Cancelled: PSA Forum 12th March

Coronavirus calls halt to Forum

Dear Members

We have just been informed by the PSA that in light of the changing situation with coronavirus and the fact that some people are no longer able to travel to Canary Wharf on Thursday, they have decided to cancel the forum. The purpose of the forum  was intended to be the first event in their programme of stakeholder engagement on the Code.  PSA have said the engagement programme will continue and they will be considering how to best to deliver on this.

They apologise for the short notice and any inconvenience this may cause.

Our workshop on the 18th is still going ahead as planned at this time and is nearly fully booked.

Kind regards

aimm Executive Team
