COVID-19 Update

Access to Industry remains committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our staff, volunteers and those we support. COVID-19 has changed how we are currently operating.

We are following guidelines and we are supporting people remotely, and where required, in person – by appointment. This is both in Cowgate based and in our outreach services. Our Edinburgh College courses are through blended learning with some in-person and some online classes. If you have a caseworker you can still contact them directly by mobile or email during office hours. If you don’t have their number, call 0131 260 9721 or text 07809 555 708.

We constantly review our practices in view of guidance, and updates will be posted.
