The process to recruit a new Independent Anti-slavery Commissioner (IASC) follows the principles set out within the Cabinet Office Governance Code on Public Appointments.

A fair and open recruitment campaign is underway, and it would be inappropriate to comment any further while this process is ongoing.

A decision on the appointment is currently under consideration.
