Covid-19 VCSE PPE & Health & Safety Information, Advice and Guidance / Public Health Q&A session on Thursday 2nd July 2020 at 1pm to 2pm

By /
With many parts of the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise Sector re-opening after the Covid-19 lockdown; attention is turning to how this can be done safely and with minimal risk.

In most cases (outside the medical field) social distancing will provide adequate protection without the need for PPE (Personal Protective Equipment, like masks and gloves). To find out more about PPE Guidance for your Voluntary or Community Organisation please Click Here to view Trafford Council’s Public Health VCSE PPE Guidance.

However, if you’re providing an essential service that can’t be done with social distancing, emergency PPE can be provided by Trafford Council for VCSE groups that are low on supplies or at risk of running out.

If your group requires emergency PPE please email to anna.jones@trafford.gov.uk for a PPE form, she will then contact you to discuss your needs.
