Modern Slavery Statement for Oven Cleaning Services
Our Commitment and Scope
Oven Cleaning Services provides professional oven cleaning and related maintenance with a clear and uncompromising stance: we operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This statement covers all aspects of our oven cleaners, commercial oven cleaning engagements and residential oven cleaning activities, and sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent and remediate any risks.
We recognise that those who provide oven cleaning service work in varied environments and that risks can arise at different stages of the supply chain. Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers, and we require that all partners uphold these standards. The policy is both preventative and responsive, ensuring that anyone involved with our oven-cleaning services is treated with dignity and fairness.
To operationalise this commitment we have implemented a range of measures designed to detect and deter exploitation. Key elements include targeted supplier audits, contractual clauses requiring compliance, and clear reporting channels. These controls support the integrity of our cleaning crews, subcontracted providers and those supplying materials for oven and kitchen cleaning.
- Mandatory supplier due diligence and audit processes
- Contractual obligations that prohibit forced labour and exploitation
- Training and awareness for managers and staff across oven cleaning teams
Our supply chain due diligence is risk-based and proportionate to the nature of the relationship. For large or high-risk suppliers we carry out enhanced checks, including verification of employment practices, working hours and recruitment processes for staff engaged in professional oven cleaning. We use a combination of document reviews, onsite assessments and third-party checks to corroborate compliance.

Supplier audits are a cornerstone of our approach. Audits are conducted by trained auditors and include interviews, payroll reviews and inspection of recruitment documentation. Findings are acted upon through corrective action plans, and persistent non-compliance can lead to termination of supply agreements. Our procurement teams work closely with suppliers of cleaning chemicals, protective equipment and labour providers to ensure the highest standards.
We embed anti-slavery provisions into contracts and purchase orders for every oven cleaning service engagement. These clauses require suppliers to permit audits, maintain accurate records and notify us promptly of any suspected breaches. Suppliers failing to meet these standards will be given clear timelines to remediate issues, and we reserve the right to suspend or terminate relationships where necessary.
Reporting, Remediation and Continuous Improvement
We maintain accessible reporting channels that enable employees, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about potential modern slavery, exploitation or unethical practices. Reports are handled confidentially and investigated promptly by our compliance team. We have a non-retaliation policy to protect whistleblowers and support victims, ensuring safe referral pathways for remediation and support.

Our approach to remediation is survivor-centred and practical: we prioritise safety, provide immediate support where needed and cooperate with authorities and specialist organisations when necessary. Lessons from investigations feed back into training for our oven cleaners and management, helping to prevent recurrence and strengthen our protective measures.
