Garden Maintenance Parsons Green declares a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations.

We take a risk-based approach to identify and address potential slavery and human trafficking risks in our supply chain. Every manager and contractor is responsible for acting with integrity and vigilance. We maintain robust employment checks, require proof of right to work, and enforce clear contractual obligations. Garden Maintenance Parsons Green expects the same high standards from all suppliers and subcontractors.
Scope and actions
Our anti-slavery measures include:- Supplier audits: regular on-site and remote audits of suppliers and subcontractors, assessing labour practices and working conditions.
- Contract clauses: mandatory anti-slavery clauses in all contracts, allowing immediate remediation or termination if breached.
- Risk assessments: periodic reviews of high-risk suppliers, geographic areas and specific services such as seasonal labour.
Supplier due diligence and audit program
We conduct thorough due diligence before onboarding suppliers and maintain ongoing monitoring. Supplier audits are scheduled and unpredictable; they examine payroll records, worker interviews and sub-contractor chains. If concerns arise, we escalate them, require corrective action plans and, if necessary, cease the relationship. Our supplier audit process for Parsons Green garden maintenance emphasises transparency and continuous improvement.
Reporting channels and whistleblowing
We provide multiple, safe reporting channels for staff, subcontractors and third parties to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports can be made anonymously through internal reporting systems, discussed with line managers, or raised to designated compliance officers. All reports are treated confidentially, investigated promptly and outcomes are recorded. We promote a speak-up culture so potential issues are identified early and resolved.Training and awareness are central to our prevention strategy. We deliver targeted training for managers and operational staff, covering recognition of modern slavery indicators, proper recruitment practices and how to use reporting channels. Awareness sessions include case studies relevant to garden maintenance in Parsons Green to build practical understanding.
Supply chain transparency and contractual controls form part of our enforcement. Contracts include clear expectations on labour standards, audit rights and remediation timelines. We will suspend or terminate suppliers that fail to meet our requirements. This applies to all services under the banner of Garden Maintenance Parsons Green and to those providing plant, materials and labour.
Monitoring, KPIs and continual improvement
We measure effectiveness through key performance indicators such as audit completion rates, number of supplier corrective actions closed, training completion and the number of reports investigated. Regular management reviews evaluate these KPIs and resource needs. Supplier audits and corrective actions are logged and subject to follow-up inspections until satisfied.
