Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Stoke Newington

Commitment from Lawn Mowing Stoke Newington leadership

This statement sets out the approach and ongoing actions of Lawn Mowing Stoke Newington and related trading names for preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. We are committed to conducting business responsibly, and we operate a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking. Our Stoke Newington lawn care and grass cutting services are delivered with respect for human rights, and we expect the same from our partners and suppliers.

Scope, principles and zero-tolerance policy

The scope of this policy covers all employees, subcontractors and suppliers engaged by Lawncare Stoke Newington in the provision of grounds maintenance, garden upkeep, and grass cutting in Stoke Newington and surrounding boroughs. We unequivocally adopt a zero-tolerance approach: any allegation or evidence of modern slavery will trigger immediate investigation and proportionate action, up to termination of contracts and referral to appropriate authorities. Our stance is guided by the core principle that every worker must be treated with dignity and fairness.

We maintain clear contractual obligations that require suppliers to comply with anti-slavery legislation and our ethical standards. Suppliers to Stoke Newington grass cutting services must confirm compliance through contractual clauses and periodic documentation. Failure to meet these conditions results in corrective measures or termination.

Supplier due diligence and audits are central to how we mitigate risk across our supply chain. Regular risk assessments identify higher-risk suppliers and activities. For higher-risk relationships we undertake enhanced checks, request documentation confirming employment terms, right-to-work checks, and evidence of safe recruitment practices. We commit to a program of on-site and remote supplier audits to verify working conditions and labour practices in a proportionate manner tailored to the risk profile.

Our supplier audit program includes:

• Document reviews of payroll, contracts and recruitment records;
• Interviews with workers where feasible and safe;
• Remediation plans and monitoring where issues are identified.

Reporting channels are available for employees, contractors, suppliers and the public to raise concerns about potential slavery or trafficking. We provide multiple secure avenues including an internal reporting channel, escalation to managers and a mechanism for anonymous reporting. Reports are treated seriously, investigated confidentially, and protected from retaliation. We have procedures to ensure concerns are assessed, acted upon and escalated to law enforcement where required.

Training and awareness: staff involved in procurement, site supervision and recruitment receive regular training to spot signs of exploitation and to use reporting channels effectively. Training reinforces our expectations for those delivering lawn mowing in Stoke Newington and reinforces how to escalate concerns.

Governance and continuous improvement: responsibility for this statement sits with senior management who review progress and compliance. We maintain records of due diligence checks, audit outcomes and remedial actions. Outcomes from audits feed into supplier performance appraisals and contractual review processes to drive improvement across our network.

We will continue to engage with suppliers, partners and community stakeholders to strengthen protections and raise standards across the local supply chain for Stoke Newington lawn care. Where modern slavery risks are identified, we will seek to remediate harm quickly and fairly, while ensuring the safety and confidentiality of affected individuals.

Review and reporting: this statement is reviewed at least annually and updated to reflect operational changes, emerging risks and the results of supplier audits. Our annual review evaluates the effectiveness of the zero-tolerance policy, supplier due diligence, reporting outcomes and training programmes for lawn mowing services in Stoke Newington.

By maintaining transparent governance, targeted audits and robust reporting channels, Lawn Mowing Stoke Newington reiterates its commitment to eliminate modern slavery from our operations and to work collaboratively toward ethical, safe and lawful labour practices across all aspects of our service delivery.
