Some people may have the option of returning to work at reduced hours, while others may face the prospect of redundancy and unemployment. The impact of coronavirus will continue, particularly for people who are sick, isolating or have vulnerable family members.

The course covers:

• What benefits and support is available if unable to work due to sickness or isolation
