Over the past few weeks, members have been in touch with us regarding their workplaces re-opening or extending services, which may require them to work from an office/workplace setting rather than at home. This type of change is a cause of great anxiety for people, some of whom have been shielding during lockdown.
Government advice is clear that every workplace must become “COVID secure” by undertaking a risk assessment and applying measures to ensure that the risk to staff and service users is minimised.
If you have health, or other concerns regarding a return to work you can request an individual risk assessment and your employer should discuss the matter with you to try to reach a mutually agreeable way forward.
