Overview
- Devices will be deployed across about 100 stores by the end of 2025, with plans to expand to further delivery sites in 2026.
- Tesco says a Hull pilot cut serious incidents by roughly 50%, indicating the cameras act as a visible deterrent.
- The cameras will only record when a driver feels unsafe and any footage will be stored securely for use in investigations.
- Usdaw reports 77% of surveyed delivery workers experienced abuse, 13% were assaulted, and 26% refused deliveries over safety concerns.
- Tesco and Usdaw are urging the government to extend the Crime and Policing Bill’s standalone retail‑worker offence to cover delivery drivers, noting Scotland already includes them and has reported fewer incidents.
