Working from home data is not recorded on our HR systems. However, the number of staff logging into the Department’s computer system via a secure remote connection shows that approximately 20% of staff were working from home.

We have now provided an additional 6656 computers to enable working from home; we will deploy a further 6,000 in the next fortnight.
