Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Marylebone

Garden Clearance Marylebone is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all aspects of our operations. This modern slavery statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to forced labour, servitude, and any form of exploitation across the garden clearance in Marylebone market and supply chain. We recognise our legal and moral responsibilities and have implemented policies and processes designed to identify, prevent and remediate any instances of modern slavery.

Our policy applies to all employees, contractors and suppliers engaged by Garden Clearance Marylebone. We require clear evidence of lawful working status and fair working conditions for all workers involved in Marylebone garden clearance services. All staff receive training on ethical conduct, and managers have specific responsibilities to ensure that recruitment and on-site practices are free from coercion, excessive working hours and withheld wages.

We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery. Any suspected or confirmed incident will lead to immediate investigation and, where appropriate, termination of the relationship with the offending party. Our zero-tolerance stance extends to sub-contractors used in specialised garden clearance Marylebone projects: we expect the same high standards from anyone acting on our behalf.

To enforce these standards we conduct risk-based supplier audits and due diligence. Supplier audits evaluate recruitment practices, working hours, wage records and health and safety compliance. Audits may be announced or unannounced and include document checks and worker interviews where feasible. We prioritise higher-risk suppliers for more frequent review, particularly those engaged in heavy manual labour related to Marylebone garden clearance operations.

Our supplier audit framework includes:

• Pre-engagement checks — verification of identity, right to work and business legitimacy;
• Onboarding assessments — contractual clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery practices;
• Periodic audits — scheduled and spot-check reviews of working conditions;
• Corrective action plans — mandatory remediation steps for any non-compliance discovered.

Suppliers failing to meet our standards must implement corrective measures within agreed timeframes. Persistent non-compliance will result in cessation of procurement from those suppliers. We document audit outcomes and track remediation progress carefully to ensure sustained improvement across the supply chain for Marylebone garden clearance services.

We maintain clear reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery and unethical practices. Employees and third parties are encouraged to report suspicions through anonymous and confidential routes. Reports are taken seriously: all allegations are triaged and investigated by senior management with guidance from legal and human resources teams. We guarantee non-retaliation for good-faith reporters, and we provide support to any affected individuals during and after investigations.

Reporting and Response

Our reporting channels include internal hotlines and designated safeguarding officers. Where appropriate, we will cooperate with external authorities and specialist support organisations to ensure victims receive suitable assistance. The company records all reports and follows a consistent process for investigation, remediation and, if necessary, referral to law enforcement.

Training and Community Responsibility

Garden Clearance Marylebone invests in regular training for staff and contractors to recognise signs of forced labour. We work with local partners to raise awareness about the risks of exploitation in the grounds clearance sector. Education and vigilance are key components of our prevention strategy.

We publish this modern slavery statement as part of our commitment to transparency. An annual review process verifies the effectiveness of our policies and practices. During the annual review we assess audit results, incident trends, training completion rates and improvements required in our supplier standards. Outcomes of the review inform updates to our policies and resource allocation to areas of greatest risk.

In summary, Garden Clearance Marylebone and our Marylebone garden clearance teams are dedicated to combatting modern slavery through a robust policy framework, rigorous supplier audits, accessible reporting channels and continual improvement via annual review. We strive to ensure every person involved with our garden clearance services is treated with dignity and fairness.

Commitment: We will continue to strengthen our due diligence, increase audit frequency where necessary and ensure that victims of exploitation are supported. Our long-term aim is a supply chain free from modern slavery that reflects the values of Garden Clearance Marylebone and the communities we serve.
