I also would like to know if there is a date by which the Police (or more importantly the LAA as what we really want to know is whether we will get paid if we do remote attendance) are meeting with defence representatives to discuss this issue. Has anyone organised a meeting/call regarding a return to remote attendances yet? People are dying and our current PM is telling people not to assume the new variant (which is spreading) isn’t a killer. How long must we wait for an answer?

In London police frequently ask if we are remote as they seem to prefer it to. I have no idea why this is taking so long to organise... people are dying and we rock up to unventilated people packed rooms daily and the variant is spreading at an alarming rate. Tick Tock

Richard - Even if police allow remote you can't claim for them. So this may be worth bearing in mind if you have an audit coming up...

Dear all,

Especially those on the committee.

Do we have any concrete plans or meetings in place to discuss the latest police station advice regarding attendance?

I know the LCCSA produced something but not the CLSA as far as I’m aware. (Happy to be corrected)

We have had an issue whereby I refused to send a member of my staff as she was pregnant. Has been doing them remotely and the issue arose. I had no one else to send and the police decided to make it a huge issue.  Client was an old own client so good as gold - luckily.

Apparently we have been reported to the LAA by the police for not following the national protocol.

I didn’t enter into any national protocol. And I can’t delegate my responsibility as an employer for their health and safety.

We really could do with some clarification soon to cover the Xmas period.

 I’ve been asked what contingency plans we had in place because the police have to have one… I said we don’t have that many staff; and we aren’t duty bound to put ourselves in harms way.

Richard
