Modern Slavery Statement — Hedge Trimming Camden Town

This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the commitment of Hedge Trimming Camden Town to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. As a local provider of hedge trimming Camden Town services and related grounds maintenance, we recognise our responsibility to act ethically, lawfully and transparently. This declaration applies to all staff, contractors and suppliers engaged by Hedge Trimming in Camden Town, and it reflects our core values of respect, safety and fairness.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labour, bonded labour, and any form of modern slavery. Zero tolerance means we will investigate all credible allegations, take decisive remedial action and, where necessary, terminate relationships with parties who breach our standards. Our stance extends to recruitment practices, working hours, wages and the conditions under which workers provide services to our hedge-trimming and garden maintenance clients.

To reduce the risk of exploitation in the Camden Town hedge trimming supply chain we use a risk-based approach that includes contractual requirements and third-party diligence. Our measures include:

• Supplier pre-screening and mandatory contractual anti-slavery clauses;
• Targeted supplier audits and periodic site visits;
• Training for staff and contractors on identifying signs of modern slavery.

Our Approach to Preventing Modern Slavery

Hedge Trimming Camden Town maintains a robust due diligence process for sourcing labour and materials. We conduct risk assessments that consider geographical, sector and role-specific factors that might expose workers to vulnerability. Our procurement teams and subcontractor managers receive regular instruction on how to apply policy and verify compliance. We commit to sourcing responsibly for all hedge trimming services in Camden Town and surrounding boroughs.

Monitoring and supplier audits form a central pillar of our approach. We implement a programme of scheduled and unannounced audits, combining self-assessment questionnaires, document checks and, where practicable, on-site inspections. Where audits identify deficiencies we require corrective action plans, follow-up assessments and, for persistent or serious breaches, contractual termination—protecting workers and preserving standards across our supply network.

We also invest in training and awareness: supervisors, crew leaders and hiring managers undertaking hedge trimming in Camden Town activities are trained to spot indicators of exploitation and to escalate concerns. Our employment terms emphasise lawful pay, lawful deductions and freedom of movement for employees — measures designed to limit the avenues by which modern slavery can occur.

Reporting Channels, Enforcement and Annual Review

We maintain multiple reporting channels so concerns about forced labour or trafficking can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. These include confidential internal reporting to senior management, an anonymised whistleblowing route and escalation to trained safeguarding leads. All reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly with documented outcomes and remedial actions.

Our supplier audit programme is backed by clear enforcement protocols. Where audits reveal non-compliance we apply proportionate measures: time-bound corrective actions, monitoring visits and, if necessary, ending the business relationship. We take a collaborative stance where improvements are possible but will act swiftly to protect individuals where immediate risk is identified.

This statement will be reviewed at least annually to reflect evolving legal requirements, lessons from investigations and changes to our business or supply chain. The annual review includes an assessment of policy effectiveness, audit results, training completion rates and reported incidents. By maintaining continuous improvement, Hedge Trimming Camden Town reaffirms its commitment to eradicating modern slavery from our operations and ensuring that our hedge trimming services and supply partners meet the highest ethical standards.
