COVID-19
At GP Strategies, the health and welfare of our employers, learners, colleagues and the community remains our top priority during this time of uncertainty surrounding coronavirus (COVID-19).
We are closely monitoring the situation as it evolves and are continuing to adapt following the guidance issued by the government and health authorities to help keep everyone as safe as possible.
Maintaining business continuity
We have put measures in place to maintain business continuity during the coronavirus outbreak, and will endeavour to continue to provide the highest standards of training at all times.
Protecting our workforces
All our employees have been issued guidance on how to protect themselves and others from the COVID-19 virus, and the steps to take should they experience symptoms. We request that we work together to protect our workforces, therefore would be very grateful if you can alert us if anyone in your organisation has symptoms, has been asked to self-isolate or is in quarantine.
COVID-19 apprentice incident reporting process
If you are an apprentice and have tested positive for COVID-19 or have been in contact with someone who has, or if you're told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace or the NHS COVID-19 app, please follow our apprentice incident reporting process.
Virtual learning
We have introduced some measures to reduce face-to-face interactions, while maintaining the same quality of learning and support. Our ongoing investment in technology and infrastructure means our employees, including skills coaches, can work remotely from home to continue supporting learners in a virtual environment. This will also include increasing the usage of our web chat facilities.
The situation with coronavirus is changing every day, and we are committed to safeguarding our people while serving the core needs of our employers, learners and communities during this challenging time.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact:
