Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Neasden

Lawn Mowing Neasden is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. We declare a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that exploits workers, and we set clear expectations for staff, contractors and partners. This statement explains our approach, including supplier audit processes, reporting channels, and the commitment to annual review. We operate across Neasden and surrounding areas and aim to lead local lawn maintenance with ethical standards.

All team members and contractors engaged in lawn mowing in Neasden are required to follow our code of conduct. Recruitment procedures include identity verification, entitlement to work checks and documented terms of engagement. Our employment policies prohibit forced labour, bonded labour, child labour and any coercive working conditions. We train managers to recognise indicators of exploitation and to act immediately when concerns arise.

Supplier selection for Neasden lawn mowing services is based on both capability and compliance with our human-rights expectations. We require suppliers to sign our Supplier Code which includes clauses on fair wages, working hours and safety. Contracts contain specific anti-slavery representations and warranties. New suppliers undergo initial screening, and existing suppliers must confirm ongoing compliance at periodic intervals.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We operate a risk-based approach to supplier audits. High-risk suppliers receive priority review, which may include documentary audits, remote interviews or on-site visits. Audit activities assess payroll records, employment contracts, accommodation arrangements and health and safety practices. Where issues are identified we require corrective action plans with clear timescales and follow-up verification.

Our due diligence extends to sub-contractors and seasonal workforce arrangements often used in lawn-mowing Neasden operations. We maintain an active register of third parties and apply enhanced checks when labour is sourced through intermediaries. Records of audits and remediation actions are retained for monitoring and continuous improvement.

Key elements of our audit and due diligence program include:

• Pre-engagement screening to verify legal status and reputation.
• Periodic audits focusing on payroll, working conditions and recruitment practices.
• Corrective action and delisting where non-compliance persists.

Reporting Channels and Protection for Whistleblowers

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, subcontractors and the public to raise concerns about modern slavery. Reports can be made via anonymous forms or directly to designated compliance officers. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and assessed for remediation or referral to authorities where necessary.

We emphasise protection for whistleblowers: retaliation is strictly prohibited and any personnel found to intimidate or penalise reporters will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Our approach encourages early reporting so that potential issues are resolved before they escalate.

Review and continuous improvement are integral. We conduct an annual review of the effectiveness of our anti-slavery measures, including analysis of audit outcomes, incident reports and changes in operational risk. The review informs policy updates, staff training, supplier engagement strategies and the resources allocated to compliance.
