NHS Track and Trace

We are advising all people in the Circuit to download the NHS Track and Trace App.

Obviously this applies only to those with smartphones, but please urge all members of your friends and family circle to do so as well.

What is it?
Here's the Article from the BBC site today:

QR Codes

We are asking all churches to create and print off QR codes for their premises. These enable users of the Track and Trace app to 'log in' quickly when they are on site.

How do we get it?
The QR code application can be found here:

GDPR Consequences

The use of the QR code has GDPR implications as it means we are collecting personal data, albeit in an indirect way.

Stewards are advised to read the latest advice on QR codes on Methodist premises from TMCP:

This concludes the special Bulletin for today. Thank you for reading this and taking it seriously.
