Modern Slavery Statement — Gardening Services Northolt

Gardening Services Northolt maintains a clear and public commitment to eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking from our operations and supply chains. This statement reflects our ongoing dedication to ethical practices across all gardening services in Northolt and sets out the steps we take to ensure a safe, fair, and transparent working environment.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy for any form of modern slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking. All staff and contractors who work for Northolt gardening services are expected to adhere to our codes of conduct. Employment is voluntary, and workers have the right to leave employment following reasonable notice. We publish clear expectations and require that anyone supplying labour to our Northolt gardening services complies with national laws and international standards.

Scope and Principles

This statement covers all operations of Gardening Services Northolt, including contract gardeners, seasonal staff, subcontractors, and suppliers. We apply the principle that ethical stewardship of people is as important as the quality of garden maintenance. Our approach includes risk assessment, worker support, and contractual clauses that prohibit exploitative practices across the supply chain.

To reinforce our commitment, we conduct supplier audits and regular due diligence on contractors that provide equipment, materials, or onsite labour to our gardening business. Audits evaluate recruitment practices, wage compliance, right-to-work documentation, and the presence of any indicators of coercion or restriction of movement. Suppliers that fail to meet our standards are given corrective plans and, if improvement is insufficient, may be removed from our approved list.

Supplier Standards and Audit Process

Our audit process includes:

• Document checks for payroll, contracts, and identification
• Onsite interviews with employees and subcontractors
• Review of recruitment and third-party labour agencies

The checks are applied across both direct hires and associated supply networks that support gardening operations in Northolt and neighbouring areas.

We insist on transparent recruitment: no fees charged to workers, clear written terms, and access to personal documents. Where we identify risk, we require remediation plans and prioritize suppliers demonstrating swift, verifiable improvements. Gardening Northolt contractors are part of our network of trusted partners only after passing these controls.

Reporting Channels and Worker Support Gardening Services Northolt provides multiple confidential reporting channels so workers, subcontractors, or the public can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. These reporting channels are communicated to staff in induction materials and posted where workers access services. Reports may be made anonymously and are taken seriously; each allegation triggers an impartial investigation and protective measures for vulnerable individuals.

Key reporting mechanisms include internal line management escalation, a dedicated compliance review team, and secure, anonymous submission pathways. We ensure that whistleblowers are protected and that no punitive action is taken against those who report suspected modern slavery in good faith. Our aim is to build trust so that anyone connected to our Northolt gardening services feels safe to speak up.

Monitoring, Training and Annual Review We deliver regular training for managers and operational staff on recognising the signs of modern slavery and responding appropriately. Training emphasizes red flags, safe interviewing, and referral to specialist support. Policies and practices are reviewed annually as part of our compliance cycle; senior management signs off on the review and any necessary policy updates.
