Hi Gillzlloyd, Reverse the logic, ask yourself what control the employer has on the employees home its fixtures or fittings etc., does the employer supply any work equipment - if not, the employer may have less responsibility than you think. On the issue of using private cars for business purposes - the usual applies, driving licence checks, MOT checks and the necessaary business use insurance, hope this helps. Pete,

Thank you PeterL and Jay for your useful replies. Gillian
