Oven Cleaning Kennington Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement is made by Oven Cleaning Kennington in recognition of our responsibility to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our operations and supply chains. We are committed to conducting our business ethically, transparently, and with integrity, and to ensuring that the rights and dignity of all people connected to our services are respected and protected.

Modern slavery can take many forms, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, child labour, and other forms of exploitation. Oven Cleaning Kennington recognises that every business has a role in identifying, preventing, and addressing these risks, and we take this duty seriously.

Our Zero-Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery

Oven Cleaning Kennington operates under a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We do not accept, condone, or ignore any form of exploitation in our own business or within any part of our supply chain. This applies to all individuals who work for or with us, including employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers.

We expect everyone connected with Oven Cleaning Kennington to uphold the highest standards of conduct and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to labour, human rights, and employment practices. Any breach or suspected breach of our zero-tolerance policy will be treated with utmost seriousness and may result in the termination of contracts or working relationships, as well as referrals to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Our Supply Chain and Supplier Audits

Oven Cleaning Kennington sources products and services such as cleaning materials, equipment, uniforms, and specialist support from a range of suppliers. We recognise that modern slavery risks can occur at various stages of production and distribution, and we are committed to improving visibility and oversight across our supply chain.

We aim to work only with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical labour practices. As part of our due diligence, we assess the policies and practices of key suppliers, including their approach to preventing modern slavery. Where appropriate, we seek assurances that suppliers comply with relevant legislation and maintain fair and safe working conditions.

Oven Cleaning Kennington reserves the right to undertake supplier audits or request evidence of compliance, such as written policies, training records, or statements regarding labour practices. If we identify concerns, we will work with the supplier to address them within a defined timeframe. Failure to make adequate improvements or cooperation may result in the suspension or termination of the business relationship.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Oven Cleaning Kennington encourages an open culture in which concerns about wrongdoing, including modern slavery or human trafficking, can be raised without fear of retaliation or disadvantage. All employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to report any suspicion or knowledge of modern slavery connected to our business.

Concerns may be raised through internal reporting routes, including direct reporting to line managers or senior management. Reports will be treated sensitively and, where reasonably possible, confidentially. We will investigate all reports promptly, fairly, and impartially, and will take appropriate action if any form of exploitation is identified.

No person who raises a genuine concern in good faith will suffer any form of detrimental treatment for doing so. We are committed to protecting whistleblowers and ensuring that they can speak up safely.

Training, Awareness, and Continuous Improvement

Oven Cleaning Kennington is committed to raising awareness of modern slavery among relevant members of our team. Where appropriate, we provide information or guidance on recognising signs of exploitation, understanding our zero-tolerance policy, and using reporting channels responsibly.

We strive to review and strengthen our internal processes so that modern slavery considerations are embedded in our day-to-day operations, procurement decisions, and relationships with partners and suppliers. We recognise that addressing modern slavery risks is an ongoing process and that continuous improvement is essential.

Annual Review and Governance

This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually by the leadership of Oven Cleaning Kennington to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with current legislation and best practice. As part of this review, we consider any incidents reported, outcomes of supplier checks, changes to our operations or supply chain, and evolving external guidance.

Following each review, we will update this statement and any related internal procedures as necessary. By doing so, Oven Cleaning Kennington reaffirms its commitment each year to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking and to promoting ethical and responsible business conduct in all that we do.
