Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Services Wembley

Gardening Services Wembley is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our approach for Wembley gardening services, including policies, controls and the actions we take to identify and respond to risks of forced labour and exploitation. We are guided by a firm zero-tolerance policy toward any forms of modern slavery.

Our commitment covers all employees, contractors and partners providing gardening services in Wembley and across the local area. We use risk-based due diligence and continuous monitoring to assess where Wembley garden services might be at risk. This policy is embedded in contracts, staff training and procurement procedures and applies to permanent staff and seasonal workers alike.

The zero-tolerance policy is explicit and uncompromising: forced labour, debt bondage, unlawful restrictions on movement and withholding of wages are prohibited. We require the same standards from our suppliers, subcontractors and temporary labour providers. Any breach will lead to contract termination and remedial action as necessary.

Our approach to preventing modern slavery

We adopt a proportionate and practical approach to safeguard workers within the gardening and grounds maintenance sector. Measures include risk assessments, staff training, contractual clauses and checks when engaging third parties for Gardening Services in Wembley.

Supplier audits and monitoring

We operate supplier audits and supplier due diligence programmes to assess compliance with our standards. Audit activities include:

• Verification of identity and right to work for workers used by suppliers.
• On-site or remote supplier audits to review working conditions, pay and hours.
• Review of subcontracting chains and confirmation of contractual obligations.
• Corrective action plans and follow-up audits when issues are identified.

We require suppliers to maintain transparent records and to permit access for audit and investigation. Our procurement team applies a risk-based approach when selecting partners for Wembley gardening services, prioritising suppliers with robust labour and compliance controls. Where necessary, we work with suppliers to implement remediation plans and monitor progress.

Staff and contractor training is central to our prevention strategy. All managers and workers involved in landscaping and garden maintenance are provided with training on recognising signs of modern slavery, reporting obligations and safe recruitment practices. We use clear contractual terms, including clauses that allow us to suspend or terminate arrangements if modern slavery risks are identified.

We maintain secure and confidential reporting channels so concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Reporting channels include an internal whistleblowing process and escalation to senior management. Reports are investigated promptly, and appropriate remediation or disciplinary action is taken. Our approach to reporting emphasises protection of victims and support for those affected.

Annual review and continuous improvement — We commit to an annual review of this statement and our practices to ensure ongoing effectiveness. The review considers audit findings, incidents, supplier performance and evolving risks in the landscaping industry. Outcomes inform training updates, contract revisions and improvements to our audit programme.

For Wembley garden services we set measurable objectives to reduce risk and increase supplier transparency year on year. Progress is reported internally to senior leadership and used to refine controls, supplier selection and corrective actions where necessary.

In summary, Gardening Services Wembley has a clear, enforced policy of zero tolerance toward modern slavery, conducts supplier audits, provides accessible reporting channels and undertakes an annual review to strengthen protections. We remain committed to eradicating modern slavery from our operations and supply chains and to continuous improvement of our safeguarding measures.
