Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement is made by Finsbury Park Carpet Cleaning for the financial year ending 31 December and sets out the steps we are taking to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains.

Our Business and Values

Finsbury Park Carpet Cleaning provides professional carpet, upholstery, and related cleaning services to residential and commercial customers. We operate primarily within the United Kingdom and work with a range of suppliers, including those providing cleaning materials, equipment, vehicles, and outsourced services.

We are committed to conducting all aspects of our business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. We recognise that modern slavery, in all its forms, is a severe violation of fundamental human rights and we are dedicated to playing our part in its eradication.

Zero-Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery

We have a clear zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. This applies to all aspects of our operations and to everyone working for or on behalf of Finsbury Park Carpet Cleaning, including employees, temporary workers, contractors, and suppliers.

We will not knowingly enter into or maintain business relationships with any organisation that is involved in, or fails to act upon, modern slavery or human trafficking practices. Where credible concerns are raised, we will investigate promptly and, where appropriate, terminate relationships that do not meet our expectations.

Our Supply Chains and Supplier Standards

Our supply chains include manufacturers and distributors of cleaning products and equipment, vehicle and maintenance providers, specialist subcontractors, and facilities and support service providers. We recognise that certain parts of these supply chains may carry a higher risk of labour exploitation.

We expect all suppliers and business partners to uphold high standards of labour practices, including fair wages, safe working conditions, and the prohibition of forced, bonded, or child labour. These expectations are communicated through our purchasing processes and our contractual terms, which require compliance with all applicable labour and human rights laws.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Finsbury Park Carpet Cleaning is developing and implementing proportionate due diligence and audit measures to identify and manage modern slavery risks in our supply chains. These measures include assessing potential new suppliers for their approach to labour rights and human trafficking, prioritising higher risk categories for additional scrutiny.

Where appropriate, we may request evidence of policies, training, and controls from suppliers, conduct site visits, or require completion of questionnaires covering labour standards and ethical practices. Any issues identified through these audits will be discussed with the supplier, and we will work collaboratively to address shortcomings or, if necessary, review the continuation of the business relationship.

Training and Awareness

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among our management team and relevant employees, particularly those involved in procurement, recruitment, and supplier management. Training will focus on identifying warning signs, understanding risk factors, and following appropriate escalation procedures when concerns arise.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Finsbury Park Carpet Cleaning encourages all employees, contractors, and business partners to speak up if they suspect any form of modern slavery or unethical labour practice in our operations or supply chains. Concerns can be raised through existing internal reporting channels or directly to management, without fear of retaliation or disadvantage.

We treat all reports seriously, handle them as sensitively and confidentially as possible, and ensure that concerns are investigated promptly and fairly. Where necessary, we will engage with relevant authorities or expert organisations.

Monitoring, Accountability, and Annual Review

Responsibility for overseeing our approach to modern slavery rests with the senior management of Finsbury Park Carpet Cleaning. They are accountable for ensuring that suitable policies, procedures, and controls are in place and that they remain effective and proportionate to the risks we face.

This Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement will be reviewed annually, or more frequently if needed, to reflect changes in our business operations, supply chains, or legal and regulatory requirements. As part of this review, we will evaluate the effectiveness of our actions, consider feedback from stakeholders, and identify opportunities for continual improvement.

By publishing this statement, Finsbury Park Carpet Cleaning reaffirms its commitment to a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and to promoting ethical and responsible practices across all areas of our business.
