Modern Slavery Statement for Landscapers Queens Park

Landscapers Queens Park is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent forced labour, child labour, debt bondage, human trafficking, and any other form of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the landscaping sector can involve multiple layers of subcontracting, seasonal labour, and goods sourced from different regions, which can increase the risk of abuse if safeguards are not in place.

Our Landscapers Queens Park team applies a clear zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery in every part of the business. This applies to employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers. No commercial objective justifies the use of coerced, unsafe, or unlawful labour. We expect all those working with us to uphold the same standards and to act immediately if they identify any risk of exploitation.

To support this commitment, we carry out risk assessments across our activities and purchasing categories, including plant materials, tools, transport, uniforms, and outsourced services. Where risks are higher, we apply enhanced checks, require written assurances, and monitor compliance more closely. Our approach is designed to ensure that Queens Park landscapers maintain responsible sourcing practices and do not inadvertently contribute to abusive labour conditions.

Supplier due diligence is central to our prevention strategy. We undertake supplier audits and periodic reviews to check labour practices, working hours, wage standards, identity documentation controls, and subcontracting arrangements. When concerns arise, we request corrective action plans and may suspend or terminate relationships if improvements are not made. This process helps us ensure that our Queens Park landscaping services are supported by ethical and transparent supply chains.

Training is provided to relevant staff so they can recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, withheld wages, intimidation, excessive overtime, or poor living conditions. Managers are expected to escalate concerns promptly and to record findings accurately. We also encourage a culture where questions can be asked without fear, because awareness is one of the most effective tools in preventing modern slavery.

We maintain multiple reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and confidentially. Reports may be made internally through line managers, senior leadership, or designated compliance contacts. Concerns can relate to our own workforce or to any supplier, subcontractor, or labour provider. Every report is taken seriously, investigated promptly, and handled discreetly, with appropriate action taken in line with the facts identified.

Where a potential issue is confirmed, we act without delay. Possible actions include removing an individual from risk, demanding corrective measures from a supplier, notifying relevant authorities where required, and strengthening controls to prevent recurrence. We believe that meaningful response is essential not only to protect vulnerable people, but also to preserve trust in the way Landscapers Queens Park operates.

We also monitor our procurement processes to reduce exposure to modern slavery. This includes seeking reputable suppliers, avoiding opaque subcontracting chains, and requiring traceability where practical. Any new supplier is assessed against ethical criteria as well as commercial and operational needs. By integrating human-rights considerations into purchasing decisions, Queens Park landscapers can better manage risk and promote responsible business conduct.

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal and ethical expectations. The review considers audit results, reported concerns, training completion, supplier performance, and any changes in our operations or supply chain. Improvements identified through the review are documented and implemented as part of our continuing commitment to prevention.

Landscapers Queens Park will continue to strengthen its safeguards, encourage vigilance, and uphold dignity throughout its activities. Modern slavery has no place in our business or in the supply networks that support it. Through firm standards, consistent oversight, and responsible partnerships, we aim to contribute to a more ethical and transparent landscaping industry.
