Our Support Centres

As colleagues return to the office, we are taking care of things to make it safe, but we are asking you to do your bit too.

All colleagues entering our support offices will have their temperature checked, and throughout the offices, there will be sanitising wipes and gel available for your use.

All offices are frequently cleaned with attention to high traffic and touchpoint areas. To help our cleaners be as effective as possible, we would ask that you help keep surfaces and desk areas tidy so that they can be easily wiped down.

It’s important that we all continue to look out for and be considerate of others, and below are some of the steps we can all take when we are in the office...

On arrival, get off to a safe start

  • Your temperature will be checked
