Dear Member,
We hope you are keeping well. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to hold our General Members Meeting scheduled for Tuesday 23rd June at 4.30pm at the Koco Community Resource Centre, Coventry. This is due to the current rules relating to social distancing and meeting in large groups.
We continue to support members with issues locally and engaging with employers. We are also providing guidance to schools on their risk assessments and plans for wider reopening. Nationally, the Union is supporting members by issuing guidance, providing support via the AdviceLine and hosting virtual webinars that have been taking place over the past few weeks.
We have had webinars on Risk Assessments, BAME, Self-Audit Checklists, Health & Safety, Accountability, Remote Learning and others. To catch up with previous webinars click here. Please view them as they cover important topics and may answer any questions, queries or concerns you may have. Also, our website has a wealth of information in the Coronavirus Hub including the self-audit letters, Health & Safety Checklist and the FAQs to help support you.
The upcoming webinars this week include:
