Recommendations
On the matter of a check-in or buddy system for a lone worker, whilst it was suggested that such a system was not popular and could result in unnecessary searches where a lone worker omitted, as requested, to check in, I accepted the evidence of Mr Murray that such a system should be in place.
Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks.
