The Home Office has published guidance on publishing modern slavery statements during Covid-19. The guidances highlights the importance of monitoring modern slavery risks such as health and safety, grievance procedures, recruitment and supporting suppliers.

According to the guidelines, organisations:

• can delay the publication of their statement for up to six months, but should state the reasons for the delay
• still need to report on the actions taken during the pandemic
• should use their next statement to demonstrate how they monitored risks during this time.
