Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Maintenance Manor Park

Garden Maintenance Manor Park is committed to ensuring that slavery and human trafficking have no place in our operations or supply chain. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitative working conditions. This statement outlines our approach across the Manor Park garden maintenance services, the expectations we set for suppliers, and the controls we maintain to reduce risk and respond where issues are identified.

Our commitment covers every level of the organisation engaged in garden maintenance at Manor Park, including permanent staff, seasonal teams, subcontractors and suppliers. We recognise that risks can arise in labour supply, subcontracted landscaping works, equipment provisioning and seasonal recruitment. We prioritise transparency and accountability in all decisions, and we embed human rights considerations into our contracting and procurement processes.

The core of our strategy is prevention and detection. Our zero-tolerance approach requires all employees and partners to comply with a clear code of conduct. We require that all contractors and suppliers confirm that they do not engage in modern slavery practices as a condition of doing business with Manor Park garden services. Breaches of this policy will trigger immediate investigation and remedial action, up to contract termination and referral to authorities where necessary.

We maintain a proportionate due diligence process for our supply chain. Prior to onboarding and at regular intervals we assess suppliers for risk factors related to forced labour: recruitment practices, subcontracting, migrant labour usage and local regulatory compliance. Our procurement team conducts documented checks and requires suppliers to provide evidence of labour rights protections.

• Regular supplier audits and on-site inspections
• Contract clauses mandating compliance with anti-slavery standards
• Corrective action plans and re-audits for non-compliance

Supplier audits form a key control. We carry out scheduled and unannounced audits of selected suppliers, reviewing payroll records, employment contracts, working hours, and accommodation arrangements where provided. Audit findings are categorised by severity and tracked until closure. Corrective actions are required within defined timescales; persistent or serious non-compliance results in removal from our approved supplier list.

To support continuous improvement we also require suppliers to cascade our standards to their subcontractors. Training materials and contractual expectations are provided to partners engaged in the delivery of Manor Park garden maintenance to strengthen capability and awareness across the supply chain.

We provide secure reporting channels to enable employees, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected modern slavery. Reports can be made anonymously and are treated seriously: each report is triaged, investigated and outcomes recorded. Protected reporting channels are supported by anti-retaliation assurances to encourage those with concerns to come forward without fear.

Our workforce receives regular training on the signs of exploitation, safe recruitment practices and how to use reporting channels. Managers are trained to recognise red flags and to follow escalation protocols. We also integrate human rights criteria into tender evaluations for all garden maintenance contracts in Manor Park and maintain a register of high-risk suppliers for enhanced oversight.

Governance of this statement rests with senior management who review effectiveness annually. The annual review process includes an assessment of audit outcomes, training completion rates, reported incidents and remediation success. Where gaps are identified, we update policies, reinforce controls and enhance supplier engagement. This statement will be reviewed at least once every 12 months and updated to reflect changes in our operations and learning from audits and reports. Garden Maintenance Manor Park remains resolute in its commitment to eradicating modern slavery and ensuring ethical, safe working conditions across our services.
