Modern Slavery Statement — Pressure Washing Stratford

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the policies and procedures of Pressure Washing Stratford and its related operations to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in our business and supply chain. As a local provider of cleaning and restoration services, Pressure Washing Stratford is committed to operating ethically. This statement applies to all employees, contractors and supply partners engaged in any pressure washing Stratford project we undertake.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery. Our position is clear: exploitation, forced labour and any practice that deprives people of their freedom or fair compensation will not be tolerated under any circumstances. All staff and suppliers are required to adhere to this policy, and we take decisive action when breaches are identified. Zero tolerance means we will terminate relationships and pursue remediation and reporting if evidence of slavery is found.

Our Commitments

To demonstrate our commitment to preventing modern slavery we have set out the following measures:

• Conducting supplier due diligence and regular supplier audits across our procurement activities.
• Embedding anti-slavery clauses in contracts and purchase orders for suppliers of equipment and labour.
• Providing awareness training for all staff and contract managers to spot and report signs of exploitation.

These steps support our goal to maintain a supply chain free from forced labour and human trafficking and reinforce our accountability as a Stratford pressure washing company.

Recruitment and employment practices are key to prevention. We require appropriate right-to-work checks, transparent wage and hour records, and welfare measures for any personnel engaged by pressure-wash teams. Our recruitment standards apply to direct hires and subcontractors who perform pressure-washing Stratford services, ensuring consistent protection for workers and compliance with employment law.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We carry out targeted supplier audits focusing on high-risk suppliers and regions. Audits include document checks, on-site inspections and interviews where feasible. Audit findings lead to corrective action plans with timelines, and persistent non-compliance results in contract termination. The audit program combines internal checks and independent third-party assessments to strengthen the integrity of our supply chain.

Our procurement team maintains a risk register for vendors, categorising suppliers by function and risk exposure. For critical suppliers we require evidence of policies, worker contracts and payroll verification. Remediation support is offered to suppliers that demonstrate willingness to improve, while immediate action will be taken for suppliers found to be exploiting workers.

We provide clear reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns confidentially. Reports can be submitted anonymously through designated internal channels and are treated seriously and investigated promptly. All whistleblower reports are protected from retaliation. We encourage reporting of any suspicious recruitment practices, withheld wages, restricted movement, or document retention that may indicate modern slavery.

Training, awareness and robust contractual terms support our prevention strategy. Staff receive periodic training on recognising signs of exploitation, and procurement teams are trained on integrating anti-slavery clauses into supplier contracts. As part of our compliance framework, contract managers are responsible for ensuring suppliers meet our ethical standards during routine operations such as residential or commercial pressure wash jobs.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We commit to an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and our policies to ensure effectiveness and to respond to changes in risk. Reviews include evaluation of audit outcomes, reported incidents, remediation success and any legislative changes. Findings from the annual review inform updates to training, supplier selection criteria and monitoring activities. The company leadership endorses this statement and will publish updates each year as part of our ongoing commitment to combat modern slavery.
