Session 2. Thursday 19th May 2022
Keeping safe, minimising infection and managing risk. This is a big one for all of us. We know the pandemic is far from over but with restrictions lifted, testing changed and many people behaving like Covid-19 never existed, how can we be good employers and keep everyone safe?
Session 3. Thursday 23rd June 2022
The role of vaccinations. There’s so much controversy about these. To jab or not to jab, that is the question? And do we only employ people who’re jabbed and boostered up? What about the law? Find out about the science of all this in lay person’s terms. No science degree necessary!
Session 4. Thursday 14th July 2022
Everything you wanted to discuss about covid but were too afraid to ask – moving forward in the pandemic. Your chance to ask and talk about anything Covid. Going out safely? Using PPE? Wiping down shopping? Testing? Letting people in my house? What makes us anxious? Having difficult or awkward Covid conversations with PAs and families.
