As businesses continue to bear the burden of lockdown restrictions, all eyes are on the First Minister and her “strategic framework” out of the latest lockdown, expected to be unveiled later this afternoon.

While very few details have been confirmed, Ms Sturgeon has warned that returning to “100% normality” would not be possible in the near future, though any lockdown-loosening measures will naturally impact businesses and have employment law and health and safety implications.

Join us at 2pm on Thursday February 25th, in the aftermath of this latest announcement, where our Senior Health & Safety Consultant, Gail Dyer, and LAW at Work’s Senior Associate Solicitor, Heather Maclean, will be giving their initial reaction to the First Minister’s plans, helping businesses to better understand exactly what this means for them, and explaining what you need to do to prepare for safe reopening and a smooth return to work when the time comes.

While you will no doubt be keen to get back to business, we know from previous experience that Scottish government announcements can create a lot of confusion and uncertainty, not only around the change in rules but your obligations as an employer.

To help you adapt once more, Gail and Heather will be cutting through the jargon, politics and bluster to provide employers with the clarity and direction you need to move forward.

We hope this session will help your business to remain resilient, enable you to fulfil your responsibilities, and equip you to tackle obstacles confidently in the months ahead.
