This question was answered on 18th May 2020
The government is making sure that people and businesses have access to the support they need as quickly as possible. The English language teaching sector can apply for additional support through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme where they meet the criteria for these schemes. The government has provided enhanced support to other sectors under exceptional circumstances through business rates relief and grants given the direct and acute impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on those sectors.
