We found the following examples of good practice.

Visitors to the service had their temperature taken, completed a health questionnaire and wore personal protective equipment (PPE). Visitors who were not regularly tested for COVID-19 as part of a testing programme were asked to undertake a Lateral Flow Test (LFT) before entering the building. These tests take 30 minutes to receive a result.

The home had an ample supply of PPE. All staff had received training in the correct use of PPE, and how to take it off and put it on safely.

People were supported to have regular contact with their families and friends through video and telephone calls.

Regular COVID-19 testing for all people and staff living and working in the home was regularly carried out.

Cleaning of the home, including frequently touched surfaces, had increased to reduce the risk of transmission of infection. There were ample supplies of cleaning equipment to reduce the spread of infection.

The service supported staff to travel to work safely without the need to use public transport. If necessary, the service paid for staff to access work via a taxi.
