Modern Slavery Statement for Move Out Cleaning

Move Out Cleaning is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and throughout our supply chain. We recognize that risks may exist in labor-intensive service sectors, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation, forced labor, child labor, or servitude.

Our Move Out Cleaning approach is built on transparency, lawful employment practices, and responsible procurement. We expect everyone acting on our behalf to uphold these principles, including employees, contractors, and suppliers. We also seek to ensure that our cleaning services, equipment sourcing, and operational partnerships are managed in a way that protects vulnerable workers and promotes ethical working conditions.

To support this commitment, we apply due diligence at multiple stages of supplier engagement. Before onboarding suppliers, we assess their labor practices, ownership structures, and compliance history. Where appropriate, we request written assurances that they do not use forced labor, deceptive recruitment, or exploitative working arrangements. Our modern slavery policy is reinforced through contractual expectations that require suppliers to meet the same ethical standards we demand of ourselves.

Supplier oversight does not stop at onboarding. We conduct supplier audits and periodic reviews based on risk, category, geography, and service type. These audits may include document checks, verification of worker eligibility, and evaluation of wage, hour, and subcontracting practices. If concerns are identified, we seek prompt corrective action and may suspend or terminate the relationship where necessary. This helps ensure that Move Out Cleaning services are supported by responsible business partners.

The company also provides clear reporting channels so employees, contractors, and suppliers can raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Any suspicion of modern slavery, unethical recruitment, abuse of workers, or unsafe labor conditions is treated seriously and investigated promptly. Reports may be made through internal management routes, and concerns are escalated to the appropriate decision-makers for review and action. We encourage early reporting so issues can be addressed before harm escalates.

Training is an important part of our prevention strategy. Relevant staff receive guidance on identifying warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld identity documents, unusual payment arrangements, and evidence of coercion. Managers involved in procurement and operations are expected to apply this awareness when selecting suppliers and overseeing service delivery. Through consistent training, Move Out Cleaning strengthens its ability to recognize and respond to modern slavery risks across the business.

Our procurement standards support ethical sourcing and responsible labor practices. We prefer suppliers who demonstrate lawful hiring, fair pay, and safe working conditions. Where a supplier operates in a higher-risk area, we may require additional assurances, more frequent audits, or supporting evidence of workforce protections. This risk-based approach allows us to focus our efforts where modern slavery exposure may be greatest while maintaining practical oversight across our supply chain.

Move Out Cleaning expects honesty and accountability from all business relationships. Any confirmed breach of our modern slavery expectations is taken seriously and may result in immediate remedial action, contract review, or disengagement. We will not knowingly do business with any organization involved in exploitation or trafficking. This commitment reflects our belief that service excellence must be matched by ethical conduct and zero tolerance for human rights abuse.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, current, and aligned with legal obligations and business developments. As part of the annual review, we consider changes in risk, supplier performance, training needs, and the effectiveness of reporting and audit processes. Improvements identified during the review are incorporated into our policies and procedures so that our anti-slavery approach continues to strengthen over time.

Move Out Cleaning remains committed to continuous improvement in preventing modern slavery and human trafficking. By maintaining a robust modern slavery statement, applying supplier audits, strengthening reporting channels, and reviewing our controls each year, we aim to protect workers and uphold responsible business practices throughout our operations and supply chain.
