If you are self-isolating, or have symptoms but feel well enough to work from home, refer to the Remote Working Policy (pdf) (staff intranet) and speak to your line manager.

If you are looking after someone, for example a child whose school has closed, and cannot work from home, contact GoodShape to log your absence and speak to your line manager.
