Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Barnet

Lawn Mowing Barnet is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, bonded labour, and any practice that exploits people. As a Barnet lawn care provider, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest standards of ethics and human rights. Our approach covers employees, contractors and suppliers.

This statement outlines how our Barnet lawn mowing service assesses and manages risks, enforces standards, and supports those affected. Our policy applies to everyone in the business and to third parties engaged in lawncare Barnet delivery. We require compliance with all applicable laws and with the principles of fair treatment, freedom of association and the right to a safe workplace. We will not tolerate any form of modern slavery.

Our supply chain spans local and regional suppliers for equipment, subcontracted gardeners and seasonal labour. To mitigate risk we undertake supplier due diligence including documented contracts, worker rights clauses and verification checks. Key actions include:

• Supplier pre-qualification and risk assessment for all Barnet lawn mowing suppliers;
• Periodic supplier audits and on-site inspections to verify labour standards;
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with our modern slavery expectations.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Enforcement

Our zero-tolerance stance is actively enforced through clear contractual obligations, procurement controls, and disciplinary measures. Contractors providing lawn mowing in Barnet must demonstrate that their workforce is lawfully employed and appropriately paid. We conduct background checks where permitted and verify right-to-work documentation for direct hires and recommended subcontractors. Failure to comply may lead to contract termination and remedial actions.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier audits are central to our compliance programme. We perform scheduled and unscheduled audits that review payroll records, working hours, living conditions for seasonal staff, and recruitment practices. Audit findings are recorded and followed up with corrective action plans. These measures help ensure our Barnet lawn care supply chain respects human rights and complies with anti-slavery requirements.

We prioritise higher-risk relationships and use a risk-based approach, incorporating geographic, sector and supplier-size considerations. Where audits reveal non-compliance we require immediate remediation, and we support suppliers with training and resources when feasible. For serious or persistent breaches we will terminate relationships to protect workers and uphold our standards for lawn mowing services Barnet-wide.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels for employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about modern slavery, exploitation or unethical practices. Reports are handled impartially and investigations are carried out promptly. All reports are treated seriously and, where appropriate, we will involve external authorities. Anonymous reporting is available and we prohibit retaliation against anyone who reports concerns in good faith.

Training and awareness are embedded across our teams and partner organisations. Regular training ensures that those involved in recruitment, procurement and site supervision understand how to spot signs of forced labour and trafficking. We maintain clear processes for worker support and remediation, including referral to specialist services where needed. Our goal is to protect vulnerable workers and improve conditions across the supply chain.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement This modern slavery statement is reviewed at least once every 12 months and updated to reflect findings from audits, incident investigations and evolving best practice. We set measurable objectives for risk reduction, track progress and report outcomes to senior management. Through ongoing monitoring, supplier engagement and public commitment, Lawn Mowing Barnet seeks to continually strengthen safeguards against modern slavery and ensure ethical, responsible delivery of Barnet lawn mowing services.
