Mr. Mark Doheny:

We envisage the code of practice providing a standard template similar to existing codes of practice whereby it would almost be a template for formulating an organisational policy. We envisage that it would cover areas such as identifying roles that would inherently suitable for remote work and looking at the nature of work and the internal appeals mechanism. We see that being firmly fleshed out in the code of practice. It would in general establish best practice with handling requests, submission handling and return of a decision. We are at an early stage in terms of engagement with the WRC on the issue. However, it is a policy consideration that is active at the minute.
