To implement the Covid
Assistance Relief Fund Policy introduced as part of the Covid
Assistance Relief Scheme.
The pandemic has impacted on
most businesses to some degree whether through reduced trade, staff
shortages or increased operating costs to maintain a covid secure
workplace. It’s therefore
recommended that a scheme should be introduced to provide
additional support.
In order to provide support as
quickly as possible and minimise the burden on local businesses, a
scheme of direct awards is favoured, with any application process
and means testing held to be time consuming for businesses and
operationally difficult to administer within the timeframe for
awards, 2021/22.
