Harrow Cleaner Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Harrow Cleaner to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. Harrow Cleaner recognises that modern slavery is a serious crime and a violation of fundamental human rights, and we are committed to operating transparently, ethically, and responsibly in all aspects of our business.

Harrow Cleaner provides professional cleaning services and works with a range of suppliers and contractors to support our activities. We understand that modern slavery can occur in many forms, including forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking, child labour, and other forms of exploitation. We are committed to acting with integrity and to continually improving our processes to identify, prevent, and address any risks of modern slavery.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Harrow Cleaner has a clear and unequivocal zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not accept any form of forced or compulsory labour within our business or supply chains, and we expect the same high standards from all parties with whom we work. Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, agency staff, contractors, and suppliers engaged by Harrow Cleaner.

We require all individuals working with or on behalf of Harrow Cleaner to comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights legislation. Any breach or suspected breach of this policy will be taken extremely seriously and may result in the termination of contracts or working relationships, and, where appropriate, will be reported to the relevant authorities.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

Harrow Cleaner recognises that a key area of risk lies within extended supply chains. To address this, we are committed to undertaking proportionate supplier due diligence and, where appropriate, supplier audits. Our aim is to ensure that the organisations we work with uphold standards that are consistent with our own commitment to combating modern slavery.

As part of our supplier management process, we assess the nature of the products and services supplied to us, the geographical location of suppliers, and the sector risks. Where risks are identified, we may conduct more detailed reviews or request additional assurance from suppliers regarding their labour practices, workplace conditions, and policies on modern slavery and human trafficking.

If a supplier is found to be involved in modern slavery or is unable or unwilling to demonstrate adequate controls, Harrow Cleaner will take appropriate steps, which may include working with the supplier to improve standards or terminating the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Harrow Cleaner encourages all employees, contractors, and other stakeholders to speak up if they have any concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices. We support an open culture where individuals feel able to raise concerns in the knowledge that they will be taken seriously and handled sensitively.

Concerns may relate to our own operations or to any organisation within our supply chains. Harrow Cleaner is committed to ensuring there are clear internal reporting routes so that concerns can be raised with managers or designated points of contact. Reports made in good faith will be treated confidentially wherever possible, and individuals who raise concerns will not suffer any detrimental treatment or retaliation for doing so.

All reports of suspected modern slavery will be investigated promptly, and appropriate action will be taken in line with our policies and applicable legal requirements.

Training, Awareness, and Responsibilities

Harrow Cleaner is committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff and to providing relevant training where appropriate. Management teams are responsible for ensuring that employees understand our zero-tolerance policy, know how to identify potential warning signs, and are aware of the channels available for raising concerns.

Managers and those involved in procurement or supplier management have particular responsibility for understanding the risks within their areas and for implementing our due diligence approach. We aim to embed respect for human rights into our day-to-day decisions and business relationships.

Monitoring and Annual Review

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with evolving best practice and legal requirements. As part of this review process, Harrow Cleaner will consider any changes in our operations, supplier base, or risk profile, as well as lessons learned from any incidents, audits, or reports raised.

The findings from the annual review will inform any updates to our policies, procedures, and training. Harrow Cleaner is committed to continuous improvement and to strengthening our safeguards against modern slavery and human trafficking year on year.

This Statement has been approved by the leadership of Harrow Cleaner and reflects our ongoing commitment to conduct business ethically and responsibly, respecting the dignity and rights of all individuals involved in our operations and supply chains.
