Garden Clearance Seven Kings Modern Slavery Statement

Garden Clearance Seven Kings is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across our operations and supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach, expectations of suppliers, and the measures we have in place to ensure that Seven Kings garden clearance activities are conducted ethically and lawfully. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any instances of forced labour, child labour, or exploitation.

We recognise our responsibility as a local provider of garden clearance in Seven Kings services to maintain high standards of human rights and labour practices. Our workforce, contractors and suppliers are made aware that exploitation will not be tolerated. All employees receive induction information on their rights and how to raise concerns, and managers have clear duties to identify and address risk.

To translate policy into action we have established a set of core commitments: due diligence on suppliers, regular supplier audits, accessible reporting channels for staff and third parties, and an annual review of our anti-slavery approach. These commitments apply across all Garden Clearance Seven Kings operations, and to subcontractors engaged in Seven Kings clearance services.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We undertake proactive due diligence when onboarding new suppliers and periodically review existing partners. Our procurement checks include verification of employment records, working hours, pay rates and right to work documentation where applicable. We use risk-based criteria to prioritise suppliers for deeper assessment.

Supplier audits form a central part of our mitigation strategy for garden clearance suppliers. Audits are conducted by trained staff or third-party specialists and include site visits, worker interviews and documentation review. Non-compliance triggers corrective action plans, and persistent or serious breaches can lead to contract termination. Our approach to auditing supports transparency and continuous improvement across the Seven Kings clearance supply network.

Training, Policies and Expectations

We provide targeted training for procurement teams, supervisors and field staff so they can spot signs of exploitation and understand referral procedures. Our supplier contracts include explicit anti-slavery provisions and require suppliers to maintain their own policies. We make it clear that failure to comply with these standards may result in remedial measures or de-selection from future work.

Reporting channels are essential to an effective response. Employees, contractors and members of the public working with Garden Clearance Seven Kings can report concerns through our anonymous reporting mechanisms and through designated internal contacts. We ensure anonymity and protection from retaliation for those who raise genuine concerns in good faith. Reports are investigated promptly and appropriate remedial action is taken where necessary.

Our investigations process follows clear steps: receipt and acknowledgement of the concern, a confidential investigation led by trained personnel, and implementation of corrective actions which may include disciplinary procedures, worker remediation and supplier sanctions. We document findings and update our records to inform future risk assessments.

Accountability and continual improvement are embedded in our governance. We publish this statement and review it no less than annually as part of our commitment to transparency for all aspects of Garden clearance in Seven Kings. Each annual review assesses the effectiveness of our policies, audits undertaken, incidents reported and corrective actions completed. Lessons learned feed back into policy updates and training programmes.
