We will keep our website up to date, so please do check it. This situation is unprecedented, and we are acting in the best interests of our clients, staff and the public. We hope you understand and support the action we have taken. 

You can keep up-to-date with current government advice, published daily here.

 

Face Coverings

The Government has updated its guidance on the use of face coverings. This page on the government link below explains what face coverings are, their role in reducing the transmission of coronavirus (COVID-19), the settings in which they are recommended, and how they should be safely used and stored.

Exemption cards or badges

Some people may feel more comfortable showing something that says they do not have to wear a face covering. This could be in the form of an exemption card, badge or even a home-made sign.

If you would like to use an exemption card you can use the PDF attachments on this page.

Gov link

 

Mind have created a page which explains why masks can cause difficult feelings and gives practical tips on how to cope. It also includes information on mask exceptions for mental health reasons.
