As a sequel to Lindsay’s previous blog and bearing in mind the importance of ensuring our resident’s safety, it has reluctantly been decided not to send seven of our staff members to the Caring UK Awards later this week.

We have risk assessed the situation and believe that for so many of our staff to be in close contact with over 400 fellow care workers, the potential risk of infection is high, and the possible consequence on the safety and wellbeing of both our staff and ultimately our residents could be seriously compromised.

Having invested a considerable amount in tickets and hotel accommodation we still believe this is the correct thing to do.
