A year ago today, we made the difficult decision to pack up our office and ask our team to work from home. 365 days ago, this was an alien concept, now the norm.

One of the Government’s control strategies aimed at reducing the risk of transmission of COVID-19 is to ensure classrooms are well ventilated.
