Dear all,

Now is your opportunity to tell the LCCSA that the proposed move to protocal 3 is not sufficient and not in line with the governments introduction of plan b.  It is simpley a move back to in person attendance for anyone who needs an AA.  Thats a large number of our clients and those we deal with on duty.

We need plan B to be an exception under exception 3 as the governments states we should work from home.  The other representative bodies has made a suggestion that plan b allows us to work remotely under this exception without the need to mopve to plan b see next email where I will forward what I received.

In my view we need to resume remote interviews for all clients as we did prior to protocal 3 as the government has moved back to working from home where possible to try and slow the spread of the new variant and to save christemas.

Please don’t just leave it as if you do it will be protocal 3 and in person attendance for most client as many need AA and in addition no exception for solictors self isolating as that was not dealt with until protocal 3.

This has to be sorted out immediately and urgently so please get writing and express your views to the LCCSA .

Noone else can sort this out for you so don’t leave it to your colleagues and then complain when nothing gets done for us.

My view is new protocal 5 incorporating the temporary measures introduced by government and allowing all interviews to be remote until the government moves away from plan b and to follow the advice of government as to when it is safe to resume protocal 4.

Please read the suggestion of other representative bodies which I will forward to all of you.

Kind Regards
