Please be advised that this website is currently under review by the Head OPS Administration and as such numerous documents have been removed and some will be replaced by more up to date versions or as with many others such as Policies and Procedures, completely eliminated.

A new "OPS Users Guide" document as attached replaces many of the removed documents, including the previous OPS Handout - Instructions documents etc.
