Lockdown restrictions eased across the UK

As lockdown restrictions are eased across the UK, ELT centres will be planning the date and nature of their re-opening for face-to-face teaching. This will not be the same for all. 

Government social distancing guidelines should be followed to ensure premises and operations are Covid-19 secure.

Update on English UK events and training

To ensure the safety and wellbeing of our community and delegates, we will not deliver any face-to-face events before September 2020.

We will continue to monitor the situation and are committed to supporting our membership community, agent network and stakeholders as best we can.

No immediate changes as UK leaves EU

The UK left the European Union with a withdrawal agreement on Friday 31 January 2020.

This means the transition arrangements around travel, EHIC cards, Erasmus + and GDPR are unchanged. The UK is in a transition period until the end of December 2020, as the UK government works to negotiate trade deals and put new immigration guidelines into law.
