Modern Slavery Statement for Lawn Mowing Forest Gate

Lawn Mowing Forest Gate is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of its operations. This statement outlines our corporate approach to identifying, managing and mitigating the risk of forced labour, debt bondage, and other forms of exploitation across our services, including Lawn Mowing in Forest Gate and related Forest Gate lawn care activities. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery and expect the same standards from our suppliers and subcontractors.

Scope and Commitment

Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers that support our Forest Gate lawn mowing service. We assess risk across recruitment, on-site work, procurement and supply chains. Key commitments include:

• Zero-tolerance policy: no form of modern slavery will be permitted or tolerated within our operations.
• Responsible procurement: suppliers are expected to meet our standards and pass due diligence checks.
• Reporting and remediation: clear channels to report concerns and remedial steps where issues are identified.

Policy and Expectations

Our modern slavery policy requires that all workers engaged by Lawn Mowing Forest Gate receive fair pay, have freedom of movement and are not required to surrender identity documents. We provide guidance to managers on recruitment checks and maintain written contracts for the work we commission. Any breach of policy leads to investigation and appropriate action, up to and including termination of contracts with suppliers or individuals found non-compliant.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct targeted supplier audits for partners within the supply chain who provide materials, landscaping labour, machinery or subcontracted gardening teams. Audits include documentation reviews, interviews and where necessary, site inspections. Our supplier assessment framework evaluates:

• worker contracts and pay records
• recruitment practices and use of agencies
• health and safety compliance
• evidence of training and worker communication. Where audits reveal concerns, we require corrective action plans and monitor progress until satisfactory resolution.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We maintain confidential reporting channels for employees, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made through internal hotlines and anonymously where preferred. We commit to:

• Protecting whistleblowers: ensuring confidentiality and non-retaliation.
• Investigating promptly: timely and thorough investigations by trained staff.
• Remediating harm: supporting victims and taking corrective action with suppliers.

Training, Governance and Annual Review

Training on modern slavery risks and safe reporting is provided to our management and procurement teams. Governance sits with senior leadership who review compliance and performance against defined KPIs. We perform an annual review of our policy, audit outcomes and supplier performance to strengthen controls, enhance supplier selection and refine risk-mitigation actions.

Performance Indicators and Continuous Improvement

We track the number of supplier audits completed, incidents reported, corrective action plans enacted and training hours delivered. These metrics inform continuous improvement and help prioritise high-risk areas for future audits and engagement. Our approach balances proactive prevention, rapid detection and effective remediation.

Final Statement of Commitment Lawn Mowing Forest Gate, including all branches and service lines such as Forest Gate lawn mowing and local lawn care services, affirms its commitment to combat modern slavery. We will continue to strengthen our processes, engage transparently with suppliers, provide clear reporting channels and undertake annual reviews to ensure our zero-tolerance stance is upheld.

Approval and Review: This statement is endorsed by our leadership and will be reviewed at least once every year. We remain resolute that exploitation has no place in our business, our supply chain or the communities we serve in Forest Gate.
