Due to the statement made by the Prime Minister on Monday 4th January 2021, the National VPC has now moved to the COVID readiness level of RED

VPC COVID readiness level - RED
What does it mean ?
- Digital delivery only
- No face to face activity or meetings
- No residential activity
The National VPC guidance is taken from that produced by the National Youth Agency (NYA) in consultation with the Department of Culture Media an Sport. The guidance produced by the National VPC may differ from that produced by the NYA due to the need to provide guidance to all Police Forces in *England*. Police Forces can deviate from the guidance published but only with the authority of their Force VPC Designated Responsible Officer and robustly risk assessed.
This guidance is for Police Forces in England only - Police Forces in Wales should continue to follow the guidance and restrictions put in place by the Welsh devolved government.
The current readiness level will remain in place until further notice
