I wish to inform the Deputy that the pattern and number of days working from home and in the office is agreed at a local level and can vary from week to week depending on business needs. Blended working is available to most staff, except for a small number in roles that are customer facing where office attendance is necessary to undertake the duties of the role.
In line with my Department's Blended Working Policy, and the Blended Working Policy Framework for the Civil Service, no staff in my Department are working remotely 100% of the time.
My Department has no staff that are working less than 100% work pattern that are required to be in the office fulltime.
Working arrangement details in relation to my Department and the bodies under the aegis of my Department have been provided in the attached tables.
