On very cold days, some areas of our office do not maintain a level of reasonable climatisation levels. Use of radiators or blow heaters around the office exacerbates this problem by providing false heat input to building management sensors. Therefore, use of radiators and blow heaters are not permitted on the floor.

Please select a more suitable area of the office (e.g. a desk away from the windows, or in one of the middle areas on cold days, or away from sunny windows on warm days) depending on the temperature you prefer. Please contact the ICT Admin Team, who may look into creating warmer / colder areas using other means on days with extreme temperatures, as needed.

Fans will also be available from the ICT Admin Team as required.

If you see a fault with any of the areas or equipment, please report it:

• All technical faults should be reported to ICT’s Service Desk on ASK ICT.
• Contact the ICT Admin Team on for any faults or issues related to the workspace.

Any building faults can be directly reported to Estates Facilities.

To promote a harmonious workplace, staff are encouraged to be self-aware and reflect on their own behaviours and actions when embracing smart working practices. If you are at all concerned about another colleague’s conduct in the working environment, you may wish to speak to them to seek resolution or seek advice from the ICT Admin Team.
