Oven Cleaning Ealing Modern Slavery Statement
This Modern Slavery Statement is made on behalf of Oven Cleaning Ealing and sets out the actions we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. We are committed to conducting our activities ethically, transparently, and in full support of internationally recognised human rights.
Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy
Oven Cleaning Ealing has a strict zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms, including forced labour, child labour, servitude, debt bondage, and any form of exploitation. We do not accept, condone, or overlook practices that compromise the dignity or freedom of individuals, whether within our own workforce or within the businesses that supply us.
All managers, employees, contractors, and partners are required to uphold this commitment. We expect everyone who works with or for us to share our stance and act immediately if they have concerns about potential modern slavery risks.
Our Business and Supply Chains
Oven Cleaning Ealing provides specialist oven and appliance cleaning services to residential and commercial customers. Our primary modern slavery risks arise through our supply chains, which include cleaning products, equipment, vehicles, uniforms, and support services such as waste disposal and maintenance.
We seek to work with reputable suppliers and service providers who demonstrate strong labour standards and transparent employment practices. We are progressively strengthening our supplier due diligence to ensure that our values are reflected throughout our supply chains.
Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
To manage the risk of modern slavery in our supply chains, Oven Cleaning Ealing is implementing structured due diligence and auditing processes. These include:
Requesting suppliers to confirm compliance with all applicable labour, employment, and human rights laws, as well as our modern slavery standards. Assessing new suppliers for potential ethical risks before we enter into or renew contracts. Prioritising suppliers who can demonstrate responsible sourcing, traceability of key products, and clear labour standards in their own supply chains.
Where appropriate and proportionate to the level of risk, we may conduct audits or request evidence from suppliers to verify working conditions, recruitment practices, and wage arrangements. If a supplier fails to meet our expectations or is unwilling to address identified issues, Oven Cleaning Ealing reserves the right to review, restrict, or terminate the relationship.
Employee Awareness, Responsibilities, and Training
We are committed to building awareness of modern slavery risks among our workforce. Employees whose roles involve procurement, supplier management, or supervision of others are expected to understand the signs of exploitation and to take concerns seriously.
Oven Cleaning Ealing makes clear that everyone has a responsibility to help prevent modern slavery. No employee or contractor will face adverse consequences for raising a concern in good faith, even if it is not substantiated.
Reporting Channels and Escalation
We encourage anyone connected with Oven Cleaning Ealing, including employees, contractors, and suppliers, to report any suspicion or evidence of modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Concerns can be raised directly with line management or a designated senior manager.
All reports will be treated sensitively and, where possible, confidentially. We will investigate concerns promptly and fairly, taking appropriate steps to address issues, support affected individuals, and, where necessary, cooperate with relevant authorities. Retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith is strictly prohibited.
Continuous Improvement and Annual Review
Oven Cleaning Ealing recognises that addressing modern slavery risks requires ongoing attention and improvement. We are committed to regularly reviewing our policies, procedures, and supplier relationships to ensure they remain effective and aligned with best practice.
This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least annually or sooner if there are significant changes in our operations, legal requirements, or risk profile. As part of each review, we will consider feedback from stakeholders, lessons learned from any investigations, and developments in guidance or industry standards. We will use this process to set objectives for further strengthening our approach.
Approval of This Statement
This statement has been approved by the management of Oven Cleaning Ealing, who take overall responsibility for ensuring that it is implemented, monitored, and communicated across the business and to relevant external partners.
