Dear all
as mentioned in previous communication we met with UCU Regional Office on Thursday and then with SMT on Friday morning for a discussion and update following the announcement to return to on site teaching from 8th March. At our meeting with SMT on Friday we were reassured that the college is addressing all the issues recommended by UCU that we raise and have H&S of staff & students as their priority. The return to site measures are covered in the college communications so please refer to those for all the details. The headline to bear in mind is this is not a full return to on site teaching but to pre-lockdown arrangements with extra H&S measures in place. Staff are only required on site for teaching so can/should work from home where possible/practical.
It still remains the case that if you are concerned about your individual situation then in the first instance you can talk to your line manager to work through and address those concerns. Where appropriate you can request an individual risk assessment or review of an existing one. If , however you feel that your concerns aren’t being addressed satisfactorily then please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us – ucu@camre.ac.uk
There is also the latest H&S Covid 19 information on the UCU National Website here – https://www.ucu.org.uk/covid19
