*** PPE - call for action ***
Wiltshire & Swindon LRF is working with fellow responders across the South West and are grateful to businesses and others for their support in providing essential PPE supplies. PPE continues to present a huge challenge, and a national request is being made of organisations or others able to help with making PPE such as visors and gowns for our frontline workers. If you think you may be able to assist please use the following link to check the required specifications and register your offer here.
Business Continuity Awareness Week 2020
Business Continuity Awareness Week (BCAW) is running from Monday 18 May through to Friday 22.
COVID 19 is having a huge impact and this year there are Webinars that may help businesses during this difficult time.
The theme is “We are Stronger Together” and focuses on the idea of collaboration across teams, departments and disciplines to build and implement resilience within organizations and society in general. There are free resources and each day there are Webinars for SMEs and large organisations. This is an annual event run by the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) to raise awareness of the benefits of forward planning to protect your business and staff.
