Lawn Mowing Soho Modern Slavery Statement

Lawn Mowing Soho confirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all areas of our operations. This modern slavery statement sets out the policies and steps we take across our lawncare services in Soho and surrounding areas. We adopt a zero-tolerance policy for any form of forced labour, child exploitation, or human trafficking and expect the same standards from our contractors, suppliers, and partners involved in Soho grass cutting and green maintenance.

We operate with transparency and continuous improvement as guiding principles. Our Soho lawn mowing teams, office staff and subcontractors are required to comply with our code of conduct which emphasises fair treatment, lawful employment practices and the right to a safe working environment. All employees receive training about indicators of modern slavery, how to escalate concerns internally, and how to support vulnerable colleagues. We also include supplier expectations on ethical labour standards within contractual terms.

Zero-tolerance policy and core commitments

Our zero-tolerance approach means any credible allegation of exploitation in the supply chain will trigger investigation and corrective action. Whether the allegation involves casual workers on a residential lawn mowing soho contract or staff delivering commercial grounds maintenance, we will act swiftly. We will suspend relationships where necessary, require remediation, and where appropriate, terminate contracts with suppliers who fail to remedy breaches.

We undertake regular risk assessments across all service lines including domestic lawn mowing and commercial landscape contracts. These risk assessments consider geographic, sector and supplier risk factors that could increase vulnerability to modern slavery. Our procurement team uses this information when assessing new suppliers for Lawncare Soho services and when monitoring existing partners to ensure labour standards remain high.

Supplier audits and due diligence

Supplier audits form a central pillar of our assurance activities. We conduct contractual due diligence, pre-engagement checks and on-site audits of high-risk suppliers. Audits evaluate recruitment practices, wage records, identity verification processes, working hours and accommodation where relevant. Findings are documented and action plans agreed with suppliers; persistent non-compliance may result in contract suspension or termination. Our approach to supplier due diligence is proportionate and focused on continuous improvement.

We maintain a supplier code and require subcontractors for Soho grass cutting and estate maintenance to commit to it. Where necessary, we provide guidance to help smaller suppliers meet expectations and build capacity to prevent exploitative practices. We also engage with peer companies and industry groups to strengthen standards across the urban groundskeeping sector.

Reporting channels and worker protections

All staff, subcontractors and third parties can raise concerns through multiple reporting channels. We operate an internal reporting line, designated human resources contact and a confidential whistleblowing process. Reports can be raised without fear of retaliation and are treated seriously, investigated impartially and escalated to senior management where required. We support affected individuals with appropriate welfare measures and referral to specialist services when needed.

To bolster access, we make information about reporting available in plain language and, where appropriate, translated guidance for non-native English speakers engaged in lawn maintenance work. Our investigators follow a fair process and maintain confidentiality to the fullest extent possible while ensuring a thorough response.

Annual review, governance and continuous improvement

Lawn Mowing Soho undertakes an annual review of this modern slavery statement and related policies to measure effectiveness and identify improvements. The review considers audit outcomes, training completion rates, reported incidents and corrective actions taken. Findings are reported to our senior leadership and used to refine supplier audits, update training modules and strengthen contractual terms. Through these measures, our aim is to continually reduce risk across our Soho lawn mowing, lawncare and landscape maintenance activities.
