Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Services Brimsdown

Gardening Services Brimsdown publishes this Modern Slavery Statement to set out our approach to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. This Brimsdown gardening services modern slavery statement explains our commitments, the actions we take, and the expectations we place on partners and contractors. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, human trafficking, or exploitation.

Our Commitment and Zero-Tolerance Policy

We declare a clear and unequivocal policy: Gardening Services Brimsdown will not tolerate modern slavery in any part of our business. This anti-slavery commitment applies to all employees, casual workers, subcontractors and suppliers. We require that all parties conducting work for or on behalf of our Brimsdown gardening services operations adhere to laws and ethical labour standards. Any breach of this zero-tolerance policy will lead to immediate investigation and proportionate action, including termination of contracts where appropriate.

Scope and Responsibility — Our modern slavery prevention work covers direct activities and our supply chain, including plant and equipment suppliers, seasonal labour providers and subcontracted landscaping teams. The modern slavery statement for Gardening Services Brimsdown is owned by senior management, with operational responsibility delegated to our designated compliance lead. We will use different variations of our main policy language across training and procurement materials to ensure consistent understanding.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We operate a robust supplier audit programme designed to identify and mitigate risks of modern slavery. Our supplier due diligence includes:

• Pre-contract checks — verification of identity, labour practices and right-to-work documentation.
• On-site assessments — periodic inspections of working conditions, pay and hours.
• Ongoing monitoring — random audits and third-party reviews where risk indicators exist.

In higher-risk areas we require suppliers to provide evidence of payroll records, recruitment practices and sub-contracting arrangements. Suppliers are expected to sign our code of conduct that forbids forced labour, debt bondage and exploitative practices. Failure to meet these standards will trigger remedial plans or contract cessation for repeat or severe violations.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

Gardening Services Brimsdown provides multiple safe and confidential reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery. Employees and third parties can report suspected abuses through anonymous reporting mechanisms, internal whistleblowing hotlines and designated compliance contacts. Reports are handled promptly, sensitively and with confidentiality to protect whistleblowers and victims.

All reports are assessed and, where appropriate, investigated by trained personnel. Investigations may involve independent external experts, collaboration with supply chain partners, and engagement with enforcement agencies when necessary. We emphasize remediation for identified victims, including support measures, cooperation with authorities and reform plans for implicated suppliers.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement — This modern slavery statement is reviewed at least once every year. The annual review examines audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance and training uptake. Key performance indicators for our Brimsdown modern slavery policy include audit completion rates, corrective action closure, and number of staff trained. Results of the review are used to enhance supplier audits, increase training frequency and strengthen contractual clauses.
