Distance Aware Scheme
As restrictions ease and more of us begin to return to the workplace, it feels like we’re getting closer to pre-Covid ‘normality’.
For some of us, that will be welcome; others perhaps not so much. If you’re feeling nervous or anxious about mixing with others, in and out of the workplace, please be reassured that as employers we’re supporting the Distance Aware scheme.
Distance Aware badges or lanyards are available in libraries, most Asda stores, or available to purchase online. Wearing one lets people know – colleagues, customers, friends or family – that you feel more comfortable when you have more room, and it’s a non-confrontational way of asking others to respect your individual space.
Below is a link to a poster which can be printed off and displayed in your workplace. If you have any concerns about your safety at work, please raise these with your line manager. Equally, if you see that a colleague is anxious or struggling, please be kind and offer your support.
