Planning a Safe Christmas

Planning a Safe Christmas

Sheffield City Council has issued advice on staying safe this Christmas.

This takes the form of a video in which Greg Fell, Director of Public Health in the city, goes through ten helpful principals for you to carefully consider whilst planning your Christmas arrangements. These all reinforce maintaining all of the existing hygiene measures in place – hand washing, distancing, face coverings, bubbles, self-isolating, testing etc. – to reduce the potential of infection spreading. Don’t forget opening windows!

You can see the video here.

Meanwhile the UK Government, along with its Scottish and Welsh equivalents, have joined together to issue a statement on staying safe.

Their message is that a smaller Christmas is a safer Christmas, and a shorter Christmas is a safer Christmas.

It says: “We know the extraordinary lengths that people have gone to this year to protect their loved ones and the NHS. We know that people want to see life return to normal. And with vaccines now being deployed, next year we are confident it will do. But to get there safely, this cannot be a normal Christmas. We must continue to work together to prevent the spread of the virus, and to protect our friends, our families and our front-line workers.”

You are advised to make a Christmas bubble with friends and family. This advice is available in a variety of versions including large print and Easy Read

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.

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 :)

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