Return to campus update

20 Aug 2020

Staff returning to campus are no longer required to complete the self-declaration form

On 1 August, shielding recommendations for extremely vulnerable and vulnerable individuals were lifted, which means that staff should now be able to return to work if required to do so. We have taken the necessary measures to make the University campus COVID-secure. For this reason, staff returning to campus are no longer required to complete the self-declaration form. The managers guidance and flowchart have now been updated to reflect this change.

If staff continue to have ongoing concerns about their return to work because of their health, this should be discussed with their line manager. These FAQs should address specific concerns and questions that staff might have.  The managers guidance on COVID-19 health risks and the managers guidance for supporting staff to return to campus can be used to aid discussion with staff that continue to have concerns about returning to campus.
