The safety of staff is the top priority for the Department for Transport and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).

Extensive safety measures have been put in place across the DVLA’s sites, in accordance with all relevant Welsh government advice. These include reconfiguring all sites, dividing floors into zones with no mixing of staff between zones, enhanced cleaning, social distancing, and the leasing of an additional building space, which is now in use.

The DVLA has implemented all recommendations from the local environmental health team and Public Health Wales and continues to work closely with these partners.
