Modern Slavery Statement — Maya House Cleaners

Maya House Cleaners is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This modern slavery statement sets out our approach to identifying, preventing and addressing forced labour, exploitation and other forms of coercion within our business and supply chain. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of slavery and exploitation, and this anti-slavery statement reflects our ongoing commitment to ethical labour practices.

We recognise the responsibility of a cleaning and facilities services provider to maintain high standards of worker welfare. Our slavery and human trafficking statement applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Maya House Cleaners. We expect every partner and supplier to adhere to the same principles and to cooperate with our measures designed to prevent modern slavery, including transparency on labour practices and employee protections.

To ensure compliance, we conduct regular supplier risk assessments and supplier audits. Our procurement protocols include documented checks on worker contracts, recruitment practices and working conditions. Key steps we take include:

• Pre-engagement screening of new suppliers for labour risk and sourcing origins.
• Contractual clauses requiring suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws.
• Periodic on-site and remote auditing to verify employment records and wage payment practices.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Training

Our zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery and forced labour is enforced across all business units. Employees receive training on recognising signs of exploitation, appropriate reporting procedures and the standards expected of our supply chain. The policy emphasises that any suspected incident of modern slavery or coercive labour must be escalated immediately and investigated promptly and impartially.

We maintain multiple reporting channels to make it easier for workers, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns. These reporting channels include anonymous internal reporting, designated HR escalation pathways and a secure whistleblowing process. All reports are treated confidentially and investigated according to a documented process. Under our anti-slavery statement, retaliation against anyone who raises genuine concerns will not be tolerated.

Where supplier audits identify non-compliance, we act swiftly with proportionate remedies: corrective action plans, targeted re-audits and, where breaches are severe or unresolved, termination of the commercial relationship. Our commercial teams are empowered to suspend or end contracts with suppliers who fail to remedy critical gaps in worker protections or who engage in exploitative practices.

Monitoring, Assurance and Annual Review

We continually monitor the effectiveness of this modern slavery policy and our slavery prevention measures. Performance indicators include the number of supplier audits completed, remediation actions taken and training completion rates across our workforce. Internal compliance reviews and external assurance activities support ongoing improvement.

An annual review of the Maya House Cleaners modern slavery statement is conducted by senior leadership. This review evaluates policy effectiveness, audit findings, any incidents reported through our reporting channels and emerging risks in the supply chain. The review informs updated actions, strengthens controls and allocates resources to areas of greatest vulnerability.

In conclusion, our slavery and human trafficking statement is an integral part of Maya House Cleaners’ commitment to ethical operations. We will continue to enforce a zero-tolerance approach, enhance supplier audits, maintain accessible reporting mechanisms and undertake a thorough annual review to reduce the risk of modern slavery throughout our business and supply chain. This anti-slavery statement will be revisited and updated as necessary to reflect evolving best practice and legislative expectations.
