Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Bromley

Garden Clearance Bromley is committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place in our operations or supply chain. This statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy and the measures we take to prevent exploitation, forced labour and other abuses in the provision of garden clearance services across Bromley and surrounding areas. Our garden clearance in Bromley ethos is built on respect for human rights and lawful, ethical working conditions for everyone connected to our work.

We adopt a clear policy that prohibits any form of modern slavery. All staff, contractors and partners are required to comply with our standards and the Garden Clearance Bromley company code of conduct. Employees receive training to recognise signs of exploitation, to follow safe recruitment practices and to understand that any breach of this policy will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We perform due diligence on suppliers and subcontractors as part of our procurement process for the Bromley garden clearance service. Supplier reviews include risk assessment questionnaires, identity checks and documented confirmation of labour standards. We carry out regular supplier audits and site visits, prioritising higher-risk suppliers for more frequent inspection.

Supplier Standards and Contractual Requirements

Our contracts with third parties explicitly require compliance with anti-slavery laws and our anti-exploitation standards. We include right-to-audit clauses and require suppliers to demonstrate:

• employment records and working hours transparency;
• evidence of lawful recruitment and wage payment;
• policies addressing forced labour and child labour;
• a nominated responsible person for modern slavery matters.

We use a risk-based approach to supplier audits, combining desk-based reviews with on-site verification for high-risk activities such as seasonal labour, subcontracted waste removal and manual garden clearance tasks. If audits reveal non-compliance, we require corrective action plans, monitor progress and, where necessary, terminate relationships with persistent violators.

Reporting Channels and WhistleblowingWe maintain secure reporting channels that allow employees, subcontractors and members of the public to raise concerns safely and confidentially. Reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. Our reporting system supports anonymous submissions and ensures that no one who reports in good faith faces retaliation.

Examples of permitted reporting routes include internal escalation to senior management, and referral to external authorities when appropriate. We encourage early reporting of suspicious practices related to recruitment fees, withheld documentation, unusual contract arrangements or restricted worker movement. All allegations are assessed and responded to according to our internal procedures.

Monitoring, KPIs and Annual ReviewWe track key performance indicators related to modern slavery prevention, such as the proportion of suppliers audited, remedial actions completed and staff trained. An annual review of this statement and related procedures is conducted by senior management to evaluate effectiveness and to identify improvements. The review includes analysis of audit findings, incident reports and evolving risk areas within the garden clearance Bromley supply network.
