Driveway Power Washing Modern Slavery Statement

Driveway Power Washing Ltd is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chain. This statement sets out our approach to ensuring workers involved in driveway power washing, driveway pressure washing and related driveway cleaning services are treated fairly and ethically. We operate a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, servitude, debt bondage or human trafficking.

We expect the same high standards from our suppliers, subcontractors and partners who support our driveway powerwash and residential surface cleaning operations. Our core principles are transparency, accountability and continuous improvement. We train staff to recognise signs of exploitation and encourage an environment where safeguarding and ethical treatment are priorities.

As part of our compliance framework we publish clear policies and require all vendors involved in pressure cleaning driveways or related services to demonstrate adherence to labour laws and ethical sourcing. We maintain records of supplier attestations and contractual clauses that prohibit modern slavery. Our procurement process for driveway surface cleaning products, equipment rental and labour services includes evaluation criteria that assesses labour practices, wage compliance and worker welfare.

We operate a programme of supplier audits and assessments. These audits include documentation reviews, risk-based site visits and worker interviews where practicable. Our supplier audit checklist covers employment contracts, payment records, identity verification, working hours and health and safety measures specific to driveway pressure washing and driveway cleaning operations. Where third-party audits are used, we require accredited auditors and documented corrective action plans.

Reporting channels and whistleblowing

Employees, contractors and suppliers are encouraged to raise concerns about potential slavery or trafficking through multiple reporting channels. We provide an anonymous reporting mechanism and clear escalation routes to senior management for swift investigation. All reports are treated confidentially and investigated thoroughly. Retaliation against reporters is strictly prohibited and will result in disciplinary action.

Our approach to incident response includes immediate risk assessment, worker protection measures and engagement with local authorities or NGOs when necessary. We will suspend contractual relationships with any partner found to be non-compliant until remedial actions are completed and verified. Victim support and remediation are central to our response, prioritising safe outcomes for affected individuals.

To reinforce our stance we have internal responsibilities assigned: senior leadership oversees modern slavery compliance, procurement manages supplier screening, and operations teams ensure on-site standards for power washing driveways are met. Training programs cover recruitment checks, identification of coercive practices, and ethical labour sourcing for both permanent and seasonal workers engaged in driveway power washing roles.

Supplier expectations and corrective action

We require suppliers to provide evidence of lawful employment and to cooperate with audits. Where non-conformance is identified we implement a graduated response: time-bound corrective action plans, monitoring and, if necessary, termination of agreements. Our supplier code of conduct explicitly forbids the use of forced or bonded labour in any part of the supply chain for driveway cleaning, driveway pressure washing or ancillary services.

We commit to an annual review of our policies and practices to ensure effectiveness and alignment with evolving legislation and international standards. Each year we will publish an updated statement on the steps taken, audit outcomes and improvements made across all aspects of our driveway surface cleaning and power washing activities. Continuous improvement drives our efforts to eliminate modern slavery risks and to uphold human rights throughout our operations.
