Will the training be taking place indoors @Japes? Could you not ask if you could distance train at home @Japes? As someone who’s clinically vulnerable you could plead that you wouldn’t feel safe spending three days indoors for training if that’s where it will happen. A laptop could be provided for it if you’d be at risk as it’s surely a responsibility of the workplace to provide a safe working space to protect employees.
It's complicated in a workplace with our very high number of staff to student ratio and our tech availability strongly biased to students having first dibs on the laptops... the strong message is "Do the training at home, on your own devices." I also need to see exactly how much there is! They've also concluded my risk is higher because I may need to use public transport if my blood sugars drop on the walk to work rather than the diabetes itself! Yes, I pointed out my risk of dying is higher if I get it, but that information was still quite new when my risk assessment was done. (It's one of the reasons I've not been back in on the rotas currently in operation.)
Also, knowing how much things keep changing at the moment - there's every chance it may all get postponed until we are all back in the buildings and can use the work computers!! If I remember correctly, we usually run out of free computers fast on training days anyway!!
It will also be easier for me to make a decision once I've been in today and seen what the spacing is like.
