Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Notting Hill

Lawn Mowing Notting Hill is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This statement sets out our approach to risk management, supplier oversight and continuous improvement across our local landscaping and lawn care services. We operate with a zero-tolerance policy to any form of forced labour, exploitation or human trafficking and expect the same standards from our supply chain and subcontractors.

Our commitment extends across every service we provide, whether Notting Hill lawn mowing, residential garden maintenance, or commercial green-space care. We maintain clear policies, training and processes designed to identify, report and remediate any issues that may arise. We will not tolerate modern slavery in any part of our business.

Policy, Due Diligence and Supplier Expectations

As a provider of lawn care Notting Hill services, we maintain a comprehensive set of controls to reduce the risk of slavery and human trafficking. Our due diligence includes pre-engagement checks, mandatory supplier declarations and a requirement that all suppliers adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct. We require documentation of working conditions, pay practices and right-to-work checks for all workers supplied to our operations.

We conduct regular supplier audits and spot checks to verify compliance. Audits focus on recruitment practices, subcontracting chains, payment records and the welfare of workers delivering Notting Hill lawn maintenance. Where non-compliance is identified we set corrective action plans and, if necessary, terminate relationships with suppliers who fail to remediate serious breaches.

Key Controls and Risk Mitigation

• Supplier audits: scheduled and unannounced inspections of supplier operations;
• Contract clauses: modern slavery obligations embedded in supplier agreements;
• Training: staff and management training on indicators of exploitation and reporting procedures;
• Recruitment checks: verification of right-to-work and fair recruitment practices.

We operate clear reporting channels for any concerns related to modern slavery. Employees, contractors and members of the public are encouraged to report suspected exploitation through our internal whistleblowing process and designated confidential reporting lines. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and escalated to senior management where appropriate. Confidentiality and protection from retaliation are assured for those who raise concerns in good faith.

Our reporting channels include anonymous options and clear escalation procedures to ensure timely and fair investigations. Each report triggers a documented investigation that can include on-site verification, review of payroll and recruitment records, interviews with workers and liaising with external agencies where necessary. We document outcomes and corrective measures to prevent recurrence.

Transparency is central to our approach. We maintain records of supplier assessments, audit findings and remediation actions. Where issues are found, we prioritise victim support, including ensuring safe working conditions, facilitating access to legal and social support and collaborating with relevant authorities. Persistent or serious breaches result in contract termination and may be reported to enforcement bodies.

Our leadership is accountable for implementing and overseeing the modern slavery programme across all aspects of our Lawn Mowing Notting Hill operations. Senior management review compliance reports and resource the necessary activities to manage risks effectively. We ensure managers have the authority and training to act on findings from supplier audits and internal investigations.

We maintain a continuous improvement mindset. Lessons learned from audits, worker feedback and industry best practice inform updates to our policies and procedures. We aim to exceed statutory requirements and drive higher ethical standards across the landscaping sector through active engagement with suppliers and partners.

Annual review and reporting: each year we perform a formal review of our policies, audit outcomes and training programmes. The annual review assesses the effectiveness of our controls, identifies emerging risks and sets priorities for the coming year. Results from the review are used to refine supplier selection criteria, audit frequency and staff training content to strengthen protection against slavery and trafficking.

In summary, our approach combines prevention, detection and remediation to address modern slavery risks in local lawn services and broader operations. By enforcing a zero-tolerance policy, performing regular supplier audits, maintaining secure reporting channels and conducting an annual review, Lawn Mowing Notting Hill commits to upholding the highest standards of worker protection and ethical procurement.

We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our measures, engage with partners to drive improvements and ensure that our landscaping and lawn maintenance services operate free from exploitation. Our ongoing goal is to ensure every worker involved in providing Notting Hill lawn mowing and related services is treated with dignity and respect.
