Perkss has taken the initiative to follow the regulations imposed by The Department of Health and Social Care. In this present situation of the coronavirus (COVID-19), we can integrate the option for contactless order and contactless trace in your business’s application design. The integration of this option can prioritise the safety of your delivery staff, as well as your customers.
The Department of Health and Social Care has made it necessary for businesses, restaurants, pubs and religious institutions to maintain a record of all the staff, customers and visitors, who physically visit the premises. These records can assist the NHS Test and Trace service to control and prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
The NHS test and Trace can discern and identify parties who have been in contact with a positively-tested individual. Following this, the said individual can be contacted and the parties at risk can be warned. As a result, the localised outbreaks of the coronavirus can be prevented, before they even occur.
The Department of Health and Social Care has set some regulations that businesses must follow. Perkss has considered all the requirements made obligatory by the DHSC, and subsequently, abides by the following rules:
- In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Perkss requires the consents of all visitors visiting the physical premises of our facility.
- Collecting the names and contact numbers of staff members who work on the premises. Perkss further keeps a record of the date and time during which they have worked.
- Collecting the names and contact numbers of all visitors and clients who visit our facility in-person. We ensure that the name and contact number of the clients are recorded in a digital database. In doing so, we abide by the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Hence, the recorded data remains confidential and is kept in a secured, password-protected location. This data would only be provided to the NHS Test and Trace service-if and when they require it.
- Perkss further keeps a record of the date and time during which the visits were made.
- After the mandated period of twenty-one days, Perkss safely deletes all the records.
- At Perkss, we ensure that our staff and visitors follow the Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs). Every individual in the facility is required to wear a face mask while maintaining the regulations of social distancing.
