Introduction to IT self-service and help

You can now raise new IT support tickets, request new services and find help and guidance in our knowledge FAQs. Watch our videos to see how to use IT Self Service

Here we share videos showing how you can use IT self-service in your day to day working life as both a member of staff and a manager.  We will update this video library in August 2025 with changes and additions including the chatbot.
