Home Office: Remote Working
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if her Department permits civil servants employed in the UK to work from overseas on a regular basis.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Home Office has a clear policy on International Remote Working (IRW), which is only permitted in very limited circumstances, either on compassionate grounds for up to four weeks where an employee has a seriously ill relative abroad, or to enable an employee to accompany their spouse/partner on a Diplomatic or other Government posting abroad. No other IRW is permitted.
