Modern Slavery Statement for Lawn Mowing Westminster

Lawn Mowing Westminster operates with a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour. Our commitment is clear: every person engaged in our activities, whether directly employed by us or providing services as subcontractors for our mowing services in Westminster, must be treated with dignity and fairness. This statement sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent and respond to risks of modern slavery across our operations and in the broader Westminster lawn care supply chain.

We recognise that the risks can arise at any level of operational activity, from seasonal labour on gardens to contracted suppliers of lawn-care materials. Westminster lawn mowing responsibilities include embedding robust policies, ensuring contractual safeguards and maintaining transparent procurement practices. Our senior management endorses these measures and ensures that the anti-slavery stance is integral to our business ethics.

To maintain high standards we carry out supplier due diligence and regular supplier audits. Audits assess working conditions, payment practices, recruitment procedures and documentation. Where risks are identified, our procurement and compliance teams engage suppliers to secure timely, verifiable remediation. For higher-risk relationships we require corrective action plans, follow-up audits and, where necessary, termination of contracts to protect workers and uphold our values.

Our policies explicitly prohibit exploitation and require compliance from all parties associated with Lawn Mowing Westminster. Contract clauses require suppliers to confirm they do not engage in forced labour and that they permit inspection and monitoring. We provide training for staff and managers on recognising signs of modern slavery and on responsible procurement for lawn care in Westminster and adjacent areas.

We maintain multiple reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and confidentially. Employees, contractors and third parties may use internal reporting lines, speak to designated safeguarding officers, or escalate through anonymous reporting mechanisms. We encourage early reporting, protect whistleblowers from retaliation and investigate all credible reports promptly and fairly.

Our approach to risk assessment is dynamic: we monitor labour markets, seasonal trends and supplier changes that could elevate risk to people working in landscaping, garden maintenance and other related services. Westminster mowing services therefore benefit from continuous oversight and measured responses aligned with legal obligations and best practice.

We operate a structured audit framework for both new and existing suppliers. Audits combine document reviews, site visits where appropriate and worker interviews to build a clear picture of labour standards. Corrective actions are timebound and monitored; persistent non-compliance triggers contractual consequences.

Key elements of our supplier audit and remediation strategy include:

• Risk-based supplier screening before contract award.
• Scheduled and unannounced inspections to verify conditions.
• Mandatory corrective action plans with clear milestones.
• Training and capacity-building support for suppliers to meet standards.
• Escalation procedures, including contract termination for unresolved breaches.

The Board and senior leadership conduct an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and associated policies to evaluate effectiveness, consider audit findings and revise controls. Outcomes of the review shape our training programmes, procurement terms and ongoing supplier engagement. We remain committed to continuous improvement so that Lawn Mowing Westminster, our subcontractors and the wider supply chain are free from exploitation and compliant with anti-slavery laws and ethical expectations.
