I have been notified of a timeslot very late and cannot make it – eg I have a job or another commitment

Schools and Colleges have been given less than 2 weeks to pre-register / gain consent for testing, use this data to plan and gather the resources to administrate and deliver mass rapid testing, establish and email out timeslots – in an ideal world we would have liked to have given students at least a fortnight’s notice of a test slot and to have given students more control over when their timeslot would be, but the time constraints described plus the government’s target to have the testing completed within the first week and a half, minimise our ability to give very much notice at all or to be flexible as to when timeslots are allocated or if they can be changed – please do all you can to try and attend them, taking time away from jobs if needed.
