Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Coney Hall
Garden Clearance Coney Hall declares a clear and uncompromising stance: we maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across all aspects of our work. As a local provider of garden clearance and landscaping services, garden clearance coney hall operations must be conducted with respect for human rights and dignity. This modern slavery statement sets out the actions we take, the expectations we place on partners and the processes we use to ensure transparency and accountability.Our Commitment and Scope
The commitment applies to all staff, subcontractors and suppliers engaged in Coney Hall garden clearance activities. We require that everyone associated with our brand complies with applicable laws and our internal policies. We will not tolerate any form of exploitation, whether it arises from coercion, deception, unfair wages or unsafe working conditions. This includes both direct employees and third-party contractors used for specialized tasks such as waste disposal, machinery hire or seasonal labour.
Key Principles and Expectations
Garden-Clearance Coney Hall operates under the following principles: respect for labour rights, fair pay, safe working conditions and the right of individuals to leave employment freely. We expect suppliers and partners to adopt equivalent standards. Any breach of these principles triggers remedial action up to and including termination of contracts. Transparency, traceability and immediate remediation are core to how we manage potential issues.Supplier Due Diligence and Audits
We carry out risk-based supplier audits and checks on our supply chain to verify compliance. Our supplier assurance process for Coney Hall garden clearance contractors includes initial screening, documented contractual obligations and periodic audits. Audits may be announced or unannounced and cover recruitment practices, wage records, working hours and health and safety. Findings are recorded and action plans required where gaps are identified. We prioritise suppliers with transparent payroll systems and verifiable employment records.
As part of our audit programme we use a mix of desk-based checks, site visits and third-party verifications. Where appropriate, we conduct worker interviews to ensure that conditions described by employers match worker experiences. Our audit outcomes are graded and inform supplier relationships: high-risk findings can lead to suspension and eventual removal from our approved list. We also provide guidance and support to suppliers seeking to remedy issues swiftly.
Supplier standards include:
- Clear contractual terms prohibiting forced labour
- Evidence of lawful recruitment and payment practices
- Safe working conditions and training records
- Access to grievance and reporting channels
Reporting Channels and Worker Protection
We maintain multiple confidential reporting channels so workers, contractors or community members can raise concerns about potential exploitation without fear of retaliation. Reports may be submitted through an anonymous hotline, an internal reporting form or via an appointed safeguarding officer. Each report is treated seriously: we acknowledge receipt, investigate promptly and provide appropriate protection for whistleblowers. All allegations undergo a formal investigative process and where required we will engage external experts and law enforcement.
If an investigation confirms modern slavery risks, we take immediate action to protect affected individuals, remediate harm and remove the perpetrators from our supply chain. Our remedial measures include secure relocation, medical support, legal assistance and ensuring payment of owed wages if applicable. We also require corrective action plans from suppliers and monitor implementation closely. Prevention is as important as response, so education and training are provided to staff and contractors.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement: this modern slavery statement is reviewed at least once every year and updated as necessary to reflect operational changes and evolving best practice. The annual review evaluates audit outcomes, incident reports, the effectiveness of training and the clarity of reporting channels. We set measurable objectives to reduce risk and improve supplier performance year on year. Garden clearance Coney Hall is committed to continuous improvement and full transparency in our efforts to eradicate modern slavery from our operations and supply chains.
