Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: Post Office understands that our procurement of goods and services from third parties carry with it the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking.
• Area: Within your supply chains
• Tier: Don't know
• Mitigation: We have a cross-functional steering group through which we develop and coordinate our approach to addressing modern slavery risks within our operations and supply chain. This group consists of expertise from the legal, procurement, compliance and operational functions in Post Office. We provide annual Compliance Awareness Training to all our employees and postmasters, which is tailored to ensure an appropriate level of understanding of issues such as MS and the Act's requirements.

• Area: agency network has a large number of people employed by independent retailers acting as Postmasters (including commercial partners) who are not direct employees of Post Office, POMS or Payzone.
