Modern Slavery Statement for Deep Deep Cleaning

Deep Deep Cleaning is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that any form of exploitation is unacceptable, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in every part of our business.

As a provider of professional cleaning services, our work depends on trusted people, reliable materials, and responsible suppliers. We understand that risk can exist in any industry, especially where labour-intensive services or outsourced goods are involved. For that reason, Deep Deep Cleaning applies due diligence measures to help identify, assess, and reduce risks in our workforce and procurement practices. Our approach is guided by ethical standards, legal compliance, and a commitment to fair treatment for all.

We expect our employees, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the same values. Any breach of our standards may result in corrective action, contract review, or termination of the relationship. Our position is clear: modern slavery has no place in Deep Deep Cleaning, and we will act promptly where concerns arise.

Our Policies and Controls

Deep Deep Cleaning operates internal policies that support lawful and ethical employment. These include checks on right-to-work documentation, clear written terms of engagement, and expectations around working hours, pay, and safe conditions. We also promote awareness so that managers can recognise indicators of exploitation such as withheld wages, restricted movement, deception about work, or dependency on third parties.

Our procurement process is designed to reduce exposure to risk. Where relevant, we assess suppliers before engagement and request confirmation that they follow applicable labour laws. Supplier audits are conducted on a risk-based basis and may include review of employment records, subcontracting practices, wage evidence, and worker welfare controls. If a supplier is unable to demonstrate acceptable standards, we reserve the right to suspend business until concerns are resolved.

We also maintain clear recordkeeping to support monitoring and accountability. By documenting supplier assessments, audit outcomes, and any remediation steps, we strengthen our ability to respond effectively and continuously improve our controls.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage all staff and external partners to report any suspicion, concern, or incident related to modern slavery. Reports may include signs of coercion, unsafe labour practices, unusual recruitment fees, or possible exploitation in the supply chain. Concerns are treated seriously, investigated discreetly, and handled with care.

Reporting channels are available through internal management routes and designated safeguarding procedures. We make it clear that no one will suffer retaliation for raising a concern in good faith. Protecting whistleblowers is essential to creating a culture where issues can be identified early and addressed responsibly. Confidentiality is respected wherever possible, and information is shared only on a need-to-know basis.

Where a report indicates potential harm, Deep Deep Cleaning will take immediate steps to assess the situation, protect affected individuals, and cooperate with relevant authorities if required. Our response may include supplier engagement, worker support measures, or enhanced monitoring until the risk is resolved.

Responsibility, Review, and Continuous Improvement

Responsibility for implementing this statement sits with senior management, supported by operational leaders and procurement personnel. They are expected to promote ethical conduct, oversee supplier due diligence, and ensure that concerns are escalated without delay. Training and communication help reinforce our standards across the business.

To keep this statement effective, Deep Deep Cleaning carries out an annual review of its policies, risk controls, and supplier oversight processes. This review considers changes in legislation, business activities, and any incidents or lessons learned during the year. Where improvements are identified, we update our procedures and strengthen our safeguards.

Our aim is to maintain a proactive and responsible approach that prevents exploitation before it occurs. Through a firm zero-tolerance policy, practical supplier audits, accessible reporting channels, and an annual review cycle, Deep Deep Cleaning remains committed to ethical labour practices and the protection of human dignity.
