Consultation on Compulsory Vaccination of Care Home Staff

Consultation on Compulsory Vaccination of Care Home Staff

The government is seeking views on a proposal to make COVID-19 vaccination a condition of deployment in older adult care homes. Older adults living in care homes have been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic because of their heightened risk to COVID-19 infection.

To increase vaccine take up, the government is considering amending the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

This would mean older adult care home providers could only use those staff who have received the COVID-19 vaccination (or those with a legitimate medical exemption) in line with government guidance.

The easiest way to participate is by completing the public survey.

See the consultation description to find out more and to access alternative formats when available.

The deadline for responding to the consultation is Friday 21 May 2021.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
