What does this involve?

The Scottish Government has published advice and information on support that's available for those who are shielding during the coronavirus pandemic.

This will help employers ensure that any employees who are shielding can return to work safely, if required to do so. However, Scottish Government advice continues to be to work from home where possible.

This guidance includes information on:

  • pausing shielding
  • returning to work
  • staying safe
  • travel advice
  • health and wellbeing

What does this cost?

This is a free service.

Who is this for?

All businesses in Scotland. 

How long does this take?

The full guidance should take around 10 to 15 minutes to read, but you may only need to read the parts which are relevant to your business.
