BARBOUR LAUNCHES NEW
AND IMPROVED SERVICE
Following two years of research, consultation and
development, Barbour has unveiled the launch of its
redesigned service.
Barbour has collaborated with customers to explore new
ways to improve the service based entirely on their needs,
resulting in a new, modern and accessible design led entirely
by user feedback.
The extensive website redesign o ers a new, user-friendly
interface designed to make it quicker and easier for
customers to pinpoint the documents they really need and
save them to their accounts.
The new search functionality lets users apply filters
to help them discover, read, save, add comments and
share information in seconds. In addition, a brand-new
bookmarking facility allows customers to easily create
bespoke folders of content.
Furthermore, users can search extensive registers of legal
documents, and flag information to create a RAG (red-ambergreen)
report that highlights requirements they need to meet.
The redesign makes no changes to Barbour’s comprehensive
online platform, which still o ers:
The most comprehensive library of EHS documents,
updated daily
Technical ‘how to’ guides to provide instant expertise on
key topics
Model policy templates to help users save time creating
and updating their own
Director’s briefings and employee factsheets providing
concise information to help users improve workplace
culture, compliance and best practice
Toolbox talks with editable PowerPoint presentations,
Q&As and handouts

Parliament restoration
programme: planning
applications submitted
for Northern Estate
A series of planning applications for
Parliament’s Northern Estate, the
group of buildings along Parliament
Street and Whitehall, have now
been submitted to Westminster City
Council for determination.
The plans are the essential fi rst
step to enable the restoration
and renewal of the Palace of
Westminster as they include a new
temporary House of Commons
Chamber and associated facilities,
together with workspace for all 650
MPs and their staff within a single
secure site.
A temporary House of Commons
Chamber will be delivered within a
substantially redeveloped Richmond
House, the former Department for
Health building which it vacated at
the end of 2017.
The building which replaces
Richmond House will be of
exceptional architectural quality,
designed by Stirling Prize winning
architects Allford Hall Monaghan
Morris, one of the UK’s leading
architecture practices. It retains key
frontages visible to the public – the
Richmond Terrace and the Whitehall
façade, revealing internally the full
scale of the Whitehall façade with a
triple height central lobby space.
A public consultation was launched
on the proposals in May 2019 and a
series of changes to the proposals
have been made as a result.
Westminster City Council will
now conduct its own statutory
consultation process. Subject to
planning permission, it is expected
that works on the Northern Estate
could begin during 2020.
PROHIBITING BOYD THREATENS SMARTER WORKING
Large parts of the public sector have yet to authorise the use of BYOD devices, according to new research
commissioned by Kyocera Document Solutions UK. A survey of sta across the public sector found that 38 per
cent of respondents said that their organisations’ current use of BYOD is unauthorised.
The findings provide further evidence of the pressures faced across the government sector to keep pace with
the growth of remote and flexible working trends. Public sector organisations that continue to prohibit BYOD
risk missing out on the benefits of smarter working, as well as driving sta to ‘shadow IT’, creating a whole host
of serious cybersecurity risks.
The security of IT infrastructure is currently the biggest security concern among sta (31 per cent), but
concerns over the security of connected devices is set to grow from 11 per cent currently to 23 per cent in five
years’ time. This rapid increase may explain the significant number of public sector organisations that prohibit
BYOD, and the uncertainty over adoption in five years’ time.
