Dear Colleagues
Covid – the roadmap ahead. The 2021 HEA Conference & Exhibition followed by the Awards Dinner on Thursday the 28th of October.
As you know the roadmap is a step-by-step plan to ease restrictions cautiously across the UK with England and Devolved Administrations setting out separate plans for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Lockdown has had a significant impact on the economy and businesses. It has also had a damaging impact on people’s quality of life and mental health. Decisions on when to lift restrictions, and in which order, seek to strike a balance between the epidemiological evidence and advice, the impact lockdown is having on people’s health (including mental health and disproportionate impacts on certain groups), wellbeing, and the economy.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport CMS and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy have been working with representatives from industry and civil society to explore when and how events with larger crowd sizes, less social distancing or in settings where transmission is more likely (i.e. indoors), will be able to return safely. This includes sports events, music festivals and large weddings and conferences.
Over the spring the Government will run a scientific Events Research Programme. This will include a series of pilots using enhanced testing approaches and other measures to run events with larger crowd sizes and reduced social distancing to evaluate the outcomes. The Government will bring the findings from across different sectors and different settings to determine a consistent approach to lifting restrictions on these events. Depending on the outcome of this work, the Government hopes to be able to lift restrictions on these events and sectors as part of Step 4.
To this end the HEA and HEA-HEMSA Councils have agreed that we should proceed with the planning of the 2021 HEA Conference and Exhibition followed by the Awards Dinner on Thursday the 28th of October. We will be working closely with the venue, The Celtic Manor, and both councils to ensure the most up to date guidance and rules are adhered to providing a safe environment for this industry leading event.
Obviously it’s too early to give specific details but considerations already in play are;
The HEA will continue to monitor the latest government advice which as you are aware, can change daily.
We ask for your current and continued support and understanding at these difficult times.

Yours sincerely
