IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FACE TO FACE COURSES

All attendees should take a Lateral Flow Test each morning of the course (including any subsequent sessions) and only attend the course if the result is negative.

Please ensure you have a suitable face covering following government guidance. If you are exempt from wearing a face covering please notify us as soon as possible.

Please note: A face visor or shield may be worn in addition to a face covering but not instead of one. This is because face visors or shields do not adequately cover the nose and mouth, and do not filter airborne particles.

For delegates attending face to face courses please be advised that your details may be shared with NHS Test and Trace if requested.
