THE GUIDANCE FROM WWW.CICVFORUM. CO.UK/DOWNLOADS


by SELECT’s Director of Employment and Skills, Fiona Harper and Barrie McKay, Training and Development Manager at SECTT. Other essential input came from members of the CICV Forum Health and Safety Sub-Group, including Martyn Raine, Technical and Skills Manager at the plumbing employers’ federation SNIPEF. Fiona said: “With ongoing discussions about the resumption of studies, we are all obviously keen that apprentice safety


is put fi rmly at the forefront. These recommendations are designed to be practical and easy to follow, with clear guidance on how to protect both apprentices and the college facilities themselves from the ongoing threat of coronavirus.” To help spread the message even wider, the presentation is being adapted into an animation that will be shared on social media and websites, encouraging apprentices to stay safe during their studies. Fiona added: “In everything


we’re doing, the message is clear: We must work together to stop this virus, safeguard the young people in our industry and protect our wider communities and families.”
