Following Step 4 of the government’s roadmap, the department updated its guidance on in-person visitors from ‘No visitors to site are allowed.’ to ‘External visitors can visit the office and must sign in and out of reception.’ on all 11 of our “DfE Buildings” intranet pages. This was published on the department’s intranet on 15 July 2021, in preparation for Step 4 on 19 July 2021.

A copy of the guidance, both pre and post update to reflect Step 4 will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses. Please note that the guidance on visitors is the same across all of the department’s sites.
