University Signs up to the Public Health Responsibility Deal

Posted on 28 February 2012

The University has signed up to the Government’s Public Health Responsibility Deal. The Responsibility Deal is the Government’s way of drawing on the potential of employers in both the private and public sectors to help tackle health inequalities through the influence they have over health in the workplace, alcohol, food and physical activity.

By signing up to the deal, the University is committing to a set of core and supporting pledges, but also to a range of specific pledges. These pledges set out the steps the University is taking to support this initiative. We need to keep the Department of Health informed as to how we aim to meet our pledges, and we will update the relevant pledge information on the web accordingly.

Further information can be found on the OHS website http://www.northampton.ac.uk/info/20296/occupational-health-and-safety/1673/public-health-responsibility-deal

or you can contact Paul Bradley directly paul.bradley@northampton.ac.uk

There is a scheduled firewall upgrade for tomorrow evening (Thursday 5 January) at 5pm to replace both the University border firewalls (external access to the internet) AND the internal firewall (internal access to some admin systems). It is estimated that there will be some downtime of up to 30 minutes during the switch over to the new firewalls.
