Your free website
A three-page website written from your listing, with an enquiry form.
Templates (Word)
Starter documents with your company name filled in. Members can download them. Have a competent person check them before you use them.
Health and Safety Policy
If you employ five or more people, the law requires a written health and safety policy. Contractors will ask for it whatever your size.
Risk Assessment and Method Statement: Soft Landscaping and Tree Planting
Edit this for each job. A contractor will want to see the site address, programme and names filled in, not a generic copy.
COSHH Assessment
Fill in one of these for each hazardous product. The safety data sheet from your supplier has most of what you need.
Environmental Policy
Keep it true to how you work. Contractors will ask for evidence of anything you claim here, such as waste transfer notes.
Quality Policy
A short, honest policy is better than a long one you do not follow.
Modern Slavery Statement
Only businesses with turnover of £36m or more must publish a statement under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Smaller firms often provide a voluntary one because contractors ask for it.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy
Contractors and public sector clients usually ask for this in their pre-qualification questions.
Data Protection (GDPR) Policy
Most businesses that handle personal data also need to pay the data protection fee to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Check whether that applies to you.
Carbon Reduction Plan
Public sector contracts over a set value ask for a Carbon Reduction Plan in a standard government format. Check the latest Cabinet Office guidance if you bid for public work, and use real figures from your fuel and energy bills.
Training Matrix
List who holds which card or ticket and when it expires. Do not upload copies of individual cards: contractors can check card numbers themselves.
