    Turning off unassigned Personal Safety Devices (Lone Working Devices)

    12 September 2025

    We have carried out an extensive review of the number of Personal Safety Devices held within the Trust and have identified 913 devices that have no staff members or departments assigned to them. After several attempts to get all devices reviewed and registered to the correct staff member, this figure has not improved which indicates the devices are potentially lost and can’t be accounted for. We have therefore made the decision to turn off these devices from Monday 22 September 2025.
