Modern Slavery Statement for Crystalpalace Cleaner

Crystalpalace Cleaner is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that harms human dignity, and we expect the same standard from everyone who works with us.

Our commitment covers all areas of the business, including recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and supplier relationships. We recognise that the cleaning industry can involve complex labour arrangements, which is why the Crystalpalace Cleaner approach places safeguarding, transparency, and responsible oversight at the centre of our anti-slavery controls. We aim to ensure every worker is treated fairly, paid lawfully, and employed voluntarily.

We assess risk by reviewing the nature of work, the location of service delivery, and the employment model used by suppliers and labour providers. Where potential risks are identified, we take proportionate action to reduce them. This may include enhanced due diligence, document checks, interviews, and targeted monitoring. The Crystalpalace Cleaner policy is designed to ensure that any signs of exploitation are identified early and addressed decisively.

Supplier Standards and Audits

All suppliers are expected to comply with our ethical labour standards, confirm lawful employment practices, and support our efforts to eliminate modern slavery. We include anti-slavery expectations in our supplier onboarding process and reserve the right to suspend or end relationships where serious concerns arise. A key part of our Crystalpalace Cleaner modern slavery framework is regular supplier auditing.

Supplier audits may involve reviewing workforce records, right-to-work evidence, pay practices, subcontracting arrangements, and site conditions. We also assess whether workers understand their terms of employment and whether passports, wages, or personal documents are being withheld. These audits help us verify that each Crystalpalace Cleaner supplier operates ethically and that no hidden forms of coercion or abuse are present.

Where non-compliance is found, we require corrective action within a defined timeframe. In serious cases, we may pause work, escalate the issue, or terminate the relationship. Our supplier management process is intended to be both preventive and responsive, strengthening the integrity of the Crystalpalace Cleaner slavery statement in practice rather than in principle alone.

Reporting, Protection, and Review

Workers, suppliers, and contractors are encouraged to report any concern related to exploitation, unsafe labour practices, or suspicious behaviour. We provide clear internal reporting channels through line management and designated safeguarding leads, and we ensure concerns are handled confidentially and taken seriously. No one will face retaliation for raising a genuine issue in good faith. This reporting culture supports the wider Crystalpalace Cleaner modern slavery statement by making accountability practical and accessible.

All reports are investigated promptly, with outcomes recorded and monitored. Where necessary, we cooperate with relevant authorities and take immediate measures to protect affected individuals. We also review recruitment practices to ensure fees are not unfairly passed on to workers and that agency arrangements remain lawful and transparent. These measures reflect our ongoing commitment to the responsible Crystalpalace Cleaner anti-slavery policy.

The effectiveness of this statement is reviewed annually by senior management. The review considers audit results, reported concerns, remediation actions, changes in risk, and any legal or regulatory updates. Findings are used to improve training, strengthen procurement controls, and refine our due diligence processes. We believe continual improvement is essential to sustaining a meaningful zero-tolerance approach.

This modern slavery statement has been approved as part of Crystalpalace Cleaner’s governance framework and will remain under active review. By setting expectations clearly, checking suppliers carefully, and supporting safe reporting, we work to ensure that our services are delivered ethically and responsibly. Our goal is simple: to help protect vulnerable people, uphold lawful employment, and maintain a supply chain free from exploitation.
