Following the latest announcement moving Kent into Tier 4, we are now taking the following steps to keep our team and service users safe, particularly in light of the new strain of the virus which is spreading more quickly.
From previous lockdowns we have experience in how to successfully adapt our ways of working to enable us to continue supporting women children and young people across Kent. We will review these measures as the situation progresses and government guidelines develop.
One-to-one work
- All one-to-one work with children and adults will now be carried out remotely.
- Face to face meeting is permitted when essential and when safety precautions have been taken and social distancing can be maintained.
- Resources can be dropped off at service users’ homes whilst social distancing is maintained, face coverings worn and hand sanitiser used before and after drop off.
Groups
- Support groups are currently suspended for the Christmas holidays. From January all groups will be delivered virtually.
One Stop Shop
- The One Stop Shops on the 24th and 31st December have been cancelled.
- If you have any questions our anonymous, confidential helpline is a free service offering emotional support, practical information and a safe space to talk. 01227 452852 Mon – Fri: 9:00am – 5:00pm
Whilst we are disappointed that we are not able to meet our service users face to face we are committed to continuing to meet the needs of service users during this time of uncertainty and beyond.
