COVID-19
As much of the government and union advice from 2020 onwards is now out-of-date, we have removed it from this website to avoid confusion. However, Covid is still a threat and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. You can access advice via the UNISON website
We have retained a historic list of documents from 2020/21 at the bottom of this page. Newer documents are listed separately above this.
