Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Stoke Newington

Our commitment

Garden Clearance Stoke Newington declares a firm, zero-tolerance policy towards any form of modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour or exploitation in our operations and supply chain. As a provider of garden clearance in Stoke Newington and related outdoor services, we recognise our responsibility to protect workers’ rights, maintain ethical procurement and promote safe, fair working conditions across all projects.

We are committed to continuous improvement. This modern slavery statement applies to all staff, contractors and partners engaged by our Stoke Newington garden clearance business. We require adherence to relevant laws and good practice, and we expect the same standards from suppliers, subcontractors and labour providers. Any breach of our standards will trigger investigation and may lead to contract termination.

Due diligence and supplier audits

We operate structured due diligence processes for procurement and contractor selection for our garden clearance services in Stoke Newington. These include risk-based supplier assessments prior to onboarding and ongoing monitoring. Our supplier audits are a key tool to identify potential issues early.

Supplier audit approach

• Pre-contract screening to assess labour sourcing, documentation and working conditions
• Periodic on-site and desktop audits focusing on recruitment fees, wage payments and accommodation
• Corrective action plans for any non-compliance, with timelines and follow-up reviews

We apply a proportionate, risk-based approach to audits, prioritising higher-risk suppliers such as temporary labour providers and subcontractors used in larger clearances. Audits may include interviews, records inspection and follow-up actions. Where necessary, we suspend or terminate contracts if remediation is not satisfactory.

Policies, training and worker welfare

Our policies embed anti-slavery principles across operational procedures for Stoke Newington garden clearance operations. All employees receive training on recognising signs of exploitation, ethical procurement and safe reporting practices. We emphasise fair pay, transparent contracts and the right to withhold personal documents.

We encourage a culture of vigilance. Supervisors and team leads are trained to spot indicators of coercion, excessive deductions, restricted movement or third-party control. Where concerns are raised, we respond swiftly to ensure the safety of any affected individuals.

Reporting channels

We maintain multiple secure reporting channels to enable confidential reporting of suspected modern slavery. Staff and contractors can raise concerns via internal reporting lines or through authorised whistleblowing routes. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled with confidentiality to protect whistleblowers and victims.

Our remedial toolkit includes access to specialist support services, cooperation with authorities and tailored remediation plans. We will take immediate steps to safeguard any victim, including removing them from harmful environments and liaising with relevant agencies for support services where appropriate.

We also ensure that procurement contracts for garden clearance in Stoke Newington contain anti-slavery clauses, the right to audit, and clear expectations on worker treatment. These contractual safeguards reinforce our expectations of suppliers and subcontractors and provide enforceable remedies if necessary.

Monitoring, review and accountability

The Board and senior management hold responsibility for implementing this modern slavery statement across all Stoke Newington garden clearance operations. We will measure effectiveness through audit outcomes, training completion rates, and the number and resolution of reported concerns. Performance metrics are reviewed at management meetings and used to drive improvements.

Annual review

This statement will be reviewed and updated at least annually to reflect changes in our operations, the supply chain and emerging risks. The annual review includes assessment of audit findings, updates to training materials, and revisions to contractual terms where necessary. Continuous learning from incidents and sector practice will shape our evolving approach.

By publishing this statement, our Stoke Newington garden clearance services reaffirm a sustained commitment to combat modern slavery and protect vulnerable workers. We will continue to work with suppliers, stakeholders and authorities to strengthen safeguards, improve transparency and ensure that our supply chain remains free from exploitation.

Declaration: This Modern Slavery Statement represents our current policies and actions and will be published in accordance with applicable reporting requirements. We commit to enduring vigilance and responsible business conduct in all aspects of our garden clearance operations in Stoke Newington.
