Services status
Our services
For the safety of our staff and our residents, we are looking to reduce face-to-face contact as much as possible. You will start to notice that some of our non-essential services are being closed and events cancelled. We need to do this to ensure that we can maintain essential services with the resources available to us and to reduce the spread of the virus.

- We have cleaning, handwashing and hygiene procedures in line with guidance
- We have taken all reasonable steps to help people work safely from a COVID-19 Secure workplace or work from home
