Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Leyton

Lawn Mowing Leyton is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. This statement sets out our clear, zero-tolerance policy towards any practice that constitutes slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour, or human trafficking. Our commitment covers all workers engaged directly by Lawn Mowing Leyton and indirectly through contractors, suppliers and partners who support Leyton lawn care activities.

We recognise that risks vary across services, from domestic lawn cutting to commercial lawn maintenance in Leyton, and we undertake proportionate measures to assess and mitigate those risks. This policy applies to everyone working for or on behalf of Lawn Mowing Leyton, including full-time and part-time employees, subcontractors, agency staff and volunteers. We expect the same high standards from all suppliers of lawn-mowing Leyton services.

Supplier Standards and Audits

Our approach to supplier due diligence includes regular supplier audits and targeted checks. We require suppliers to demonstrate compliance with labour standards and to confirm they do not engage in exploitative practices. Key audit elements include:

• Verification of worker identity and rights to work;
• Review of contracts and payment records to identify underpayment or unlawful deductions;
• Site visits and interviews with workers for high-risk suppliers;
• Requirement for remediation plans where issues are identified.

Audit Process and Supplier Expectations

We carry out supplier audits on a risk-prioritised basis and retain the right to terminate relationships where suppliers fail to take corrective action. Audits are conducted by trained personnel or independent auditors and are documented. Suppliers of lawn-mowing in Leyton must maintain transparent records and are expected to adopt policies consistent with ours. Contract clauses include anti-slavery commitments and the right to audit as standard.

Reporting Channels and Protections

Lawn Mowing Leyton provides multiple confidential reporting channels for employees and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports can be made anonymously and will be treated seriously and reviewed promptly. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and take steps to ensure confidentiality where requested. Allegations are investigated, and where abuse is substantiated we take decisive action, including suspension of suppliers, termination of contracts and referral to relevant authorities.

We provide training to managers and operational staff on recognising signs of exploitation and the proper steps to escalate concerns. Training covers indicators such as restricted freedom of movement, unusually long hours without adequate pay, or evidence of coercion. This training is mandatory for those involved in procurement, staff supervision and supplier management for Leyton lawn care operations.

Governance and Responsibility

Responsibility for implementing this Modern Slavery Statement rests with senior management and is overseen by our governance leads. We maintain clear roles for monitoring compliance, conducting audits and managing remediation. Our governance framework includes regular reporting to leadership and documented escalation paths for serious incidents.

We use a combination of internal audits, supplier self-assessments and third-party verifications. Corrective actions are tracked, and recurring issues trigger deeper reviews and enhanced controls. We believe in continuous improvement and engage with industry peers and specialist advisors to refine our practices for lawn maintenance Leyton services.

Annual Review and Continuous Commitment

This policy and our procedures are reviewed annually to assess effectiveness and to respond to evolving risk. The annual review considers audit outcomes, reported incidents, changes in legislation and emerging supply chain risks specific to Leyton lawn mowing and broader grounds maintenance activities. We will update this statement to reflect material changes and to reinforce our robust, zero-tolerance approach.

By publishing this statement, Lawn Mowing Leyton reiterates a firm commitment to ethical labour practices and to ensuring that no form of modern slavery is present in our operations or supply chains. We will continue to work collaboratively with suppliers, contractors and other stakeholders to maintain high standards and to protect vulnerable workers across all our lawn care services in Leyton.
