At present, WIG is monitoring the situation and is following official government policy for businesses on how to act in these changing circumstances. The official advice is outlined here. We have reviewed how best to deliver our programme of events and leadership development opportunities in these uncertain times. Our focus is on our members and delegates continuing to enjoy the benefit of the content and networks created, while keeping themselves and others safe.

With this in mind, we have developed a comprehensive programme of virtual events and webinars. We add new content regularly, so please check the latest virtual opportunities to learn and connect here. 

 

Should we require to cancel any of our events, activities and development programmes, we will notify attendees as early as possible. We will do this via the means that you have given us permission to contact you by, be that email, text or phone call.

To ensure you get the most up-to-date information in a timely manner, we advise you to always check your emails before planning your attendance at an event or programme, and we highly recommend that when prompted, you provide us with your mobile number, which we will only use in case of emergencies and last-minute cancellations.

You may also find it helpful to log in to your WIG website account here and check that we have your most up to date contact details. Please also ensure that you whitelist the wig.co.uk domain with your email provider, to ensure that our emails get through to you.

If you are unable to attend one of our paid-for activities (such as development seminars, leadership programmes and paid-for events) due to your own circumstances (sickness, quarantine, company ban on external event attendance etc.), our cancellation policy applies – you can read this here. 

If you are unable to attend one of our free or paid-for events or activities because of your personal circumstances, but have made travel arrangements for which you have incurred a cost, WIG is not liable to refund your expenses on that front and we advise you to take this up with your organisation to claim against their/your insurance. 

For any paid-for event, seminar or programme cancelled under unforeseen circumstances by WIG, we will honour the conditions of our cancellation policy. You can read our cancellation policy here.
