Get Grants takes the safety, security and confidentiality of our attendees extremely seriously, and have put the measures detailed in this policy in place to minimise risk at our online events.

Get Grants uses Zoom for our online events, including Training Courses, Masterclasses, Workshops, Conferences, and Community events.

We have a range of measures in place in order to minimise risk and provide the best quality for attendees, which are reviewed on an ongoing basis. All events are protected through the measures provided below.

How we keep our online events safe and secure
