Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Ilford Commitment

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the position of Lawn Mowing Ilford and its associated trading names on preventing modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour in our operations and supply chain. Our Ilford lawn mowing and local lawn care services operate with a clear, zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation. We recognise that preventing modern slavery is fundamental to responsible business and to the trust placed in our company by the communities we serve.

We are committed to continuous due diligence across our network of subcontractors and suppliers providing garden maintenance, turf installation and equipment services. Our zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery is applied to staff, contractors and any labour providers. We require all colleagues and partners to adhere to our standards and to respect the dignity and rights of every worker. Any breach of this policy will result in prompt investigation and appropriate action up to termination.

Supplier audits and risk assessments are a central part of how we safeguard the integrity of our supply chain for Ilford lawn care operations. We carry out pre-engagement checks and periodic audits for high-risk suppliers, evaluating recruitment practices, working hours, wage payments and subcontracting arrangements. Our audit process includes:

• document verification and on-site inspections;
• interviews with workers where possible to establish working conditions;
• review of payroll and employment records.

We provide clear reporting channels for concerns relating to modern slavery and exploitation. These channels are designed to be accessible, confidential and available to employees, contractors and third parties involved in Ilford lawn mowing and related services. Reports can be raised without fear of retaliation; our policy explicitly protects whistleblowers. We maintain procedures to ensure that every report is logged, assessed and escalated for investigation in line with our internal governance.

Our reporting framework includes a formal process managed by senior compliance personnel and a nominated lead responsible for human rights issues. The steps include initial screening, risk classification, fact-finding and, where necessary, coordinated remedial action. We also use anonymous reporting options to encourage disclosures and ensure that remedial measures prioritise the safety and welfare of any affected individuals. Transparency and fairness guide how we handle each case.

Training and awareness are essential to embedding our standards across the business. All employees involved in procurement, supervision of groundskeeping teams or subcontractor management receive regular training on identifying signs of forced labour, ethical recruitment and the responsibilities of managers. We require suppliers to confirm their staff are informed of their rights and provided with accessible information in relevant languages. Ongoing education helps us maintain high standards for Ilford lawn maintenance and related supply chains.

Supply chain monitoring continues beyond initial audits. Where risks are identified, we work with suppliers to develop corrective action plans, timebound improvements and, where required, independent verification. Our approach balances remediation and enforcement — supporting compliant partners to improve while acting decisively against persistent violators. We retain the right to terminate relationships where suppliers fail to address modern slavery risks satisfactorily.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Each year we undertake a formal review of our anti-slavery measures. The annual review assesses our risk profile across Ilford lawn care services, the effectiveness of supplier audits, reporting outcomes and training completion. Findings from the review inform policy updates, resource allocation and enhanced due diligence for higher risk categories. This cycle of assessment and improvement is designed to strengthen our defences against exploitation over time.

Statement Approval and Forward Commitments

This statement represents the approach of Lawn Mowing Ilford to preventing modern slavery and sets out the key measures we take. We commit to maintaining a robust, evolving programme that includes audits, secure reporting channels, staff training and an annual review process. We will continue to monitor, report and improve to ensure our lawn care Ilford operations and supply chain remain free from modern slavery.

We expect all partners and those acting on our behalf to share this commitment. Responsibility rests with senior leadership and with every person engaged in the delivery of garden maintenance and Ilford lawn mowing services to uphold these standards. We will publish updates on progress as part of our governance disclosures and review our policies annually to adapt to changing risks and best practice. Our goal is to create safer, fairer working conditions for everyone connected to our business.
