In response to the concerns raised in Duty Of Care – Working From Home Scarborough Borough Council have confirmed that they have indeed failed in their duty of care to employees.

Upon the announcement by the Government, all reputable organisations actioned their Working From Home Policy.

As SBC has no such policy they were unable to do this.

I have recommended and requested that SBC introduce a Working From Home policy as a matter of urgency as a failure to do so could result in legal action against them.
