GWA Offices – How we are managing COVID-19
Information correct as of 31 March 2022
Everyone at GWA understands the need to assess and manage the risks of COVID-19. As an employer, we also have a legal responsibility to protect our employees, clients, and others from risk to their health and safety.
We continue to regularly review the emerging COVID-19 updates, which are now thankfully reducing. We have recently updated our way of working both inside our offices and also when managing external relations.
If you are visiting our office in Berwick-upon-Tweed or Haddington, we would be grateful if you would respect the following:
- on arrival at the office front door, please take a step back so we can maintain a 1 metre distance whilst letting you into the building
- on entering the building, the Partner or member of staff meeting you will take the details of each visitor and confirm that no one is feeling unwell
- please sanitise your hands on entry using the facilities provided
- you should maintain a 1 metre distance whilst inside the building (where possible)
- when you sit down in a meeting room, please turn over the green laminated ‘clean desk’ sign. Do not sit down if a red ‘desk unavailable’ sign is displayed
- if you feel unwell during a meeting, please let us know. We will confirm with you, if you are well enough to go home and we will book another time to resume the meeting when you are feeling better.
In order that GWA can maintain accurate compliance files, please confirm if you have experienced any symptoms that could relate to COVID-19 in the 48 hours prior to the meeting.
We hope you do not find this guidance intrusive. However it is to ensure that we keep you, our team and families as safe as possible.
Our objective, from the very start of the crisis was to ensure we continue to deliver ‘Quality Advice – Quality Service’ for all of our clients. All our team is working hard to keep disruption to a minimum and we always ensure that our workspaces are the safest place that we can make them.
