Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of a Travel & Trace Solution

Notice Description

As part of the Covid-19 response, establishing the location of internationally travelling staff and students was key to identifying at risk individuals in order to provide support to return to the UK/to home countries, or to provide remote support where this was not possible. This has driven the requirement for a more robust travel process to enable a quick and coordinated response to any future incident. Our vision is to have a high profile travel and trace solution, working across Professional Services to offer security, safety and emergency management as a single point of information for all travellers. The centralised solution will ensure all UK and international travel is registered by policy, with responsibility and accountability defined, and booking unable to progress without confirmation of (a) authorisation to travel, (b) health and safety risk assessment completed and approved, and (c) confirmation that insurance will be in place.
