Support in your practice2020 has been a particularly difficult year and we have made supporting you through the pandemic our priority. This has involved the creation of comprehensive Covid-19 secure guidelines, covering all aspects of practising safely during the pandemic, keeping you updated on latest government lockdowns and guidelines, and lobbying local authorities on your behalf. We also have a Covid-19 working group that was formed to respond as quickly as possible to changes in legislation and we continue to defend your right to work whenever it has been safe and acceptable to do so. |
