The department supports flexible working arrangements using various information and technology tools and infrastructure. Many of these tools are part of the standard toolset used by all staff and not exclusively for remote working.

The ability to work anywhere is incorporated into the organisation's underlying technology infrastructure and it is not possible to isolate specific items or costs related to this.
