Modern Slavery Statement

Modern Slavery Statement

Date: 27 June 2025

Although Sewa Cleaning And Gardening Services Limited does not meet the threshold under Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings. This statement outlines our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our small but growing operation.

1. About Us
Sewa Cleaning And Gardening Services Limited is a UK-registered startup providing residential and commercial cleaning and gardening services. Our team includes:
– Direct employees
– Subcontractors
– Self-employed operatives

We serve clients locally and source our materials and tools from UK-based suppliers.

2. Our Values and Commitment
We are committed to:
– Ensuring fair, legal, and voluntary work practices
– Preventing exploitation, forced labour, and human trafficking
– Building transparent, ethical supply and labour chains

3. Labour and Contractor Practices
To support our values, we take the following steps:
– Conduct right-to-work checks on everyone we engage
– Use clear agreements for subcontractors and self-employed workers
– Require confirmation that they comply with UK employment law
– Pay fair rates promptly and ensure voluntary working terms

4. Supply Chain and Materials
We primarily purchase equipment and supplies (cleaning agents, gardening tools, uniforms) from reputable UK suppliers. Although we currently do not import products or rely on overseas vendors, we remain mindful of international supply chain risks.

5. Training and Awareness
As a small team, we prioritise:
– Basic training on recognising signs of exploitation
– A clear internal process for raising and handling concerns
– Promoting an open and ethical workplace culture from day one

6. Our Ongoing Commitment
