The Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC) has updated their “Supporting Communities Safely” COVID-19 guidance page.

The page, which has been checked for accuracy by Public Health Scotland, provides advice on how to reduce risk and staying safe while helping people and local communities, including topics such as:

promoting your service
making sure volunteers are safe and fit to provide services
handling cash
collecting and delivering prescriptions
preparing, handling and delivering hot food
accessing help with complex care needs

SCDC also welcomes feedback or suggestions for further resources via their online contact form.

Organisations, groups and individuals are encouraged to read the resources on this page before beginning to provide support, or when getting to reviewing the support they are already offering. The page has been designed for those without medical or scientific knowledge.
