LIFT Executive and ISG

COVID-19 Update

Please be aware that LIFT meetings and training in September will be subject to the government guidance, social distancing requirements and Nexus’ Risk Assessment at that time. Numbers attending training and LIFT meetings may have to be restricted to fit in line with this.

We will, however, keep you informed of any changes and we appreciate your patience in this regard. If we are unable to physically meet up for LIFT meetings, training or do school/setting visits we will continue with our online/virtual support, as in the past terms.
