Our leadership team communicates this standard clearly, ensuring that everyone involved with Flower Delivery Bickley understands that we do not compromise on issues of human rights or dignity.
Supplier Due Diligence
We rely on a network of suppliers to provide the freshest flowers and related products to our customers. Accordingly, we undertake appropriate due diligence measures when selecting and reviewing our suppliers. This includes:
- Requesting suppliers to provide evidence of their own modern slavery policies and practices.
- Assessing potential risks in supply chains, particularly where products may originate from higher-risk regions or sectors.
- Building long-term relationships with trusted suppliers who share our values and adhere to our standards.
- Removing or reviewing suppliers who fail to demonstrate appropriate commitment to ethical labor practices.
Staff Training
Educating our staff is essential to preventing modern slavery. All team members, from florists to delivery drivers, receive training on how to recognize indicators of exploitation, understand our zero tolerance policy, and take appropriate action. Refresher sessions are provided periodically to reinforce awareness and keep our standards front-of-mind for all employees.

Flower Delivery Bickley has clear procedures in place for reporting any concerns related to modern slavery. We encourage all staff, suppliers, and customers to raise suspicions or feedback confidentially and without fear of reprisal. These concerns are treated with the utmost seriousness and prompt investigation. We are committed to ensuring that any suspected breaches are handled swiftly, with appropriate corrective action taken as needed.
