Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy Statement – Polly Housekeeping

Last Updated: 25.11.24

Our Commitment

At Polly Housekeeping, we stand firmly against modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms. Our business operations and supply chain are governed by a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and we are devoted to conducting all business relationships with the highest ethical standards and integrity.

Our Business

As providers of professional housekeeping services in London, we recognise our duty to remain vigilant against the risks of modern slavery, however minimal they might appear, within our business operations and supply chain.

Our Policies

The foundation of our ethical business conduct rests upon several crucial policies. We maintain thorough recruitment procedures that include comprehensive right-to-work documentation checks. Our staff members are encouraged to report any concerns through our confidential reporting system. We ensure fair compensation for all employees, with payment rates at or above the London Living Wage. Regular welfare checks and open channels of communication are standard practice.

Due Diligence and Training

We regularly audit our hiring practices and verify the right to work status of all staff members. Our management team receives specialised training in identifying signs of modern slavery, and we conduct thorough background checks on our suppliers. Regular staff interviews and welfare checks form an integral part of our operational procedures. Checks by Phone, Messages or interviews will be documented to ensure the welfare of staff.

Supply Chain Standards

We expect exemplary standards from our suppliers regarding modern slavery prevention. This includes adherence to all applicable laws and regulations, maintenance of their own prevention policies, proper supply chain due diligence, and prompt reporting of any concerns.

Reporting Concerns

We encourage forthright communication about any modern slavery concerns. Team members may speak with their supervisor, contact our designated welfare officer, use our confidential reporting procedure, or reach out to the Modern Slavery Helpline on 0800 0121 700.

Our Effectiveness

We evaluate our success in preventing modern slavery through various means, including staff engagement levels, reported concerns, welfare check results, supply chain assessments, and training completion rates.

Board Approval

This statement, made in accordance with section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, has received full approval from Polly Housekeeping’s management team.
