Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Services Wanstead

Gardening Services in Wanstead is committed to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chains. This statement sets out our policy, the steps we take to prevent exploitation, and the responsibilities of everyone connected with our Wanstead garden services.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking and any practices that amount to modern slavery. All employees, subcontractors and suppliers who provide gardening services in Wanstead must comply with our code of conduct. We declare clearly that any breach of this policy will result in immediate investigation and proportionate action which may include termination of contracts and reporting to relevant authorities.

Our procurement approach includes robust checks and ongoing supplier oversight. Key measures include:

• Due diligence on new suppliers before engagement;
• Contract clauses that require compliance with anti-slavery standards;
• Regular supplier audits and risk assessments for Wanstead garden services providers.

Supplier Audits and Checks

We conduct targeted supplier audits focused on areas where the risk of exploitation is higher, including temporary labour, landscaping contractors and seasonal workers. Audits combine document reviews, site visits and interviews to confirm lawful employment, fair pay and safe working conditions. Where non-compliance is identified, we require corrective action plans and monitor implementation until issues are resolved.

Reporting Channels are available to all workers, subcontractors and members of the public who wish to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery in our Wanstead gardening services. We maintain secure and confidential channels to encourage reporting without fear of retaliation. Reports are investigated promptly, objectively and with sensitivity to the needs of potential victims.

Available reporting methods include a confidential internal hotline, a protected email reporting route and an anonymous reporting option managed by an independent third party. All reports are logged, risk-assessed and escalated to senior management for appropriate action and, where necessary, support for affected individuals.

Our governance and oversight arrangements ensure accountability for preventing modern slavery. Senior managers receive regular briefings and training specific to human trafficking and exploitation risks relevant to Wanstead gardening services. Staff training covers recognising signs of exploitation, secure recruitment practices and how to manage disclosures with care and professionalism.

We collaborate with suppliers to improve standards: pre-qualification questionnaires, periodic audits and mandatory corrective actions form part of our supplier performance criteria. We use risk-based monitoring, prioritising higher risk categories such as temporary workforce providers, international suppliers and subcontracting chains.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement — This modern slavery statement is reviewed at least annually and revised when substantive changes in our business or the legal environment occur. The review evaluates the effectiveness of our policies, audit findings, reports received through reporting channels and remedial actions taken. Findings drive improvements to training, supplier engagement and operational controls across all Wanstead garden service activities.

We are committed to transparent reporting and will continue to disclose the steps we take to combat modern slavery in our operations and supply chains. Our commitment to ethical sourcing and fair treatment is central to the way we deliver gardening services Wanstead clients expect — professional, lawful and respectful of human rights.

To strengthen these commitments we will maintain a programme of supplier audits, worker awareness campaigns and enhanced due diligence processes. Progress against objectives and trends in reports will be documented as part of our annual governance review, with senior leadership oversight and documented action plans where gaps are identified.

In closing, Gardening Services — Wanstead reiterates its unwavering stance: no form of modern slavery is acceptable. We will continue to adapt and improve our practices so that exploitation cannot take root in our supply chains or operations, and we will hold ourselves and our partners to account.
