Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Maintenance Tufnell Park

Garden Maintenance Tufnell Park is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of its operations and supply chain. This statement outlines our zero-tolerance policy, supplier due diligence, clear reporting channels, and our approach to an annual review. We recognise our responsibility as a local provider of garden maintenance in Tufnell Park to protect workers and communities from exploitation.

We operate across landscaping, pruning, lawn care and seasonal planting services, all delivered with the principle that exploitation has no place in our business. Our approach is founded on transparency, staff training and active oversight of subcontractors and suppliers. Every person working on Tufnell Park garden maintenance matters is treated with respect and dignity.

Our zero-tolerance policy is explicit: we will not tolerate forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking, child labour or other forms of modern slavery in any part of our operations. Any evidence of these practices will result in immediate action, which may include termination of contracts with suppliers, referral to the appropriate authorities and support for affected individuals. We expect the same standard from partners engaged in Tufnell Park gardening services.

Supplier Standards and Audit Programme

We maintain rigorous supplier standards for all contracts. Potential suppliers are screened for compliance with labour laws and ethical sourcing before engagement. Contracts require adherence to our anti-slavery standards, and suppliers must confirm their own policies and procedures. We include clauses that permit audits and corrective actions where necessary.

To ensure supplier compliance we conduct a scheduled audit programme. Audits combine documentation checks, on-site inspections and interviews with workers where safe and appropriate. Audits focus on recruitment practices, wage and hour records, health and safety standards, and the use of subcontractors. Findings lead to action plans with clear milestones and deadlines.

Our supplier audit checklist includes:

• Verification of right to work and lawful recruitment practices
• Review of payroll and working hours
• Assessment of accommodation and transport provided by suppliers
• Checks on subcontractor chains and third-party labour providers
• Worker interviews to assess treatment and freedom of movement

Reporting Channels and Worker Protections

We provide multiple, confidential reporting channels so concerns can be raised without fear of retaliation. Staff and third parties can report issues verbally to a designated manager, submit written reports to an internal compliance officer, or use an anonymous reporting line operated by a third party. Reports are acknowledged promptly and investigated by trained personnel.

Investigations follow a fair and documented process. Where modern slavery indicators are identified we collaborate with specialist NGOs, local authorities and enforcement agencies while ensuring the safety and welfare of affected workers. We emphasise remediation, including medical and legal support where required, and we prioritise long-term recovery for victims.

Our training programme for managers and field staff includes recognition of modern slavery indicators, appropriate response protocols and guidance on safe referral. All employees involved in procurement or supervision of on-site activity receive training annually, and we keep records of completion and effectiveness.

We have a clear escalation framework: minor non-compliances result in corrective action plans; serious breaches trigger immediate suspension and potential termination of supplier relationships. Throughout, we keep an open line with stakeholders to ensure transparency and accountability in Tufnell Park garden upkeep.

Annual Review and continuous improvement are core to our policy. Each year we publish a review of actions taken, audit outcomes and training effectiveness. The review informs policy updates, strengthens our supplier requirements and improves our reporting mechanisms. As the landscape of risk evolves, so will our controls.

Conclusion: Garden Maintenance Tufnell Park is committed to a proactive, ongoing approach to eradicating modern slavery across our operations and supply chain. We maintain a strong stance, detailed supplier audits, robust reporting channels and a transparent annual review to ensure continuous improvement and protection for all workers involved in Tufnell Park garden maintenance activities.
