As a matter of practice, staff must never leave their stations without logging out of their systems, or leaving database or documents opened and accessible at any time when unattended. If an incident occurs this is brought to the attention of the line manager who then escalates this to resolve the issue quickly. There escalation procedure is outlined within the Employee Handbook.
