COVID-19: Latest information from EWI

byAnonym

In light of the continuing developments of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and in line with Government guidance, we have had to adjust the way some of our services are delivered but rest assured, we are still here to support you.

 

The EWI has now implemented virtual working for all staff until further notice.

 

Whilst the office is closed, we would recommend that all contact with EWI at the moment should be through e-mail, wherever that is possible. The best way to get in touch is to contact us via the following email addresses:

 

  • membership@ewi.org.uk – for any membership enquiries
  • events@ewi.org.uk – for training and events
  • info@ewi.org.uk for all other queries

 

The telephone number has been redirected to a member of the team and will be available between 9am and 5pm. As we have a small number of staff, it is possible that the answerphone will be on if the team member is in a meeting or on another call. If this is the case, please leave a message. This will be emailed to the team and someone will call you back.

 

With this in mind we remain very much open for business and want to wish you all well during these difficult times.

 

Simon Berney-Edwards

Executive Manager, Expert Witness Institute
