Modern Slavery Statement – Garden Maintenance Seven Kings

Garden Maintenance Seven Kings is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all parts of our business and supply chains. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach, the steps we take to identify and mitigate risks, and the channels we provide for safe reporting. As a local Seven Kings garden maintenance provider, we recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and to ensure that every worker engaged by our Garden Maintenance in Seven Kings operations is treated with dignity and fairness.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, child labour and any form of exploitation. Our policy requires that all employees, contractors and suppliers comply with the law and with our internal standards. Any breach of this policy is treated seriously and will result in proportionate remediation, including termination of contracts where necessary. The Garden Maintenance - Seven Kings team provides regular training so our workforce understands how to recognise and report potential indicators of modern slavery.

Risk Assessment and Supplier Oversight

We conduct risk assessments focused on areas where the likelihood of modern slavery is higher, such as seasonal labour, subcontracted planting work and suppliers of bulk materials. As part of our Seven Kings garden maintenance supplier management, we prioritise transparency and traceability. We require suppliers to confirm compliance with our code of conduct and to provide documentation as part of onboarding.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Our supplier audits form a core part of our due diligence strategy. We perform a mix of desktop reviews and on-site inspections, with a particular emphasis on high-risk vendors. Audit criteria include proof of lawful employment, wage records, worker ID checks and subcontracting practices. For Garden maintenance services Seven Kings-wide, we use a tiered approach: higher risk suppliers receive more frequent and detailed audits.

Audit outcomes determine corrective action plans and follow-up. Where issues are identified we work collaboratively with suppliers to remedy problems quickly; where remediation is not possible, we will end relationships. We also promote continuous improvement by sharing best practice across our network of contractors, landscapers and supply partners.

Policies, Training and Procurement

Our procurement policies explicitly incorporate anti-slavery clauses and expectations. All purchasing and contracting staff receive mandatory training on modern slavery risks in the landscaping sector. Training covers how to spot red flags, how to verify the legitimacy of labour supply and the requirement to escalate concerns promptly. This training is refreshed annually to reflect emerging risks and legal requirements for Garden Care Seven Kings operations.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We provide multiple confidential reporting channels so that workers, suppliers and members of the public can raise concerns safely. Reports can be submitted anonymously and are handled with care and urgency. Our reporting protocol ensures that every allegation is logged, assessed and investigated by trained personnel. We protect whistleblowers from retaliation and take remedial action where necessary to safeguard those affected by exploitative practices.

To support accountability we maintain clear documentation of investigations and corrective actions. This record-keeping supports transparency across our Seven Kings garden maintenance operations and enables us to identify patterns or recurring risks. We also communicate expectations clearly to subcontractors and require them to cascade anti-slavery obligations through their own chains.

Monitoring, Review and Annual Statement We review our modern slavery measures on an annual basis. The annual review examines the effectiveness of our zero-tolerance policy, audit programme, training uptake and reporting outcomes. The review informs policy updates and resource allocation, and senior leadership signs off on changes. This Modern Slavery Statement and our associated action plan are published annually to reflect progress and next steps for Garden Maintenance Services Seven Kings.

Our commitment is enduring: we will continue to reinforce robust standards, enhance supplier scrutiny and ensure safe reporting so that forced labour has no place in any part of our operations. Through consistent enforcement of our zero-tolerance stance, targeted supplier audits, secure reporting channels and an annual review cycle, Garden Maintenance Seven Kings seeks to protect vulnerable individuals and foster responsible, ethical gardening services across the community.
