PRESS RELEASE: Face-to-face health assessments for benefits suspended amid coronavirus outbreak
Liaising with Commissioners
ERSA continues to talk to all commissioners raising the sector’s concerns and offering practical help to keep organisations delivering throughout COVID-19.
Resources to carry on delivering
ERSA is developing a resource bank that all organisations can use when people are self-isolating and/or delivery centres are not open.
ERSA is developing a series of webinars and on-line resources to assist the sector through the coming period, to enable all organisations continue delivering despite COVID-19. One aspect of this offer will be a bank of on-line resources held on the ERSA website.
If you use on-line courses, tools, and resources that can be used by others please tell ERSA about them by emailing membership@ersa.org.uk.
Or can you write a blog for ERSA on your business continuity plans sharing good practice in how services will continue?
Or will you participate in, or deliver a webinar? This can be on a topic that will inform and upskill the sector, or on how you are delivering through COVID-19.
ERSA is also investigating what on-line resources we are able to source for our members. (Some costs may be involved).
COVID-19 Sector Q&As
Do you have questions or concerns that you want to raise? If so please email them to membership@ersa.org.uk Please specify if you want to remain anonymous when they go on the Q&A log.
ERSA is continuing with Employability Day 2020 on Friday 26 June 2020
We recognise that delivery centres may not be open. ERSA will provide organisations with a toolkit in the coming weeks that can be used to demonstrate what the employability sector is delivering through the COVID-19 period. To reflect these challenging times, this year’s theme will be Business As Usual and our hashtags are #EmpDay20 and #BusinessAsUsual. We know that many aspects of delivery may be unusual, but the sector will carry on to support those most in need of services and support.
Employability Day 2020 will be a showcase for the sector to demonstrate that we are:
- Innovative
- Creative
- Supportive
- Collaborative
and that we continue to deliver, support and service customers through challenging times. Later in the year we will run Employability Day Part 2 – when our doors are open again. Email us at empday@ersa.org.uk.
Please look out for further announcements re Building Partnerships and the ERSA Employability Awards.
