Modern Slavery Statement — Garden Clearance Belmont

Garden Clearance Belmont is committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in all forms across its operations and supply chains. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward forced labour, child labour and any exploitation of workers, and we expect the same high standards from all suppliers and subcontractors engaged in garden clearance Belmont services, Belmont garden clearance activities and related outdoor work.

This statement outlines our approach to risk identification, due diligence, supplier engagement and remedial action. It applies to all employees, contractors and partners providing services under the Garden Clearance Belmont name and to all activities where we have direct or indirect control. Our values require active measures to reduce the risk of modern slavery and to respond promptly where concerns arise.

We enforce a zero-tolerance stance: any credible allegation of modern slavery results in immediate investigation and proportionate action, which may include contract termination and referral to authorities. Zero tolerance is embedded in our procurement and human resources policies and communicated to the whole workforce and external suppliers.

To support this stance we maintain robust supplier due diligence and monitoring. Our supplier audit programme for garden-clearance Belmont operations includes:

• Risk-based assessments of suppliers based on geography, service type and labour intensity;
• Contract clauses requiring compliance with anti-slavery standards and the right to audit;
• Periodic on-site inspections and document reviews, including payroll and worker records;
• Corrective action plans where non-compliance is identified;
• Supplier training and engagement on ethical labour practices.

These audits are designed to cover all tiers where practicable, with priority given to higher-risk areas in our Belmont gardening and clearance supply chain.

We provide clear, confidential reporting channels for employees, subcontractors and third parties who suspect modern slavery. Reports can be raised through our internal whistleblowing mechanism and through designated escalation routes within the organisation. All reports are taken seriously, handled sensitively and investigated promptly by trained personnel. We ensure no retaliation for those raising genuine concerns.

Our reporting and remediation process includes initial risk screening, evidence gathering, engagement with the supplier, and a decision on remedial steps which may include:

• Immediate suspension of the supplier or worker;
• Implementation of corrective action plans;
• Support measures for affected individuals where appropriate;
• Termination of contracts and legal reporting if necessary.

Training and awareness

All staff involved in recruitment, procurement or site supervision receive targeted training on identifying signs of modern slavery and the correct referral pathways. This training is updated regularly to reflect emerging risks within the local garden clearance sector and wider Belmont-area services.

Governance and accountability

Responsibility for implementing this statement sits with senior management and is overseen by a designated compliance lead. We maintain records of due diligence, audits and any remedial steps taken. Accountability is reinforced through performance reviews for relevant managers and contractual expectations for suppliers.

We commit to continuous improvement in our fight against modern slavery. Our supplier engagement includes regular dialogue, capacity building and the promotion of fair recruitment practices for all workers employed in Belmont garden clearance operations.

This Modern Slavery Statement will be reviewed annually to reflect changes in our operations, supply chain risk profile and regulatory expectations. The annual review cycle includes a reassessment of high-risk suppliers, an evaluation of audit findings and an update of training materials to address identified gaps. The outcome of each review will inform measurable actions to strengthen our controls and protect vulnerable workers.

In summary, Garden Clearance Belmont affirms its commitment to ethical labour practices. We declare a zero-tolerance policy, maintain a rigorous supplier audit programme, operate clear and confidential reporting channels, and conduct an annual review to ensure continuous improvement. Our combined approach—policy, prevention, detection and remediation—aims to eliminate modern slavery from our Belmont garden clearance activities and to encourage responsible practices across the sector.
