Many ONR staff are required to travel on official business to attend nuclear facilities in the UK, travel to another ONR office, or attend meetings, conferences, workshops, and/or training events. Staff may choose to travel to the destinations using their own private vehicle or hire car, often regulatory staff will travel a considerable distance to attend remote nuclear facilities. Driver training forms part of our safety management system suite of controls to mitigate the risk of harm occurring to staff driving for official business purposes, and has been agreed as a sensible precaution by our Health, Safety and Wellbeing Committee in relation to the risk. For on road training it is expected that it will address the principles of safe driving and how to address the challenges faced on our roads. This should be followed up by an evaluation report, providing recommendations for development if relevant. A copy of the report should be given to the individual, with a further copy provided to the ONR Contract Manager. It is anticipated that the majority of on road training will be required from any of the ONR office locations in Bootle (Merseyside), Cheltenham or London, but there may be a requirement to provide this from an individual staff member's home address, or any other UK address. The proposed contract will commence in September 2024 for a 3-year period, with the option to extend for up to 2-years in annual increments (i.e. 3+1+1).

It is considered good practice to undertake periodic external reviews of an organisation's Board and its Committees - Audit and Risk Assurance (ARAC), Security (SC) and Remuneration and Resilience (RRC). We are therefore seeking an externally facilitated governance review of the effectiveness of our Board and its three committees' arrangements to ensure each discharge their responsibilities effectively. The objectives of this review are as follows: a) An independent evaluation of the way that Board and its committees currently conduct their business - with a focus on meetings process and administration, culture and dynamics and the relationship between the bodies; b) A forward looking evaluation to advise how Board and its committees business could evolve to ensure the right mechanisms and structures are in place to have sufficient oversight of areas of responsibility. The review seeks a wider challenge and forward looking perspective than can be achieved through our well-established process of conducting internal effectiveness reviews. It also fulfils a requirement of our chosen code of governance, which recommends that effectiveness reviews should seek independent input at least every three years. A previous review of Board and ARAC was conducted in 2020/2021. A decision was taken at that time not to conduct a review of SC and RRC due to new memberships and SC being reinstated and re-energised following a period of hibernation. The scope of the review is expected to be broad and be cognisant of other sources of governance best practice (such from the Financial Reporting Council and National Audit Office). We would expect the supplier to consider how best to blend these sources into the review. The project is estimated to commence in October and to be completed no later than 31 March 2025; the main objective is to have the review completed to a high-quality standard.
