That hadn't occurred to me! Interesting! Yes - I have a whole separate rant about the problems of open plan offices in terms of people feeling watched...but also getting sick cos they are petri dishes!

My entire team (handling FOI/DPA stuff) now works from home primarily. It means if we need to have a discussion about something sensitive or complex, we just boot up Teams and have a video call, where nobody can overhear anything. Especially handy if you have SAR requests from staff!
During the height of the pandemic summer, a member of my team mentioned he had the window open and the neighbours (furloughed or retired) had said they could hear (his side of) all his work calls.
