If a supplier is unable or unwilling to demonstrate adequate controls to prevent modern slavery, we will take appropriate action, which may include setting improvement requirements, suspending orders, or terminating the relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Carpet Cleaning KT6 encourages a culture of openness so that any concerns about modern slavery or unethical behaviour can be raised without fear of retaliation. Employees, workers, contractors, and external stakeholders are encouraged to report any suspicion of exploitation, unsafe working conditions, unfair pay practices, or trafficking risks involving our business or supply chain.

Concerns can be raised directly with management or through established internal reporting channels. Reports will be treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly. No person who raises a concern in good faith will suffer any form of detriment, regardless of the outcome of the investigation.

Training and Awareness

We aim to increase awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff and key suppliers. Training and guidance may cover recognising indicators of forced labour, understanding workers' rights, and knowing how to report concerns. We periodically review and update our internal guidance to reflect changes in legislation, best practice, and risk assessments.

Monitoring, Governance, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery sits with the senior management of Carpet Cleaning KT6. They are accountable for ensuring that this statement is implemented effectively and that appropriate controls are in place across our operations and supply chains.

Our modern slavery risk controls, supplier due diligence processes, and reporting mechanisms are reviewed at least annually. As part of this review, we assess the effectiveness of our actions, consider any incidents or concerns raised, and identify opportunities for improvement. Where necessary, we update our policies, contractual terms, and procedures to strengthen protections against modern slavery.

This Modern Slavery Statement reflects Carpet Cleaning KT6's ongoing commitment to combating modern slavery and human trafficking. It is approved by senior management and will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and effective.
