With the main theme of ‘regulation free is not risk free’, the interactive online course by West Oxon District Council (WODC) will help businesses determine which Covid measures they may need to retain or adopt, as well as advice on how to identify the most effective time to implement or reduce certain measures.

Suzi Coul, Cabinet Member for Finance said, “ We want to continue to support our local businesses as much as we can. This is why we have the new COVID Business Course Grant for existing businesses in West Oxfordshire. Our local businesses have shown resilience through the pandemic and these courses are designed to provide guidance and advice to help them grow for the future.

“If the last two years has taught us anything it is the importance of being creative, adaptable and flexible. This course presents an opportunity for businesses to share with fellow business owners, their experiences with coping and surviving; as well as best practises going forward.”
