Policy on Safe Working During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Date: January 2024  

Introduction

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown eased, we recognised that JNP needed to return to normal practice where possible and adapt to new ways of working where required. This policy explains the changes to our working environment and new ways of working.

We encourage you to let us know if you have any concerns, have identified any potential risks, or have any suggestions for further adaptations we can make – you can do this by raising concerns or making suggestions to your Office Lead / HR.

If you have coronavirus symptoms.

It is absolutely essential that if you develop either a:

  • fever, particularly a high temperature (i.e., a temperature of 37.8 degrees or over);
  • a new, continuous cough; or
  • loss of sense of taste or smell,

You must stay at home, self-isolate and get a test.

If you need a test, please click on the link to get this organised. https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test

If you are sick or needing to self-isolate and work from home, in line with our sickness absence reporting procedure, you should notify your line manager by telephone before 10am, or as soon as possible if that is not practical.
