Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Acton

Lawn Mowing Acton is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement explains our policies, due diligence and the practical steps we take to ensure there is no place for forced labour, bonded labour, or exploitation within our Acton lawn mowing services and wider lawn care in Acton network. We operate with a clear ethical standard and expect the same from suppliers and partners.

Our board and senior management treat the elimination of modern slavery as a core governance responsibility. The leadership team has endorsed a zero-tolerance policy which applies across Lawn Mowing Acton, including all subcontractors, temporary labour and supply chain participants. We have allocated resources to risk assessment, staff training, and contractual controls to support our commitments and to make Acton mowing services a trustworthy and transparent operator in the community.

We map our supply chain to understand where risks may arise and undertake proportionate due diligence on key suppliers and contractors that provide goods or services to Lawn Care Acton. Key elements of our supplier engagement include:

• Contractual requirements that prohibit modern slavery and require compliance with our code of conduct;
• Targeted supplier audits and site visits for higher-risk categories such as subcontracted labour and equipment maintenance;
• Training and capacity building for suppliers on labour standards and legal obligations.

Zero-Tolerance Policy and Prevention Measures

Our zero-tolerance approach is both a policy and a practice: any credible allegation of forced labour or human trafficking will trigger immediate investigation and, where substantiated, contract termination and referral to appropriate authorities. We maintain a robust recruitment and payroll verification process to reduce risks of exploitation, and we require suppliers to demonstrate lawful employment practices for all workers engaged to provide Acton lawn mowing and associated services.

To monitor compliance we conduct regular supplier audits and use a risk-based audit schedule focusing on regions, service types and supplier profiles with higher vulnerability. Audits examine working hours, wage records, identity checks, accommodation arrangements and health and safety standards. Findings are documented, and corrective action plans are required where issues are identified; persistent or serious breaches result in suspension or termination of the supplier relationship.

We actively promote awareness across our workforce and subcontractors: staff receive training on recognising signs of exploitation, and managers are trained on escalation procedures. Our Acton lawn mowing teams are encouraged to report concerns without fear of retaliation, and we provide assurance that whistleblowers will be protected under our internal policies.

Reporting Channels, Remediation and Annual Review

We operate multiple confidential reporting channels so that employees, contractors and third parties can raise concerns. Reports are assessed promptly and investigated impartially. Where modern slavery indicators are identified, we deploy remediation measures that prioritise the safety and welfare of affected individuals and seek to remedy harm. Remediation may include liaising with authorities, supporting worker repatriation where appropriate, and engaging independent advisers.

Our supplier audit programme is accompanied by contractual clauses that allow access to records and sites, and by targeted action plans for suppliers requiring improvement. We keep detailed records of audit results, corrective actions and outcomes to ensure continuous improvement across the supply chain for all Lawn Mower Acton operations. Transparency and documentation underpin our response to systemic and one-off risks.

This statement will be reviewed at least annually to assess the effectiveness of our policies and controls, and to set priorities for the coming year. The annual review considers audit findings, training completion rates, reported incidents and remediation outcomes. It informs updates to our due diligence processes, supplier engagement practices and staff training. Our Modern Slavery Statement is owned by senior leadership and is part of the governance framework that ensures Lawn Mowing Acton remains vigilant and proactive in combating modern slavery across all our Acton mowing services.
