Covid-19: care home safety huddle, staffing and escalation resources

Scottish Government officials have been working with representatives of the Care Inspectorate, SSC, Scottish Care and care home providers to produce a number of resources which will support care homes to identify factors that may impact on the health, safety and wellbeing of residents as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The links to the training videos for the Professional Judgement Decision Making Template and the Safety Huddle Template are now live: https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-care-home-staffing-and-escalation-resources/

Please also be aware that some minor changes have been made to the safety huddle template to enable the capture of staff testing information. The most recent version can also be found on the website at the above link.
