Research Continuity Guidance on Covid-19 Response Plan Documentation

18th Feb 2022. The requirement to work from home, unless it is necessary to attend the workplace in person, has now ended - researchers can continue all research activities on campus and can resume/commence research studies, namely non human-based studies off campus (Fieldwork) or human-focused studies (Research at Interface with Society/Volunteers-on-Campus studies), and travel for research purposes. Prior approval is no longer mandated by the Research Business Continuity Team - local areas (Heads of Units) to decide if prior approval by relevant Head is required for specific research activities. However, for all research activities Covid-19 Response Plan Documentation must continue to be updated/drafted. The section below provides updated guidance/templates for Covid-19 documentation.
