Guidance published for providers of supported living settings

The visiting section of this guidance has been updated in line with the government’s roadmap. The updates clarify visiting arrangements, and highlight how lateral flow testing for people being supported, and visitors, can aid visits in and out of the accommodation.

A new COVID-19 variant is spreading in some parts of England. There may be additional advice for your area. Find out what you need to do.

This guidance sets out:

• key messages to assist with planning and preparation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic so that local procedures can be put in place to minimise risk and provide the best possible support to people in supported living settings
• safe systems of working, including social distancing, respiratory and hand hygiene, and enhanced cleaning
• how infection prevention and control (IPC), and personal protective equipment (PPE), apply to supported living settings
