Brompton Carpetcleaning is committed to operating with integrity, respect, and accountability in every part of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to help prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that slavery and trafficking risks can exist in many industries, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of abuse or coercion.

Our approach applies to employees, temporary workers, contractors, and all suppliers engaged in providing products or services connected to Brompton Carpetcleaning. We expect everyone we work with to share our commitment to ethical conduct and lawful employment practices. Any breach of this position may result in corrective action, suspension of work, or termination of the relationship.

We conduct due diligence to better understand where risks may arise, particularly when sourcing cleaning materials, equipment, uniforms, transport, and outsourced services. As part of our carpet cleaning modern slavery controls, we require suppliers to confirm compliance with labour laws, fair recruitment standards, and safe working conditions. Where needed, we request evidence of wage records, worker eligibility checks, and subcontracting arrangements.

Supplier Oversight and Audits

Supplier monitoring is a central part of our prevention strategy. We use a risk-based approach to supplier audits, prioritising higher-risk relationships, new suppliers, and services involving labour-intensive work. These reviews may include policy checks, document verification, and site-based assessments where appropriate. We also reserve the right to investigate concerns raised during procurement or contract performance.

If a supplier cannot demonstrate adequate safeguards, we will work with them to improve controls within an agreed timeframe. Failure to cooperate, repeated non-compliance, or evidence of exploitative labour practices will lead to escalation and possible removal from our approved supplier list. This helps us strengthen the resilience of Brompton Carpetcleaning modern slavery compliance across the supply chain.

We also train relevant managers to identify indicators of risk, such as worker intimidation, excessive overtime, withheld identity documents, or unexplained recruitment fees. These signs are treated seriously and reviewed promptly so we can act before harm continues.

Reporting Channels and Internal Responsibility

We encourage open reporting and protect anyone who raises concerns in good faith. Concerns about possible modern slavery at Brompton Carpetcleaning can be reported through internal management routes, and all reports are handled confidentially and sensitively. No individual will suffer retaliation for speaking up about suspected wrongdoing.

Responsibility for overseeing this statement rests with senior management, who review risks, monitor supplier performance, and support implementation of our ethical standards. Internal reporting channels are available for workers, contractors, and suppliers to highlight concerns about recruitment practices, labour exploitation, or unsafe working arrangements.

Any allegation of modern slavery is investigated promptly, with appropriate action taken based on the facts. Where necessary, we will involve external specialists, legal advisors, or relevant authorities to ensure that concerns are addressed responsibly and lawfully.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with evolving legal requirements and business practices. Each review considers audit findings, supplier performance, training outcomes, incident reports, and any identified gaps in our controls. The aim is not only compliance, but continuous improvement.
