Modern Slavery Statement for Lawn Mowing Haringey

We, Lawn Mowing Haringey, are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our business and supply chain. This statement sets out our approach and the steps we take to ensure a zero-tolerance stance on forced labour, debt bondage, involuntary servitude and human trafficking across our local lawn care, garden maintenance and groundskeeping operations in Haringey and surrounding boroughs.

Our policies apply to every worker, contractor and supplier engaged on behalf of the company. We recognise that lawn mowing in Haringey and related green services can involve vulnerable workers and seasonal labour, and we therefore apply proportionate due diligence to reduce risk and protect people. This statement is published annually and reflects our ongoing efforts to strengthen ethical practices.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery. That policy requires immediate action when concerns are identified: affected workers will be protected, incidents will be investigated, and contractual relationships will be reviewed or terminated as necessary. All managers and frontline supervisors are trained to recognise signs of exploitation and to follow safeguarding procedures that prioritise the welfare of the individual.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Our supplier due diligence framework for Haringey lawn services includes risk assessments, contractual obligations and periodic reviews. We require suppliers to confirm compliance with anti-slavery laws and to demonstrate safe working conditions, lawful pay and proper documentation for all workers. New suppliers undergo screening before appointment and high-risk providers are subject to enhanced checks.

We conduct supplier audits on a risk-led basis. Audits may be implemented through a combination of remote document checks, self-assessment questionnaires and on-site visits where necessary. These audits assess recruitment practices, sub-contracting arrangements, pay records and worker interviews. Findings are recorded and used to inform corrective action plans, with time-bound remediation targets set for non-compliant suppliers.

To support continuous compliance, we include contractual clauses that require suppliers to uphold our standards. Failure to remedy critical breaches can lead to contract suspension or termination. We also encourage suppliers to adopt equivalent or stronger measures in their own supply chains, particularly where labour providers or recruitment agencies are used.

Reporting Channels

We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels for concerns related to modern slavery within Haringey lawn mowing operations. These include internal reporting to line managers, an anonymous whistleblowing route and escalation to the board for serious incidents. Reports are taken seriously, promptly investigated and, where exploitation is identified, referrals are made to appropriate support organisations and authorities.

Our approach emphasises protection for those who report concerns. We will not tolerate retaliation against whistleblowers and will ensure victims receive safe accommodation, advice and any immediate remedial support required. We document and track all reports to identify trends and target preventative action.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We review this statement and our anti-slavery measures annually. The review process analyses audit results, reporting trends and the effectiveness of supplier management, training and policies. Outcomes of the annual review lead to measurable improvements, including updated supplier screening, enhanced staff training programmes and revised contractual protections. Haringey lawn mowing services will continue to adapt practices to emerging risks and regulatory changes.

Through ongoing vigilance, supplier engagement, clear reporting channels and a strong zero-tolerance policy, Lawn Mowing Haringey is dedicated to eradicating modern slavery from our operations and the broader lawn care sector. This statement is endorsed by senior management and guides our work to safeguard workers and communities.
