Wales Office: Remote Working
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, whether her Department permits civil servants employed in the UK to work from overseas on a regular basis.
- Answer
-
Staff in my Department may travel overseas on authorised short-term trips when required as part of their official duties.
Staff may request temporary International Remote Working for personal reasons only in very limited circumstances, such as compassionate grounds involving a seriously ill relative overseas, or to accompany a spouse or partner on a diplomatic or other Government posting abroad. All requests are assessed case by case, taking full account of operational requirements and risk, and always require prior senior approval.
