Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Islington

Lawn Mowing Islington is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our approach to identify, deter and address risks relating to forced labour, deceptive recruitment and exploitative working conditions in our gardening and islington lawn mowing services. Our commitment is clear: we will not tolerate any form of modern slavery.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery and unethical labour practices. All managers, contractors and temporary workers engaged in lawn care in Islington must adhere to our standards. We require proof of entitlement to work and transparent pay and working hours records. Our staff receive training on recognising signs of exploitation and understanding their responsibilities under this policy.

Scope and Principles

This modern slavery statement covers the full range of our mowing services in Islington and related procurement activities. We apply a risk-based approach, prioritising areas where vulnerability to exploitation is higher, such as subcontracted landscaping and seasonal labour. Our principles include transparency, accountability and continuous improvement across the supply chain.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We conduct due diligence on suppliers and subcontractors to lawn maintenance projects. Our supplier audits assess policies, employment practices and evidence of compliance. Audits are a mix of documentation reviews and, where risk warrants, on-site checks. Suppliers must confirm their compliance in writing and allow audits; refusal can result in contract termination.

Audit findings lead to action plans: minor non-conformances require corrective steps within agreed timelines; serious breaches trigger suspension or termination. We engage with suppliers to help them meet standards, providing guidance where necessary, and record all outcomes to support our annual review.

As part of procurement for mowing services Islington, we require contractors to maintain recruitment records, subcontractor lists and evidence of fair pay. We include anti-slavery clauses in contracts and reserve the right to require independent verification if concerns arise.

Reporting Channels and Protection for Whistleblowers: We maintain secure, anonymous reporting channels for employees and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports can be made without fear of retaliation; we protect whistleblowers and handle complaints with confidentiality. Our incident response includes immediate assessment, protective measures for affected individuals and referral to specialist support when needed.

We provide training and awareness materials so frontline teams, subcontractors and suppliers recognise signs such as withheld documents, restricted movement, excessive or unusual overtime and unusually low pay. Staff are encouraged to use internal reporting channels and to escalate urgent matters to senior management for prompt action.

Prevention, remediation and continuous improvement are embedded in our operations. We monitor key performance indicators, including audit completion rates, corrective actions closed and the number of reported incidents. Where exploitation is found, we take speedy remedial action to secure worker safety and to ensure perpetrators are removed from our supply chain.

Stakeholder Engagement: We work with industry bodies, community organisations and other local Islington lawn care providers to share best practice and improve sector-wide transparency. Collaboration helps us spot emerging risks and develop more effective prevention strategies for landscaping and grass-cutting services.

Annual Review: Our modern slavery approach is subject to an annual review to evaluate effectiveness and identify improvements. The review considers audit findings, incidents, training uptake, supplier performance and the evolving risk landscape. Actions arising from the annual review are integrated into our plans for the following year.

Commitment Statement: Lawn Mowing Islington reaffirms its commitment to combatting modern slavery. We will continue to strengthen policies, conduct supplier audits, maintain robust reporting channels and perform annual reviews to ensure our lawn maintenance and mowing operations respect human rights and labour standards.
