GOING TO WORK
You should continue to work from home where you can. If you cannot work from home you should continue to travel to your workplace. You do not need to be classed as a critical worker to go to work if you cannot work from home.
Employers and employees should discuss their working arrangements, and employers should take every possible step to facilitate their employees working from home, including providing suitable IT and equipment to enable remote working. Where people cannot work from home, employers should take steps to make their workplaces COVID-19 secure and help employees avoid busy times and routes on public transport. Extra consideration should be given to those people at higher risk.
COVID-19 secure guidelines are available for sectors across the economy to substantially reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.

WORKING SAFELY DURING COVID-19 The Government has produced guidance to help employers, employees and the self-employed understand how to work safely during the coronavirus pandemic. They have produced 14 guides, covering a range of different types of work. Many businesses operate more than one type of workplace, such as an office, factory and fleet of vehicles. You may need to use more than one of these guides as you think through what you need to do to keep people safe. |

WORKING FROM HOME (remote working)
Since the start of the first lockdown back in March 2020, many more people have had to work from home. Many businesses have found that homeworking is enabling them not only to continue to operate during Covid-19 restrictions but that productivity levels remain high.
It is important that businesses consider what else they need to do to enable more staff to work from home safely. It is likely that even as restrictions ease many people will want to continue to working from home either permanently or on a part-time basis.
The www.gov.uk website has helpful information on how to work from home safely.
