Support for staff 

We recognise that dealing with and absorbing residents' anxieties is challenging.   It is important for staff to make sure we are paying attention to how we’re doing too – Pause, Check - How am I doing? Do I need a break / to call a colleague / bring my experiences of this work to our team skype call?

There are a lot of resources being made available on Essentials so look out for the daily updates.
