Answer
The Department of Education (DE) has not issued any general advice or instruction to staff to leave early as a result of recent civil unrest. DE staff can seek approval from their line manager to leave work early within the rules of the Flexible Working Time - Code of Practice. There has been no associated cost to the departmental budget.
