The UK is currently experiencing a public health emergency as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is critical that we all take steps to keep everyone safe. This document is intended to help those using the taking control of goods process – including all enforcement agents (both public and private), their employers and the creditors that use their services – understand how to work safely during the pandemic. The government is clear that no one should be forced to work in unsafe conditions and that the health and safety of workers and the public should not be put at risk.
