This may include weekend working in offices  Associates with particular health concerns will be accommodated in the return to work programme  Use of remote location meeting facilities for Business Unit teams to get together, when open and social distancing rules permit Social Distancing and Returning to work It is expected that the UK Government, including the devolved assemblies, will likely permit return to work to commence wi h some restrictions on social distancing continuing to apply. The restriction may include voluntary or mandatory use of face masks whilst travelling to and from the office. Social Distancing will limit numbers on site. Given the likely need to remain 2m apart as far as possible within the workplace we will likely have to put in place some split working arrangements, with individuals or teams working alternately in the office or at home, and potentially some remaining working from home. Where teams return to site that only a percentage of the teams can return at the same time, to avoid breaching the limits likely to be imposed.
