Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Hayes Commitment

At Lawn Mowing Hayes we recognise our responsibility to prevent slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our position, the actions we take across our services such as Hayes lawn care and Hayes lawn mowing services, and our ongoing dedication to ethical labour practices. We operate a zero-tolerance approach to any form of modern slavery in our supply chain and daily work.

Our aim in providing professional lawn maintenance in Hayes is accompanied by strong governance. We publish clear expectations for contractors, seasonal staff and suppliers and require adherence to our policies which expressly prohibit forced labour, child exploitation and debt bondage. We communicate these expectations in contracts and induction materials and make them an integral part of procurement decisions.

Policy and Zero-Tolerance Approach

We enforce a zero-tolerance policy for any breach related to modern slavery. All employees and contractors engaged by Lawn Mowing Hayes must comply with our Code of Conduct and anti-slavery provisions. Breaches prompt immediate investigation and may result in termination of contracts or relationships. We ensure managers and supervisors receive training so they can identify risks in crew deployment, subcontracting and labour intermediaries.

Key commitments include:

• Regular risk assessments across our operations and in the supply chain for Hayes lawn care and related services;
• Supplier pre-qualification checks that confirm lawful recruitment and fair wages;
• Clear contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery laws and audit rights.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We conduct targeted supplier audits and due diligence, prioritising suppliers based on risk factors such as the nature of work, geographic location and use of third-party labour. These audits include document reviews, on-site checks where feasible, and interviews to verify working conditions. When issues are identified we require corrective action plans, and in persistent or serious cases we will cease the business relationship.

To support continual improvement we provide resources and guidance to suppliers to help them meet our standards. This includes sample labour policies, recruitment best practices and advice on record-keeping for hours, pay and identity verification to avoid exploitative practices.

Reporting Channels and Protection

We maintain confidential and accessible reporting channels for workers, subcontractors and members of the public to raise concerns about modern slavery risks in Lawn Mowing Hayes operations. Reports can be made anonymously through our whistleblowing mechanisms and are treated seriously. All report investigations respect privacy and protect whistleblowers from retaliation. We also encourage open communication on job sites and during service delivery to spot early signs of exploitation.

Investigation and remediation are handled promptly. If an allegation is substantiated, we take proportionate steps including support for affected individuals, remediation of harm, termination of abusive practices and referral to appropriate authorities where necessary. We document findings and lessons learned to prevent recurrence.

Monitoring, Training and Annual Review

Ongoing monitoring includes regular reviews of policies, supplier performance and internal controls. We deliver training to staff and supervisors responsible for recruitment, scheduling and supplier management so they can identify signs of human trafficking and forced labour while delivering Hayes lawn mowing services. We also incorporate modern slavery risk into procurement decisions and contract renewals.

Our Modern Slavery Statement is subject to an annual review. Each year we assess effectiveness, update our risk profile, publish outcomes and set new objectives for the coming year. This living approach ensures Lawn Mowing Hayes continually strengthens protections against modern slavery and underscores our commitment to ethical, fair and transparent labour practices across the business.
