Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing New Cross

Lawn Mowing New Cross is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to exploitation, the steps we take in procurement and staffing, and our ongoing actions to protect workers across our lawn care New Cross operations. We recognise that even small businesses in local services must be vigilant and proactive.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour and any form of coercion, debt bondage or involuntary servitude within our supply chain. Our staff and subcontractors are expected to act with integrity and to report concerns. New Cross lawn mowing is built on trust and fair treatment: we ensure pay practices, working hours and recruitment follow legal and ethical standards across every contract.

To support these commitments we use targeted supplier audits and risk assessments. Suppliers and partners providing groundskeeping materials, equipment servicing and seasonal labour are evaluated before onboarding and monitored regularly. Our supplier checks include verification of identity, employment terms and right-to-work documentation where applicable, and reviews of recruitment processes to reduce the risk of exploitation.

Our procurement policy for Lawn Mowing in New Cross includes clear contractual clauses that prohibit modern slavery, require compliance with applicable laws, and grant us access to audit records. We include contractual remedies for non-compliance, up to and including termination. Regular audits combine document reviews and, where risk indicators exist, on-site visits or third-party verification.

We have established multiple reporting channels to make it easy and safe to raise concerns. Staff, contractors and supply chain workers can use anonymous reporting mechanisms, raised directly to senior management, or via secure internal forms. Reports are treated confidentially, investigated promptly and escalated when necessary to protect potential victims and to ensure corrective action.

Key elements of our reporting and response include:

• Anonymous reporting options for workers and third parties;
• Clear investigation procedures with documented timelines;
• Protection and support for affected individuals, including safe referral to appropriate services;
• Remedial action and corrective plans with suppliers when issues are identified.

Training is delivered to employees and regular contractors about recognising signs of modern slavery and the company's expectations. Our training for crew leaders covers practical steps for the day-to-day operations of lawn care New Cross teams and emphasises the importance of verifying the identity and employment status of casual labour and subcontractors.

We also require third-party labour providers and supply partners to commit to our standards. As part of supplier management for lawn mowing New Cross services, we prioritise transparency, traceability and documented processes for recruitment, payment and welfare. Those who cannot demonstrate adequate safeguards are prevented from supply until compliance is achieved.

The board and senior management perform an annual review of our modern slavery risks, policies and mitigation measures. This review assesses audit findings, incident reports, training uptake and any changes in the business or supply chain that may alter risk. The outcomes are used to update policy, refine supplier audit schedules and improve reporting channels to ensure continuous improvement.
