acas – Holiday and leave during coronavirus (COVID-19)
Holidays & Leave during Coronavirus: As the weather starts to change and (hopefully) we get some sunshine, staff may be turning to you to request booking leave or even carrying leave over.
In most situations, employees and workers should use their paid holiday (‘statutory annual leave’) in their current leave year. This is 5.6 weeks in the UK.
This is important because taking holiday helps people:
- get enough rest
- keep healthy, both physically and mental

Do you need Prevent information for your building or offices?
As we all start to move back into offices The Multi Agency Prevent Group ask you all to have a look around your buildings to see what Prevent related posters are displayed on the walls.
The Multi Agency Prevent Group are planning to get some of the Tom series of posters printed to be displayed across buildings and for organisations to display. There are also Communities Defeat Terrorism posters that were due to go out March 2020 available too.
The Multi Agency Prevent Group will also be reiterating the run, hide, tell message – posted monthly on social media we would like this to compliment that with posters in buildings.
The Multi Agency Prevent Group ask you all to let them know what posters you have regarding Prevent (if any) and let them know if you would like/need any then. The Multi Agency Prevent Group will then put together packs for groups/organisations for their buildings and offices.
