Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Norbiton

Lawn Mowing Norbiton is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to preventing modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations and supply chain. We acknowledge the responsibility of a local service provider, whether operating as Norbiton lawn mowing or small-scale lawncare Norbiton specialists, to take steps to prevent exploitation and to respond promptly if any concerns arise.

We enforce a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. All employees, contractors and partners engaged by Lawn Mowing Norbiton are expected to comply with this policy. Our zero-tolerance stance means that any suspected or confirmed incident will result in immediate action, which may include suspension of contractor relationships and termination where appropriate. This policy applies equally to direct staff, sub-contractors and third-party service providers supporting our Norbiton mowing services.

Our scope covers all activities undertaken by Lawn Mowing Norbiton, including lawn maintenance, groundskeeping and ancillary services. We recognise that risks may vary across roles and supply chains; therefore we apply proportionate measures. Where we use temporary labour or subcontractors for lawn-mowing Norbiton work, we require evidence of lawful employment practices and verify identity and right-to-work documentation as part of our onboarding checks.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We operate a programme of supplier due diligence and audits to reduce the risk of modern slavery in our procurement chain. Key elements include:

• Pre-engagement checks on policies, insurance and compliance for prospective suppliers to our Norbiton lawn mowing supply chain.
• Periodic supplier audits, combining documentation review and, where appropriate, on-site visits to verify labour standards and working conditions.
• Contract clauses requiring suppliers to adhere to our modern slavery standards and to notify us of any breaches without delay.

To supplement audits we carry out ongoing monitoring through performance reviews and random checks. Suppliers identified as higher risk are placed on enhanced monitoring plans and given clear corrective action timelines. Where necessary, we will cease business with suppliers who fail to address confirmed instances of exploitation.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage all staff, contractors and third parties to report concerns. Our reporting channels are designed to be accessible, confidential and protective of whistleblowers. Reports may be raised through designated internal routes and are treated seriously. We ensure:

• Multiple confidential reporting options for employees and subcontractors engaged in Lawncare Norbiton activities.
• Prompt, impartial investigations led by trained personnel and external investigators where appropriate.
• Protection from retaliation for those who raise concerns in good faith.

All investigations follow a documented process that records findings, remedial actions and lessons learned. We will support any affected individuals, liaise with relevant authorities, and implement corrective measures to prevent reoccurrence.

Training, Responsibility and Governance

Responsibility for implementation of this statement lies with senior management and is cascaded to supervisors and team leads. We provide regular training to staff on recognising signs of exploitation and on the obligations of those delivering Norbiton mowing services. Managers are accountable for ensuring compliance within their teams and for escalating any concerns.

Annual review and continuous improvement are central to our approach. Each year Lawn Mowing Norbiton will review the effectiveness of our policies, audits and reporting mechanisms. The review considers audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier performance and changes in legal obligations or industry best practice. Where improvements are identified we will update procedures and communicate changes across our teams and suppliers.

In conclusion, Lawn Maintenance Norbiton reiterates its commitment to preventing modern slavery in all forms. We maintain a robust combination of a zero-tolerance policy, supplier audits, clear reporting channels and an annual review cycle to ensure that our services remain free from exploitation. We will continue to adapt and strengthen our measures as necessary to protect workers and uphold ethical standards across our local services.
