BCLA Focus Conference & Exhibition
The Vox Conference Centre | Birmingham | 11 - 12 June 2022 

BCLA is committed to ensuring a safe environment at our events and will continue to review and act on the latest NHS and government coronavirus advice and guidance as it develops. At present, BCLA plans to continue with the organisation of the BCLA Focus Conference. We will review the situation at each milestone on our organisational plan and issue updates accordingly.

Currently we are looking to run BCLA Focus online and in person at The Vox, Birmingham on 11 – 12 June 2022.  Please be aware that for your safety, additional policies and procedures will be in place relating to personal hygiene, social distancing, and the wearing of face coverings at all face-to-face BCLA events. 

VENUE PROTECT
The Vox is accredited with the VisitEngland ‘We’re Good to Go’ industry charter mark. This verifies that The Vox meets the Government and public health guidance on COVID-19 and that they have all the required health and safety processes in place. Find out more information on the current safety measures in place at the venue here.

PRE-REGISTRATION IS MANDATORY
To help us safely plan for your arrival, pre-registration for BCLA Focus is mandatory. This allows us to manage social distancing within the venue for your safety and comfort and ensures we can continue to provide you with a great event experience. Before booking, please ensure you are familiar with BCLA's booking Terms & Conditions which include detail about cancellations for reasons relating to coronavirus. 

COVID-19 STATUS CHECKS
In line with the recent changes to Government guidance and the end of Plan B restrictions, from Thursday 27th January the venue will no longer require delegates to pass through COVID-19 status checks at the entry points to their venue. This has been agreed upon in collaboration with the UK Health Security Agency. We do however continue to encourage delegates to take a lateral flow test before arriving at the venue but this is not a condition of entry unless specified by the venue.

COVID-19 SYMPTOMS
Before travelling to attend an event at the Vox, we kindly ask visitors to take personal accountability for their health and those around them by adhering to COVID-19 safety measures in place and NOT attending the BCLA Focus event at The Vox if they: are displaying symptoms, have been asked to self-isolate or live with an individual who has symptoms of COVID-19.
