The university has rolled out a new ‘Travel for Staff and PGRs’ SharePoint Site.

The new site comes as an result of feedback from staff regarding the availability and location of information relating to the university’s travel processes as well as a subsequent Rapid Improvement Event involving members of the Travel Management Committee and other university staff, which was supported by the Getting in Shape team.

It has been introduced to create a one-stop-shop for all university staff and PGR travel-related information and can be used by any staff members or PGR students who require support and guidance on any element of the university travel process.

The SharePoint site brings together guidance from the Travel & Expenses, Operational Resilience, Insurance and Health & Safety Teams into one single resource.

The guidance on teams’ individual sites will be taken down and users directed to the new site. Please note that no changes have been made to university travel processes, this change only relates to where the support and guidance for those processes are located.

The site contains information to support staff or PGR students with:

• Planning trips (including approval, Risks Assessments and insurance cover)
• Booking Travel
• Pre-trip preparation
• Support during your trip
• Post-trip activities

It also contains information about what to do in an emergency when participating in University travel, and travel-related news stories and updates.
