Oven Cleaning Camden Modern Slavery Statement

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps Oven Cleaning Camden has taken, and continues to take, to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking within our business operations and supply chains. We are committed to acting ethically, transparently, and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships.

Our Business and Supply Chain

Oven Cleaning Camden provides professional oven and appliance cleaning services. Our activities are primarily based within the United Kingdom and rely on a combination of directly engaged staff, contractors, and a range of suppliers who provide cleaning products, equipment, uniforms, and support services.

We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms, including forced labour, bonded labour, child labour, human trafficking, and other exploitative practices. Even though we operate in a relatively low-risk sector, we are aware that risks can exist in supply chains, particularly in the sourcing and manufacture of cleaning products, tools, uniforms, and ancillary services.

Zero-Tolerance Approach to Modern Slavery

Oven Cleaning Camden has a clear zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and human trafficking. We will not knowingly engage with or support any organisation, supplier, or individual that is involved in, or associated with, modern slavery practices.

This commitment applies to all aspects of our operations. We expect everyone working for us or on our behalf to share our stance and adhere to the same high standards. Any breach of this policy by employees, contractors, or suppliers may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, and, where appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities.

Supplier Standards and Audits

We are committed to working only with suppliers that uphold the same ethical principles and respect for human rights that we do. Our supplier expectations include compliance with all applicable labour, health and safety, and human rights laws, as well as the prohibition of forced, compulsory, or child labour.

When engaging new suppliers, we assess their policies and practices relating to labour standards and modern slavery. Existing suppliers are periodically reviewed to ensure they continue to meet our expectations. Where proportionate and practical, we may carry out supplier audits, which can include requesting documentation, reviewing policies and procedures, and seeking assurances regarding workforce conditions and recruitment practices.

If a supplier is unable or unwilling to demonstrate adequate safeguards against modern slavery, we will take appropriate steps, which may include working with them to improve standards within a specified timeframe or ending the business relationship.

Reporting Concerns and Whistleblowing

Oven Cleaning Camden encourages a culture of openness where employees, contractors, and other stakeholders feel able to raise genuine concerns about possible instances of modern slavery or unethical treatment of workers without fear of retaliation.

Concerns can be raised through internal reporting channels, including direct reporting to line managers or senior management. All reports are taken seriously and will be treated confidentially as far as is reasonably possible. We will investigate any concerns promptly, fairly, and sensitively, and we will take appropriate action where evidence of wrongdoing is found.

We are committed to protecting anyone who raises a concern in good faith from victimisation or detrimental treatment. Retaliation against individuals who report concerns will not be tolerated and may result in disciplinary action.

Training and Awareness

We recognise the importance of ensuring that our team members understand the risks of modern slavery and know how to identify potential warning signs. Where relevant, we provide guidance and information to employees and managers on recognising indicators of exploitation and the correct procedures for reporting concerns.

We also engage with key suppliers to promote awareness of modern slavery issues and to reinforce our expectations for ethical conduct and responsible employment practices throughout the supply chain.

Monitoring, Accountability and Annual Review

Oven Cleaning Camden is committed to continually improving our approach to tackling modern slavery. Responsibilities for overseeing our modern slavery commitments rest with senior management, who monitor compliance, assess risks, and consider any identified incidents or near misses.

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed at least annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. As part of this review, we will evaluate the effectiveness of our policies, supplier checks, audits, and reporting mechanisms, and we will update our approach where necessary to strengthen our safeguards.

This statement is made on behalf of Oven Cleaning Camden and reflects our ongoing commitment to uphold human rights, dignity, and fairness in everything we do.
