Oven Cleaning Haringey Modern Slavery Statement

Oven Cleaning Haringey is committed to conducting all aspects of our business in an ethical and responsible manner. We recognise that modern slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, and human trafficking are severe violations of fundamental human rights. This statement explains the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address the risk of modern slavery within our operations and supply chains.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery in all its forms. This policy applies to all individuals working for or on behalf of Oven Cleaning Haringey at every level, including employees, agency workers, contractors, suppliers, and other business partners. We will not knowingly engage with any organisation or individual involved in modern slavery or human trafficking and will terminate relationships where credible concerns are identified and not promptly remedied.

Our leadership team is responsible for promoting a culture of integrity and respect. We expect everyone associated with our business to share our commitment to upholding human rights and to act in a way that supports fair working conditions and lawful employment practices.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Oven Cleaning Haringey provides professional oven and appliance cleaning services. Our supply chain includes cleaning product manufacturers and distributors, equipment suppliers, uniform providers, and occasional subcontracted service providers. While our operations are relatively low risk compared with some industries, we acknowledge that no sector is free from the possibility of modern slavery. We therefore strive to maintain visibility over who we work with and how they operate.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We expect all suppliers and service providers to comply with applicable labour, employment, and human rights legislation. As part of our supplier selection and ongoing management process, we communicate our zero-tolerance stance and require suppliers to confirm that they do not engage in modern slavery or human trafficking.

Where appropriate, we conduct proportionate due diligence and audits of our suppliers. This may include requesting information on their employment practices, verifying the legality of their labour, and assessing their own supply chain oversight. If we identify any potential issues, we will seek clarification, request corrective actions, or, if necessary, suspend or end the relationship. We prioritise working with suppliers who demonstrate clear and transparent commitments to ethical labour practices.

Employee Awareness and Responsibilities

All individuals working for Oven Cleaning Haringey are expected to help prevent and identify modern slavery risks. We promote awareness of this statement and encourage staff to be alert to potential indicators of exploitation, such as signs of coercion, restricted freedom of movement, withholding of documents, or unreasonable working conditions within our operations or those of our suppliers.

Managers are responsible for ensuring that recruitment and staffing practices are lawful, transparent, and voluntary. We verify the identity and right to work of our employees and do not charge recruitment fees or permit any form of debt bondage or forced labour.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing

We encourage anyone connected with Oven Cleaning Haringey, including employees, contractors, suppliers, and members of the public, to report concerns about modern slavery or human trafficking. Reports can be made verbally or in writing to management or through established internal reporting routes. We will treat all concerns seriously and, where appropriate, investigate promptly and sensitively.

We do not tolerate victimisation or retaliation against any person who raises a concern in good faith, even if it is not ultimately substantiated. Information will be handled as confidentially as possible, and we will take appropriate action where evidence of wrongdoing is found.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

Oven Cleaning Haringey is committed to continuously improving our approach to tackling modern slavery. We will review this statement and our related procedures at least once every year or sooner if required by changes in legislation, guidance, or our business operations. As part of this review, we will assess the effectiveness of our actions, consider feedback from stakeholders, and update our practices where necessary to strengthen our prevention measures.

This Modern Slavery Statement reflects the position of Oven Cleaning Haringey at the date of publication and has been approved by the leadership of the business. It represents our ongoing commitment to act ethically, to respect human rights, and to work towards eradicating modern slavery in all forms within our operations and supply chains.
