17th March
The situation with the Covid-19 virus is constantly evolving, and following the latest advice from the Scottish Government, we have made the decision to move to home working, as protecting the health and wellbeing of staff and those they work with is our top priority. All our planned trainings, CPD sessions and group meetings are cancelled with immediate effect , until further notice.
As the Covid-19 situation is changing on a daily basis, please check for the latest updates at : https://www.gov.scot/coronavirus-covid-19/
General enquiries can be emailed to admin@fastforward.org.uk
Previous post:
Like many organisations throughout the UK, Fast Forward is making preparations for the impact of Coronavirus.
We have received enquiries about whether our activities and training events will continue.
As of this date our events, projects and services continue as normal.
In our office we are following NHS Inform and Scottish Government advice about how to reduce the risk of catching the infection.
We are ensuring this advice is shared with our staff, and would urge anyone reading this message to also consult this guidance.
In the longer term it is likely that the virus could have an effect on staff absences at Fast Forward and this in turn may have an impact on our activities and services.
If this happens, there is a possibility that we may have to reduce, cancel or suspend some of our activities and services.
We will continue to monitor this and will update this message if and when the situation changes.
Our response will be evidence-based and proportionate, and informed by the latest available public health guidance.
