Some Microsoft services (including email) are currently affected by a global outage.

We will share further updates when they become available to us and apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

We’re aware of an ongoing Microsoft 365 outage, which began on Thursday 12 November. This is affecting services including Outlook, Teams and other Microsoft applications. The issue is part of a wider global disruption, and Microsoft is working to restore services.

For staff this may be impacting the ability to access emails, use calendars, schedule meetings or access certain Microsoft 365 features. Not all Microsoft 365 services are affected, and the impact may vary.
