Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Maintenance Wembley

Garden Maintenance Wembley is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the policies, procedures and controls we have in place to ensure that forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking and any other form of modern slavery have no place in our business or supply chains. Our commitment covers every part of our service delivery, from garden maintenance in Wembley to subcontracted landscaping work and seasonal labour.

Scope and Zero-tolerance Commitment

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery across all company activities. This applies to the core team, temporary workers, contractors, and third-party suppliers. Garden maintenance in Wembley must be delivered ethically and lawfully: we do not tolerate exploitation, withholding of identity documents, debt bondage, or deceptive recruitment practices. All staff and partners are required to adhere to these standards as a condition of engagement.

Clear Standards and Expectations

To ensure compliance we have documented expectations that form the basis of our supplier and workforce standards. These standards require clear proof of right to work, transparent pay and working hours, safe working conditions, and voluntary acceptance of employment terms. Any breach of these standards triggers immediate investigation and possible termination of contracts.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We undertake targeted supplier audits and due diligence that are proportionate to the level of risk in our supply chain. Audits include site visits, review of payroll and time records, verification of recruitment practices and interviews with workers where possible. Our supplier review process prioritises suppliers operating in higher-risk segments, such as seasonal labour providers or subcontracted landscaping teams.

Audit Activities and Risk-Based Approach

Key audit and assessment activities include:

• Document checks for contracts, payslips and identity verification;
• Physical site inspections and unannounced visits;
• Worker interviews and confidential surveys to identify potential coercion or exploitation;
• Corrective action plans and follow-up audits to ensure remediation.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We maintain accessible and confidential reporting channels for staff, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery. Reports can be made anonymously and will be treated seriously, with protections against retaliation. Reporting mechanisms include internal incident reporting procedures and escalation to senior management for rapid response. Our goal is to ensure that anyone working within Wembley garden maintenance activities can raise concerns safely and without fear.

Investigation and Remediation—All reports are assessed and investigated promptly. Where issues are substantiated, we implement proportionate remediation plans which may include supplier suspension, contract termination, worker support measures and notification to appropriate authorities. Training on identifying and reporting signs of modern slavery is provided across the organisation.

Governance, Responsibility and Training

The Board and senior leadership hold ultimate responsibility for the implementation of this statement. Operational responsibility sits with our compliance and procurement teams who oversee supplier audits and contract management. We provide regular training for staff involved in recruitment, supervision and procurement to recognise risks and to respond effectively. Our approach to governance ensures accountability and continuous improvement in Wembley garden maintenance practices.

Contract Clauses and Supplier Commitments

All suppliers and subcontractors engaged for Wembley garden maintenance services are required to sign contractual clauses that reflect our anti-slavery policy. These clauses mandate compliance with labour laws, transparency in recruitment fees, and co-operation with audits. Failure to comply can result in contract termination and exclusion from future tendering.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement—We review this Modern Slavery Statement and our policies at least once every 12 months to assess effectiveness and to update procedures in response to new risks or regulatory changes. The annual review includes an analysis of audit findings, reported incidents, corrective actions taken and training outcomes. Findings inform updated risk assessments and improvements to supplier management.

Commitment to Ethical Garden Services—Garden Maintenance Wembley reaffirms its steadfast commitment to eradicating modern slavery across our operations and supply chains. We will continue to strengthen supplier due diligence, maintain robust reporting channels, conduct regular supplier audits and deliver annual reviews to ensure that our Wembley garden maintenance services remain free from exploitation and abuse.
