Overarching Covid-19 documents

The materials included on this webpage are documents from www.GOV.UK.  Government is producing new and updating existing documentation frequently.  You can find all official and approved government documents in one place here.

We are including the documents that we feel are most helpful to you as HR & OD practitioners.  We won’t necessarily be updating this webpage everyday but where critical documents are developed we will let you know.

The documents in this section refer to Her Majesty’s Government overall response to Covid-19.

All materials related to social distancing, social isolation, health and wellbeing etc are included in the Public Health materials section.
