Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Ealing

Lawn Mowing Ealing is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of its business or supply chain. This statement sets out our approach, reflecting a zero-tolerance position to forced labour, servitude and exploitation. Our policies apply across all services including lawn-care Ealing, domestic and commercial contracts and to anyone working on our behalf. We publish our commitment and ensure it is available to staff, suppliers and stakeholders.

We operate a clear zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and expect all contractors and suppliers to meet the same standard. Our leadership team is accountable for compliance and we require managers to apply consistent checks during recruitment and procurement. Staff training emphasises how to recognise signs of exploitation and the immediate steps to take. Respect for human rights is embedded in our ethos and operational procedures for all Ealing lawn mowing activities.

Our risk-based approach includes supplier due diligence, contract clauses and regular reviews of working conditions for subcontractors engaged in lawn mowing services in Ealing and neighbouring areas. We maintain a supplier code of conduct and insist that all partners confirm compliance with anti-slavery obligations. Suppliers who fail to comply risk contract termination and remediation requirements; we will act promptly to protect any affected workers.

Supply Chain Assurance and Supplier Audits

We conduct targeted supplier audits and periodic site visits for high-risk partners. Audits assess recruitment practices, wage payment, working hours and right-to-work documentation. Where risks are identified we implement corrective action plans, monitor progress and may withhold further work until satisfactory improvement is demonstrated. Our procurement team keeps records of audit findings and follows up to ensure corrective measures are effective.

We use a combination of documentary checks, on-site inspections and third-party verifications for more complex supply chains. This layered approach helps mitigate hidden risks in the provision of equipment, landscaping materials and subcontract labour. Suppliers are required to provide transparency on their own subcontractors and to allow access for audit or independent assessment.

Key audit elements include:

• Verification of worker identity and employment status;
• Review of pay records and working time;
• Assessment of recruitment fees and contractual terms;
• Checks on living conditions where accommodation is provided.

Reporting Channels and Protection for Whistleblowers

We maintain clear, confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about potential modern slavery issues. Reports can be made internally through line managers or designated compliance contacts, and all reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and documented. We provide protections against retaliation for anyone who raises legitimate concerns in good faith and encourage early reporting to ensure effective response and support for potential victims.

As part of our response protocols, we collaborate with relevant authorities, charities and specialist advisers where appropriate to secure support and remediation for affected individuals. We do not tolerate any form of victim-blaming; our priority is safety, recovery and appropriate redress. Performance metrics related to reporting and resolution are reviewed by senior management.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: We commit to an annual review of this statement and our policies, ensuring they remain effective and aligned with legal obligations and emerging best practice. The review includes results from supplier audits, training completion rates, incident reports and remediation outcomes. Findings inform updates to policy, improved due diligence processes and targeted training for staff involved in procurement and operations.
