Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Regents Park

Garden Clearance Regents Park is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across every part of its operations. This statement sets out our policy and the practical steps we take to ensure there is zero tolerance for exploitation in our workforce and supply chain. We believe that responsible estate and garden clearance in Regents Park must protect the rights, dignity and safety of everyone involved.

Our approach to Regents Park garden clearance covers direct employees, contractors and subcontractors engaged in green waste removal, site clearance and associated services. All colleagues receive induction training that emphasises our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, forced labour and unlawful restrictions on movement. We require clear identity verification, lawful right-to-work checks and fair, documented pay practices for all staff.

Policies and Governance

We maintain a suite of policies that underpin how we deliver garden clearance in Regent's Park and neighbouring areas. These include our Anti-Slavery Policy, Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Ethics. Key responsibilities are assigned to senior management who review compliance and report to governance forums. We commit to transparency and continuous improvement in how we identify and address modern slavery risks.

We apply rigorous supplier due diligence and monitoring when engaging partners for any garden clearance Regents Park activities. Before onboarding, suppliers must complete a compliance questionnaire, provide evidence of labour standards and accept contractual clauses prohibiting modern slavery. Our procurement team conducts risk-based assessments and implements enhanced checks for higher-risk service providers.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

Regular supplier audits form a core part of our controls. Audits include document reviews, worker interviews and site inspections where appropriate. If audits reveal non-compliance, we require immediate corrective action plans with clear deadlines. Persistent or serious breaches result in contract suspension or termination. We prioritise remediation that supports victims and prevents recurrence.

To strengthen oversight we maintain a register of suppliers used for garden clearance services, categorised by risk level. This allows targeted interventions and ongoing performance reviews. We also encourage suppliers to adopt the same high standards and to cascade these expectations to their subcontractors.

We provide multiple reporting channels so concerns about forced labour or exploitation can be raised safely and confidentially. Workers, contractors and members of the public may report issues through internal reporting lines, anonymous hotlines and through third-party reporting mechanisms. All reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly and handled with protection for whistleblowers.

Training and awareness programmes are delivered across the business and to key suppliers. Training covers how to spot signs of modern slavery, how to report concerns and the legal obligations of managers. We use scenario-based learning and update materials annually to reflect evolving risks in the garden clearance sector.

Annual review: our anti-slavery programme is reviewed every year to assess effectiveness and to plan improvements. The review process considers audit findings, incident reports, supplier performance and changes to the legal or operational environment. Outcomes of the annual review are used to update policies, revise risk assessments and set priorities for the following year.
