With the situation surrounding COVID-19 constantly changing, we are aware that you will have concerns about how it may impact on your businesses and employees. There is lots of misinformation being reported so we have sought to pull together a reference guide for clients to quickly identify support and assistance that has been made available by the government, together with details of how to apply for support where appropriate.
We will be updating this guide in the coming days, weeks and possibly months in line with further announcements of government measures. However, given how fast moving the situation is, we would strongly advise you to keep up-to-date daily and follow the advice from the government and other organisations we have listed here.
Please follow the links to the right hand side of this page.
Please be assured that we are here to help and support you at all times throughout this unsettling period. Please do contact your engagement partner in the first instance, alternatively you can contact our specialist partners and advisors below.
