Covid-19

Here you will find lots of information to help you understand the risks and legal implications with regards to training during the covid 19 situation.

The aim of this category is to help you decide: a) whether you should be running any face-to-face training courses or not, b) when and how you may be able return to delivering any face-to-face training and c) what you need to consider from a legal and health and safety perspective as opposed to just following the Government’s guidance on covid. 

I genuinely hope that this helps you.
