My Department has worked with the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform to develop guidelines for civil service organisations (Working from Home during COVID-19 – Guidance for Civil Service Organisations), which is intended to assist civil service organisations as long as necessary to address the health and safety risks of COVID-19. These guidelines are due to issue shortly.
Officials in the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform have also commenced work on the development of a remote working policy which will address remote working in the longer term for the civil service.
