A/H1N1 Swine Flu

Publication date: 27 April 2009

AoC has been in regular contact with DIUS and is being updated regularly on developments. A guidance leaflet has been produced and is available here:
Swine Flu - Information and Advice from DIUS
DIUS expects to update this guidance as the situation progresses. New versions will be uploaded on the AoC and DIUS websites. We also intend to produce a list of FAQs.

Regarding contingency arrangements for examinations, Ofqual has issued a statement:
Ofqual's statement on exam contingency planning

Much work has already been done, however.  AoC and member Colleges have been involved in the preparation of sector-specific Pandemic Flu guidance.
AoC H&S Briefings 3/06, 12/06 and 12/07 include background and links to the guidance.
It is also available on the Teachernet website:
Guidance for FE Colleges
