Service continuity – general advice and tools
If there is a need to temporarily suspend some elements of your service, your funding should not be impacted. If your service has been significantly impacted by COVID-19, or you think it will be, and you may have difficulty meeting your contract requirements, speak to your contract manager about the developing situation and any contingency plans that may need to be put in place.
