COVID PROTOCOLS FOR CIOB EVENTS

Please note 

We reserve the right to postpone or cancel any face-to-face events due to COVID-19 or any other public health crisis, for example where: (a) there is any applicable government restriction or guidance that would, or is reasonably likely to, prevent the event from being held on the scheduled date – for instance due to the emergence of a new variant; and / or (b) CIOB, acting reasonably, but in its discretion determines that it would be too high risk to hold the event on the scheduled date.  If we cancel or postpone the event, we will be in touch regarding any fees which you have pre-paid and details of any rescheduled events (where applicable).  However, other than where we agree to reimburse you for any pre-paid fees, we will not otherwise be liable to you for any other costs, liabilities, expenses or damages which you may suffer due to the cancellation or postponement of an event in the above circumstances. 

We strongly encourage all attendees to follow government guidelines, including taking regular lateral flow tests before attending public events and not attending if you have any COVID-19 symptoms – we reserve the right to enforce such requirements, as a condition of you being able to attend the event.  Further specific rules and restrictions may apply depending on the venue and nature of the event (for instance wearing of masks and social distancing may be required).  By registering for an event, you agree to comply with these requirements and accept our policy set out above.
