The prime minister evening to provide a plan for both beating the virus and the 鈥榝irst sketch鈥� of a roadmap for reopening society. He confirmed that, whilst those that can work from home should continue to do so, anyone that can鈥檛, which includes those in construction and manufacturing, is actively encouraged to go to work but to avoid travelling on public transport where possible.

It was made clear that this is not the end of lockdown but the start of the government鈥榮 plan to 鈥榮ave lives and restore livelihoods鈥�. Whilst small changes will be introduced over the coming weeks, these will be 鈥榗onditional鈥� on keeping the rate of infection or R number below 1.0 and a new Covid Alert System will be used to indicate if that is being achieved.

Guidance on safer working for a range of working environments will be published this week and the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) will review the in light of any changes.

The government is considering how to phase out the , recognising the impact of a 鈥榗liff edge鈥� if it ends abruptly at the end of June 2020. A CLC working group has made a to the Treasury on how it could be extended as a 鈥榳ork support鈥� scheme. This would allow work and training to be undertaken whilst the amount of support from Government is phased out gradually over the last six months of 2020. It is likely there will need to be continued support for employees in the extremely vulnerable category, including those shielding or with caring responsibilities.

The working group also proposed that the industry should establish a talent retention scheme to safeguard against the loss of skills and experience. This could include an online portal to advertise and facilitate loans of teams or individuals between businesses.

At the end of last week, CLC Co-Chair Andy Mitchell (Tideway) and CLC member Mark Reynolds (Mace) joined a Q&A with Build UK Trade Association members. The discussion focussed on how the industry has pulled together to respond to the coronavirus crisis and the recognition this has resulted in from government. Continuing to work collaboratively will be key, with Andy Mitchell stating that 鈥渇or the supply chain to survive this cannot become an 鈥業 win, you lose鈥� situation鈥�. The Roadmap to Recovery currently being developed by the CLC will provide a unique opportunity to 鈥榬estart, reset and reinvent鈥� the industry over the next 12 months and beyond.
