Modern Slavery Statement — Pressure Washing Plaistow Commitment

Our commitment

At Pressure Washing Plaistow we publish this statement to reaffirm a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This document outlines our policies, controls and ongoing actions to prevent exploitation in all its forms. We expect every colleague, contractor and supplier who works with our Plaistow pressure washing teams to uphold the highest standards of integrity and respect for human rights.

Scope and approach. This statement applies to all activities carried out by our company, including our pressure washer Plaistow assignments, subcontracted cleaning projects and procurement of goods and services. We apply risk-based due diligence to suppliers and contractors, and we maintain a strict policy that any evidence of forced labour, child labour or human trafficking will result in immediate action, including termination of contracts and referral to authorities.

Supplier standards and audits

We require suppliers and partners to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct which explicitly prohibits modern slavery. Our supplier onboarding includes verification of labour practices and identity checks. Where we identify potential risk, we deploy targeted audits and follow-up inspections to ensure corrective action.

Supplier audit program. Our supplier audits are comprehensive and include:

• Verification of worker documentation and legal right to work;
• Review of wage payments, working hours and employment terms;
• Interviews with workers conducted in a confidential and safe manner;
• Site inspections of subcontractors used for pressure washing services in Plaistow and surrounding areas.

Audit findings are recorded, remediated and tracked until closed. Where necessary, we require remediation plans and monitor their implementation. Persistent non-compliance results in contract termination and escalation.

Reporting channels and protection

We maintain accessible, confidential reporting channels so staff and third parties can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made anonymously and are treated seriously. Our investigation process is impartial, timely and documented, with protections for whistleblowers and support for affected workers.

To encourage awareness, we provide training on modern slavery risks to operational teams, supervisors and procurement staff, with specific modules for Plaistow pressure washing operatives. Training covers recognising signs of exploitation, how to escalate concerns and the legal obligations of our workforce.

Remediation and support. When a case of exploitation is found, our priority is the safety and welfare of the victim. We work with local authorities and specialist agencies to secure appropriate support, ensure safe working conditions and implement remedies. We record lessons learned and adapt policies to prevent recurrence.

Continuous improvement and review

We conduct an annual review of our modern slavery risks, controls and outcomes. This review assesses the effectiveness of supplier audits, training uptake, incident response and our overall governance framework. Findings from the annual review are presented to senior management and used to update policies, improve procedures and prioritise resources.

Performance indicators. We track a set of key performance indicators including number of supplier audits completed, incidents reported, remedial actions closed and staff trained. These metrics are monitored throughout the year to ensure continuous improvement across our Plaistow pressure washing operations and wider supply chain.

Declaration. Pressure Washing Plaistow remains fully committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking. We adopt a zero-tolerance stance, undertake regular supplier audits, provide clear and protected reporting channels, and complete an annual review to ensure progress and accountability. This statement is made in good faith and will be reviewed and updated regularly to reflect evolving best practice and legal requirements.
