For my nice and short Blog this week I am just going to point out the links I have been given for the most current UK government guidance on Covid-19 (as of 29.04.20).
1. Government guidance for Home/Domiciliary Care (24 April 2020)
The new home care guidance can be found at COVID-19: how to work safely in domiciliary care which includes the latest PPE guidance.
2. Government guidance for care staff supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults (updated as of 24 April 2020)
Apparently an updated version of this guidance (it is now all in one place) came out on Friday, and can be accessed at: Coronavirus (COVID-19): guidance for care staff supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults.
3. Testing (updated as of 29 April 2020)
Social Care staff can now be tested either by self-referral, or employer referrals – you can check the guidance at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-getting-tested
Please keep well, please keep going, but please keep safe.
p.s. My 'weekly' blogs are now likely to become a bit less frequent (i.e. less than weekly) as I have been redeployed, and am now going back to work as a Healthcare Support Worker in one of our NHS Specialised Supported Living Service homes (after a career break of more than 30 years) - Fingers crossed that I can be more of a help than a burden!
