Modern Slavery Statement — Rent a Cleaner
Rent a Cleaner publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our commitment to preventing forced labour, human trafficking and exploitation across our operations and supply chain. This Rent a Cleaner modern slavery policy reflects our expectation that everyone engaged with our business upholds human rights, dignity and fair treatment.
We operate a zero-tolerance policy against modern slavery and forced labour. Our anti-slavery statement clearly prohibits any form of coercion or unsafe working conditions in our own workforce and among third-party suppliers. We require compliance with applicable laws and insist on ethical behaviour from all partners.
The Rent a Cleaner slavery and human trafficking statement includes specific obligations for suppliers, contractors and subcontractors. We will not tolerate any breach of our standards: any suspected instance of exploitation triggers immediate investigation and remedial action, up to termination of contracts and legal referral where necessary.
Supplier Expectations and Audit Programme
Our supplier due diligence and supplier audit programme are designed to identify, assess and mitigate modern slavery risk. We classify suppliers by risk level and perform targeted audits on higher-risk partners. Audits combine document review, site visits and worker interviews to verify compliance with our anti-slavery requirements.
Key components of our supplier audits and monitoring include:
- Verification of employment contracts and payroll records
- Checks for freedom of movement and evidence of identity retention
- Worker interviews to confirm voluntary employment and fair conditions
As part of our modern slavery risk management, we maintain supplier improvement plans and require corrective actions where issues are found. Persistent non-compliance leads to contract termination and escalation within our procurement governance.
Reporting Channels, Whistleblowing and Annual Review
We provide secure reporting channels to encourage concerns to be raised about potential human rights abuses. Reports may be submitted anonymously through established internal mechanisms and are treated with confidentiality and appropriate protection for whistleblowers. Our reporting framework supports timely investigation and proportional response.
The reporting channels include:
- Internal escalation to designated compliance officers
- Third-party hotlines for anonymous disclosures
- Confidential mechanisms for supplier and worker concerns
We commit to an annual review of this modern slavery statement and our anti-slavery measures. Each year the board and senior management assess the effectiveness of our policies, audit outcomes and corrective actions, and update processes to address emerging risks. The annual review ensures continuous improvement across our business and supply chain.
Rent a Cleaner will continue to invest in training, supplier engagement and improved due diligence to reduce the risk of modern slavery. This slavery prevention statement is an active part of our governance, supported by leadership, procurement and operations teams, and embedded in contractual terms with partners.
By maintaining vigilant oversight, robust supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and a formal annual review cycle, Rent a Cleaner reaffirms its unwavering commitment to eliminate modern slavery in all forms from our operations and supply networks.
