Information technology is a critical component in supporting our work. Our websites are a key component in how we communicate with our stakeholders, as well as how we receive and process key information. A rolling review of our systems means we can ensure best practice in our outsourcing, cloud hosting, IT and data management, and ensure both a high level of public trust in our systems and processes and that our team has appropriate work tools, systems and processes.
