The visit will be greatly enhanced by the Link Up group planning as a team. It is important that the mission worker only has to make arrangements with one person, who is officially known as the Link Up group Contact but clearly more than one person should be involved in planning the programme.
In situations where the Contact is not on e-mail and the worker is, the Link Up group Contact may wish to enlist the help of a friend on e-mail to make necessary arrangements. On the whole it is recommended to try and make as many arrangements as early on as possible, to keep copies of any e-mails sent as sometimes they go astray and it may be helpful to have a copy to post to the UK Home Assignment address. Ask for confirmation of receipt of e-mails and try again if you did not get an answer to any specific questions.
BMS will send a third letter to all groups. This letter is sent when medical clearance is given or when the mission worker arrives in the UK. This is the final confirmation of the visit and includes the UK address and telephone number of your worker.
