Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to allow civil servants to work from home during the covid-19 outbreak.

Communications have been issued to all Home Office staff making it clear that if their job can be done from home they should work from home.

They should only come into the workplace if this has been agreed with their manager and is essential for business delivery. Steps are being taken to ensure that employees have access to the necessary IT to enable them to work at home if possible as well as access to wellbeing support.
