Move Out Cleaning Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions taken by Move Out Cleaning to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically, transparently, and with integrity in all our business dealings, and to implementing effective systems and controls to safeguard the rights and wellbeing of all workers associated with our services.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

Move Out Cleaning maintains a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This commitment applies to every area of our business, including direct employees, agency staff, contractors, and suppliers. We do not knowingly engage with any organisation that supports, condones, or is found to be involved in modern slavery or exploitative labour practices.

All managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring that our zero-tolerance policy is clearly communicated and consistently applied. Any confirmed breach of this policy will result in decisive action, which may include termination of contracts, suspension of relationships, or referral of matters to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Risk Assessment and Due Diligence

We periodically assess the risk of modern slavery within our business operations and supply chains, focusing on factors such as the type of work performed, geographical location, and the use of temporary or third-party labour. Where higher risks are identified, we apply enhanced due diligence and oversight measures.

Our due diligence processes for new suppliers and contractors include checks on labour practices, worker protections, and compliance with relevant employment and human rights legislation. We expect our partners to demonstrate transparency in their own supply chains and to implement robust measures to prevent forced or trafficked labour.

Supplier Standards and Audits

Move Out Cleaning expects all suppliers and subcontractors to uphold our standards on ethical conduct, fair treatment, and legal compliance. We require suppliers to ensure that workers are employed voluntarily, paid fairly, and provided with safe and respectful working conditions.

To support these expectations, we conduct supplier assessments and audits that may include reviewing documentation, policies, and, where appropriate, on-site inspections. These audits are designed to verify compliance with labour laws, confirm the absence of forced or child labour, and assess worker welfare. Where gaps or areas of concern are identified, we work with suppliers on corrective action plans, and we reserve the right to end relationships where improvements are not made within reasonable timeframes.

Training, Awareness, and Reporting Channels

We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff and key partners. Managers and relevant employees receive guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation, understanding our reporting procedures, and responding appropriately to concerns. This training is refreshed periodically to ensure knowledge remains current.

Move Out Cleaning encourages anyone connected with our business, including workers within our supply chains, to speak up if they suspect or witness any form of modern slavery, trafficking, or abusive practices. Concerns can be reported confidentially through internal reporting routes or directly to senior management. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled sensitively, with the aim of protecting individuals from retaliation and ensuring that issues are addressed effectively.

Continuous Improvement and Annual Review

We recognise that combating modern slavery is an ongoing responsibility and that our practices must evolve in response to emerging risks, regulatory changes, and best practice guidance. Move Out Cleaning therefore commits to reviewing this Modern Slavery Statement and our related procedures at least once every year.

The annual review considers the effectiveness of our risk assessments, due diligence activities, supplier audits, and training measures. It also evaluates any incidents, investigations, or reported concerns and the lessons learned from them. Where improvements are identified, we update our policies, strengthen controls, and communicate changes to relevant stakeholders.

This Modern Slavery Statement has been approved by the leadership of Move Out Cleaning and reflects our continuing dedication to an ethical, transparent, and responsible approach to business and supply chain management.
