Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Hatch End

Lawn Mowing Hatch End is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, child labour, debt bondage and any form of exploitation across our lawn care supply chain. This statement sets out the steps we take across Hatch End lawn mowing and related services to identify, mitigate and address modern slavery risks, and to promote ethical labour practices.

Our commitment as a local provider of Hatch End lawn mowing and Hatch End lawn maintenance services is embedded in our procurement, recruitment and operational procedures. We expect every colleague, contractor and supplier who works with our hatch end lawn care teams to adhere to the same high standards and to respect human rights. All staff are briefed on the policy and receive training to recognise signs of exploitation and to respond appropriately.

We conduct due diligence when engaging new suppliers for lawn mowing services Hatch End and when renewing contracts. This includes background checks, verification of worker documentation where permitted by law, and targeted risk assessments for high-risk services such as seasonal labour or subcontracted landscaping. Our supply chain transparency measures reduce the likelihood that modern slavery can occur within our operations or among those who support our lawn mowing services in Hatch End.

Supplier Audits, Controls and Expectations

We operate a programme of supplier audits and controls to ensure compliance with our anti-slavery standards. Audits include document reviews, on-site visits when feasible, and third-party verifications. Where an audit identifies concerns, we require corrective action plans with clear timelines. Persistent non-compliance results in contract termination to protect workers and the integrity of our Hatch End lawn care operations.

Our supplier audit process includes:

• Verification of labour practices and working conditions for all contractors and subcontractors;
• Checks on recruitment practices to ensure no fees are charged to workers;
• Assessment of payroll, working hours and accommodation where provided;
• Follow-up audits and remediation tracking until issues are resolved.

We also include anti-slavery clauses in our supplier contracts and require suppliers to cascade these expectations down their subcontractor networks. This ensures a consistent approach across lawn mowing Hatch End supply chains and supports a culture of accountability.

Reporting Channels and Worker Protection

We maintain multiple secure reporting channels so employees, contractors and the public can report suspected modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports may be raised anonymously and will be treated seriously. Our reporting and investigation protocol ensures that concerns are escalated to senior management and, where appropriate, external authorities for investigation. We protect whistleblowers and provide support to anyone affected by exploitation.

Examples of protections and responses include:

• Immediate safety assessments and, where required, referrals to support services;
• Temporary reassignment or suspension of suspect contractual relationships pending investigation;
• Remediation measures for affected workers, including back pay where appropriate and assistance to access legal or social support;
• Disciplinary action or termination for employees or suppliers found to be complicit in modern slavery.

We are committed to transparency and continual improvement. Our policies are reviewed to reflect evolving legal requirements and best practice in modern slavery prevention.

As part of our governance, Lawn Mowing Hatch End performs an annual review of our modern slavery policies, supplier audit programmes and training effectiveness. This review is undertaken by senior leadership and informs updates to contract terms, procurement criteria and staff development plans. The annual review ensures our Hatch End lawn mowing operations remain vigilant and responsive to new risks.

Through ongoing engagement with suppliers, local partners and employees, and with a clear zero-tolerance stance, Lawn Mowing Hatch End aims to be a responsible local employer and service provider. We will continue to strengthen our practices so that every aspect of our lawn mowing services in Hatch End upholds the dignity and rights of workers.
