What procedures or protocols are currently in place for conducting forensic investigations (e.g. digital forensics, internal audits, disciplinary investigations) when staff are working from home?2. Have there been any changes to the council's forensic investigation practices since remote working was introduced?3. What technologies, tools, or platforms are used to support forensic investigations in a remote working environment?4. How does the council ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and chain of custody of digital evidence collected remotely?5. Are there any policies or guidance documents available that outline the council's approach to forensic investigations under remote working conditions?If any of the requested information is already publicly available, please provide links or references to where it can be accessed.I would prefer to receive the information electronically, if possible.
