Response to Covid-19: Our focus is on providing a safe and welcoming learning environment for our students, and ensuring continued access to learning. As part of our response to Covid-19, in addition to live online learning activities we plan to offer some opportunities to engage in some small group face-to-face teaching at the London and Birmingham branch campuses as soon as it is safe for us to do so, continuing to follow Government advice and social distancing measures as required. Our plans are based on public health advice and robust risk assessments and will be regularly reviewed and updated in that context.
