Our Ref:         FOI-1306-2223

Thank you for your request received on 31 August 2022 asking for information about contractual home workers.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require.

Home working is not a part of any staff member’s contract. The vast majority of our staff are front line colleagues, who do not work in offices. Most of TfL’s non-operational staff currently follow a hybrid working model with a mix of in-office working and working from home. This approach has proven helpful in supporting a diverse workforce including carers, parents and those with disabilities.

If this is not the information you are looking for please feel free to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
