It is our responsibility to leave all mail in places we believe are secure.

It is not our responsibility to check porch doors are locked. If a delivery point has a letterbox on the porch door and it appears shut, we can post items through it. If we open the door to leave an item in the porch and walk away, we are leaving mail insecure. If the porch door is not shut and it holds the only letterbox, items should be endorsed and taken back to the depot.
If a tracked has a Safeplace printed on it, then it's an official customer request and you should leave it there. Our managers say if we're uncomfortable leaving anything then take the item to them first and they'll take a copy of the label. Our Dom has specifically said nobody will be held responsible if this is followed and anything goes missing. The customer has officially requested it hence the risk is theirs.

This applies to tracked items only with a specific Safeplace printed on the label.
yes the one i left had it printed on the label. it was an official one.
