We have taken the following actions:

Health and wellbeing

- In line with our drive to be 'digital by default', we have put together clear guidelines regarding travel, meetings and virtual working
- We are strictly following UK Government guidelines with relation to dealing with symptoms
- We have put in place a reporting procedure so we can assess how this is impacting our people.

Operational resilience and responsiveness
