Meetings

The Charity Commission has updated its guidance on holding meetings during the national lockdown.

  • Where possible, it states that charities should hold meetings online or via telephone. Where this isn’t possible, however, trustees can continue to meet in person to deal with essential charity business. For more detailed guidance, visit: www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-for-the-charity-sector
  • If you do choose to hold an in person trustee meeting, please ensure that you follow strict Covid-19 safety guidance, including maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, and making sure you use a well ventilated room.

The government has also issued some leaflets on the new vaccine. These are available in an easily printable format for you to share with residents and staff. These are available at:

Shielding

The government has updated its guidance on shielding, which has been reintroduced for the third national lockdown. Those who are classed as clinically extremely vulnerable and therefore are being asked to shield, will also receive a letter from their GP with this information. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19
