Ventilation grant scheme 'simplified'

The government's Covid-19 Business Premises Ventilation Grant scheme has now been simplified.

The scheme gives grants to businesses to help pay for ventilation systems, CO2 monitors, HEPA style filters and other items.

A fast track application is now offered for projects under £2,000, with financial assistance of 50% up to a maximum of £5,000 available. 

The simplified process now means businesses can claim retrospectively, and applicants no longer need to do a health and safety report before applying - more information can be found on the DfE website.
