7. How it is used to assess
• Each item on the Checklist has an Objective with Criteria which
clearly describe the ‘end state’. Each are aligned to Infrastructure or
Community with a sub theme and a Pillar(s) and an assessment
rating, timescale, evidence and suggested next steps.

9. Communication/Reporting
•Strategic Reporting to GLT
• For reporting purposes the Checklist will be used by the Covid GLT
Group to drive business critical decision making
• Just the Objective, Criteria, timescale and RAG status will appear
•Second Wave Planning / processes

10. What are the next steps?
• Use the checklist to drive conversations in the appropriate forum
aligned to the framework
• Ensuring that there is the correct evidence base to sign off tasks
within the Organisational Framework to drive the development of a
clear plan which ensures that accountability sits with the Pillar leads
and is reportable through the Covid 19 Senior Leadership Team
meetings.

11. Next steps
• Develop further Lessons Learnt from the first lockdown to ensure we
are prepared for a second wave
• Ensure that there are shared processes and best practice aligned to
business-critical activities to ease the transition to a safe return to
campus
• Be prepared for a second lock down or changes in government
advice

12. Question 1
What innovative steps can we
take to help people learn and
work and protect people’s
physical and mental well-being
whilst on campus?

13. Question 2
What established practice will
need to change in order
achieve the goal of a safe
return to campus?

14. Question 3
What changes to digital
infrastructure, policy and
processes do we need to make
to enable the return of staff and
students?
