Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Our supplier audits examine employment practices, recruitment processes, documentation, payroll records and working conditions to spot indicators of coercion or exploitation.

To strengthen prevention, we provide guidance and training for procurement staff and key suppliers. Our training covers recognition of modern slavery indicators and appropriate responses, reinforcing the principles in this modern slavery statement for Gardening Shepherds Bush.

  • Confidential internal reporting line for staff and contractors
  • Designated compliance officer for supplier concerns
  • Anonymous escalation procedure for whistleblowers
