Guidelines on going to work
Implications for practice
For businesses and private practitioners working in business premises
Across the four nations, the latest COVID-19 guidance allows face to face work to resume as normal with clients in business premises, providing they are COVID-secure and risk mitigation measures are rigorously employed.
For private practitioners working from home
If your usual place of work is your home address, and you have relevant insurances in place, then it's possible to resume work with clients in a private dwelling (home). However, it's vital that your premises are COVID-secure, you've undertaken a risk assessment and are following isolating rules after infection or close contact with an infected person.
