Do you currently record details of visitors attending your council offices?
We do not at any site comprehensively record details of visitors. However there is a certain amount of information that passes between Devon County Council employees about who is expected and when and who they are visiting to enable the receptions to function effectively
If so…
What details do you record? E.g. name, company name, who they’re visiting, etc.
If a smartcard (to navigate around the site) is issued name and contact number are put on the smartcard system. If no smartcard is issued or the visitor is seen in the main public area no smartcard is issued and no data is captured.
