Modern Slavery Statement — Pressure Washing Forest Gate

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitments of Pressure Washing Forest Gate and its affiliates to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations and supply chain. As a local provider of pressure washing and exterior cleaning services, including pressure washing in Forest Gate and broader forest gate pressure washing projects, we recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights. Our stance is clear: we have a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery.

We publish this statement to explain our approach to identifying and addressing risks related to exploitation, labour coercion and unfair working conditions. The statement applies to all workers engaged directly by Pressure Washing Forest Gate, subcontractors and suppliers providing goods and services to support our pressure wash Forest Gate operations. We seek to embed anti-slavery principles into procurement, contracting and daily operational practice.

Our zero-tolerance policy is explicit: any credible allegation of forced labour, unpaid or withheld wages, restriction of movement, or withholding of personal documents will trigger immediate investigation and action. We will terminate relationships with suppliers found to be complicit in modern slavery and take steps to remediate impacted workers where possible. This stance on Pressure Washing Forest Gate modern slavery prevention is non-negotiable and forms part of our contractual terms.

Policies, Training and Risk Management

We maintain policies that reinforce our commitment: an anti-slavery policy, a modern slavery risk protocol, and clear procurement standards for suppliers of pressure washing equipment, cleaning chemicals and labour hire. All staff, including managers and operatives engaged in pressure washing in Forest Gate projects, receive training to recognise signs of exploitation and to escalate concerns. Training emphasises rights, reporting and how to act safely when suspicious situations arise.

We conduct risk assessments across our operations and supply chain, prioritising higher-risk activities such as temporary labour, subcontracted cleaning crews and overseas-sourced materials. Risk factors considered include recruitment practices, wage and hours compliance, accommodation provision and the presence of third-party labour providers. We apply enhanced checks where necessary and require suppliers to demonstrate ethical recruitment and transparent payroll practices.

Supplier audits form a core part of our assurance program. We implement a combination of desk-based reviews, documentary checks and on-site inspections to verify compliance. Key audit criteria include:

• Proof of lawful right to work and robust recruitment records;
• Verification of wage payments, working hours and rest breaks;
• Evidence of health and safety training and safe working systems for pressure wash Forest Gate teams;
• Contractual clauses prohibiting forced labour and allowing audits;
• Remediation plans for any non-compliance identified.

Reporting Channels, Assurance and Annual Review

We provide multiple reporting channels to ensure concerns about modern slavery can be raised safely and confidentially. Employees and third parties can escalate matters through line managers, senior compliance officers or an anonymous reporting mechanism. Reports are treated seriously; we commit to timely, impartial investigations and, where appropriate, referral to the relevant authorities. All reports are handled with respect for confidentiality and protection from reprisal.

Our procurement and compliance teams oversee supplier performance and corrective action plans. Where audits identify shortcomings, suppliers must implement time-bound remediation measures and accept follow-up verification. Strong contractual remedies, including suspension or termination, are available and will be used where remediation fails or where exploitation is confirmed. We will also seek to support victims, cooperating with authorities and specialist organisations as required.

This statement is approved by the leadership of Pressure Washing Forest Gate and will be reviewed at least annually to assess effectiveness and to update policies, training and audit priorities as needed. We will continue to refine our approach, informed by audit findings, stakeholder engagement and evolving best practice, to ensure that our pressure wash Forest Gate services remain free from modern slavery and exploitation. By maintaining vigilance, strong supplier oversight and clear reporting channels we reaffirm our zero tolerance position and our ongoing commitment to human rights.
