As we continue to work our way through the COVID-19 pandemic, to help improve safety we are introducing a Test and Protect system across all our buildings. Recording your details will make sure that it’s easier to trace anyone if you or anyone you have come into contact with within the workplace prove positive for COVID-19.

When you enter and leave a building you should scan the QR code on the poster clearly displayed at the entrance or exit with your smartphone. This code takes you to a simple form to complete. You will be asked some basic questions including the location and your contact details. This information will be held securely for 21 days then permanently deleted.

A paper copy will be held in the reception area so if you don’t have a smartphone or aren’t comfortable using this system, you can still record your arrival and departure from a location.

Some employees (following guidance from their managers) may have to work in offices and other premises to carry out their role. It is important employees working from home continue to do so and only enter a building for a specific reason and with the permission of their manager.
