Modern Slavery Statement for Park Royal Carpet Cleaners

Park Royal Carpet Cleaners is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. As a trusted Park Royal carpet cleaning provider, we recognise that modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour are serious abuses that have no place in our operations or supply chain. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach and the actions we take to prevent, detect, and address risk.

Our position is clear: we will not knowingly engage with any person, business, or supplier involved in modern slavery. This applies across all areas of our work, including purchasing, subcontracting, transport, cleaning products, equipment sourcing, and support services. The Park Royal carpet cleaners team is expected to uphold ethical standards at all times, and any breach of this principle may result in the termination of a working relationship.

We understand that the risk of exploitation can arise in complex supply chains. For that reason, we require suppliers to confirm their compliance with relevant labour laws and human rights standards before engagement. Our procurement checks are designed to identify warning signs such as unusual payment structures, restricted worker movement, or unclear employment practices. Where concerns are identified, further due diligence is carried out before any contract is approved.

Supplier monitoring is an important part of our approach. We conduct supplier audits on a risk-based schedule, focusing on vendors that provide higher-risk goods or services. These audits may include document reviews, site visits where appropriate, and verification of employment practices. We also expect suppliers of carpet cleaners in Park Royal and related service partners to demonstrate fair recruitment, lawful pay, and safe working conditions. If a supplier cannot meet our standards, we work to improve compliance or disengage responsibly.

Training and awareness are central to prevention. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and supervision are encouraged to recognise the indicators of modern slavery, including signs of coercion, debt bondage, withheld documents, or excessive control over workers. We also promote a culture in which concerns can be raised early. Everyone working for or on behalf of the company must treat suspected abuse seriously and report it without delay.

We provide multiple reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and in confidence. Reports may be made to line managers, senior management, or designated compliance personnel. Concerns can be raised anonymously where permitted, and no one will suffer retaliation for speaking up in good faith. Any allegation is reviewed promptly, documented carefully, and escalated where necessary for further investigation and corrective action.

Where a potential issue is confirmed, we act decisively. Our response may include suspending orders, increasing monitoring, requesting evidence of remediation, or ending a contract if the issue cannot be resolved. We expect all partners to cooperate fully with investigations and to take immediate steps to protect affected workers. Our goal is not only compliance, but also meaningful prevention and remediation across the Park Royal carpet cleaning supply network.

This statement is supported by internal oversight, management accountability, and regular review. We recognise that risks can change over time due to new suppliers, different sourcing routes, or shifts in labour practices. For that reason, the statement, associated controls, and supplier assurance measures are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal and ethical expectations.

Through ongoing diligence, training, and transparent governance, Park Royal Carpet Cleaners continues to strengthen its commitment to responsible trading. We will keep improving our controls, maintaining our zero-tolerance stance, and working with suppliers who share our values. Modern slavery prevention is an essential part of how we operate, and we remain dedicated to protecting people throughout every stage of our business.
