To this effect, we are adopting the following measures immediately:
- From today, 16th March 2020, we will be encouraging our executive staff to work remotely when possible and to implement physical distancing strategies to keep safe. We will reassess these strategies weekly and will be informed by further updates from the CDC, WHO, and government directives about the situation.
- Some of our services and meetings will be suspended. Our partners and key stakeholders will be kept informed on our proposed strategy to manage this situation.
- Our board meeting originally scheduled for Tuesday 17th March has been postponed.
- This suspension includes our certified training, those booked onto training on the 18th March 2020 will have received an email update informing them of this cancellation. All cancellations will be rescheduled for a date in the future. We recommend that BID members check our website and social media for the latest information.
- Our staff members will be contactable via email and telephone messages will be picked up daily. The BID will continue to be operational during business hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 – 17:30. All staff will have access to documents remotely and will, electively, attend some appointments already booked but will aim to avoid large and/or lengthy meetings. Brixton BID will continue to make scheduled payments to all our suppliers for services already received. We have a business continuity plan in place which will allow us to carry on with our duties with minimal disruption to processes.
- Please find the latest information from the NHS using the following link.
We will continue to work in the background to make necessary adjustments to our work and operations and seeking ways to maintain the value we give our members, whilst still upholding the health and wellbeing of both our BID members and employees. In the meantime, we are still running some projects and will keep members informed of any developments with our activities.
