Training can also recommence from 8 March in premises which are closed in legislation, but only if all those involved are members of staff and, while the stay-at-home message is in place (until Step 1B), if training cannot be done remotely. For example, an experienced staff member would be able to train another staff member, with a third member of staff acting as the "customer". Members of the public should not be involved in training before Step 2.
