COVID-19 WVSC ORGANISATIONAL CONTINGENCY PLANS
These aim to maximise the work the organisation can continue to do at any stage, and to minimise the spread of COVID-19
- Until government guidance changes it is business as usual but with additional precautions to help stop the spread of the virus.
- If cases of COVID-19 spread in the local area we will reduce the chances of spreading the virus further by:
Stopping bringing groups of people together (e.g. SP craft group), cancelling pre-arranged meetings and not arranging new meetings for at least three weeks - If we have a confirmed case of Coronavirus of an employee or volunteer
We will do more to minimise the spread of the virus which might include not being in contact with physically vulnerable people, permitting home-working etc.. - If Coronavirus is widespread within the organisation / local area we will close the building and provide remote (telephone, skype / zoom, email) support to customers and partners within our capacity to do so.
