The Government works with suppliers and other stakeholders to communicate the scheme, the importance of checking post, emails and text for vouchers, and taking action to redeem them.

Suppliers are obliged to provide evidence to BEIS of action to encourage prepayment customers to redeem their vouchers. Suppliers should make a minimum of three attempts to contact customers who have not redeemed their voucher.
