"This year the training has been delivered by the in-house training academy in workshops to UK personnel in the buying functions, sourcing & supply chain teams. This will continue on our E-learning platform and Zoom presentations. The training covers two key areas which are deemed to be the most important to our group; preventing exploitation and practical steps for procurement. Objectives from the training sessions are :

• To understand modern slavery and forced labour

• Recognise the indicators

• Know how to deal with potential issues and have in-depth knowledge of the company escalation processes

During 2020/2021 this is to be integrated into the business and become a core part of management training in retail. JD have recognised that high areas of risk within our UK business model is the distribution centre and the retail stores. We aim to roll this out to further areas of the owned businesses during 2020. This will continue to be part of the induction process for all new employees."

"JD have widened the scope of it’s third party auditors, Qima, to specifically identify modern slavery indicators which may not be visible in standard audit protocols. These have been named worker welfare assessments and are mainly interview focused specifically to engage the workers in more detail about their individual situations. The areas of focus for these assessments will focus on red flag indicators."
