Leah Cleaning Maids Modern Slavery Statement

Leah Cleaning Maids publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to declare our ongoing commitment to preventing forced labour, human trafficking and any form of exploitation in our operations and supply chains. As a professional cleaning services provider, we recognise our responsibility to maintain ethical standards and transparency. This anti-slavery policy sets out the measures we take to ensure a safe, fair and compliant workplace for all staff and contractors.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance policy on slavery, servitude, and forced or compulsory labour. All employees, subcontractors and partners are required to comply with our rules and the law. Any breach of this policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment or contract. We are committed to ensuring that no part of our business, including the extended supply chain, benefits from modern slavery or human trafficking.

To support our zero tolerance approach, Leah Cleaning Maids maintains clear employment practices: recruitment records, right-to-work checks, fair pay and documented working hours. We deliver regular training so that staff can identify signs of exploitation and understand reporting channels. Our modern slavery policy emphasises respect, dignity and the protection of vulnerable workers through practical controls and employee awareness programmes.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We perform due diligence on suppliers and subcontractors to identify and mitigate risk. Supplier selection criteria include ethical standards, labour practices and compliance history. Contract clauses require suppliers to adhere to our Leah Cleaning Maids anti-slavery statement expectations and permit audits where risk is identified. We prioritise partnerships with organisations that share our commitment to human rights.

Audits are conducted on a risk-based schedule and can include document reviews, site visits and third-party verification. Our supplier audits assess recruitment practices, wage payments, accommodation arrangements and the use of labour intermediaries. Findings are recorded and acted upon with corrective action plans; persistent non-compliance leads to contract termination.

We encourage continuous improvement by setting time-bound remediation plans and supporting suppliers with capacity-building resources. Where appropriate, we use screening tools and external expertise to evaluate high-risk sectors. Our procurement team integrates anti-slavery questions into tendering and contract management processes to strengthen prevention and accountability.

Leah Cleaning Maids provides accessible and confidential reporting channels for employees and third parties to raise concerns. We maintain internal reporting lines and encourage workers to speak up without fear of retaliation. Concerns can be escalated through line managers or anonymously via internal whistleblowing procedures. All reports receive a timely, impartial investigation and are documented to ensure appropriate remedial actions.

Investigations into alleged modern slavery incidents are handled sensitively and in accordance with legal requirements. We cooperate with law enforcement and specialist agencies when necessary and provide support to affected individuals, including referrals to competent services. Our response protocol emphasises victim protection, confidentiality and non-retaliation as core principles of our approach.

As part of our governance framework, Leah Cleaning Maids conducts an annual review of this modern slavery policy and our broader compliance programme. The review evaluates the effectiveness of training, supplier audits, reporting mechanisms and remediation outcomes. Performance indicators, lessons learned and emerging risks are used to update procedures and allocate resources for continuous improvement.
