My Department published its first Blended Working policy in June 2022.

Under this policy, staff who are eligible for blended working are required to attend the office for two days per week or more, depending on business needs.

That policy was revised and re-communicated to all staff in June 2023, retaining the existing blended working patterns.

A second review of the policy is currently underway, in consultation with staff. This review is expected to be completed by end September.
