The New Starter Award  – Winner 2019

Louisa and Simon

Louisa, Support Worker at the Bradford service had been working with the organisation for five weeks when she found herself dealing with an emergency life or death situation. She stayed calm and professional throughout giving emergency services the relevant information. Louisa contacted all relevant people to report the incident once the client was in the safe hands of the emergency services. Louisa completed factual records following the incident as well as supporting two other clients. Louisa’s actions and calm approach supported the emergency services to save the life of the client.

The New Starter Award was sponsored by Health Assured and was presented by Simon Tait.

Coronavirus (Covid 19) Statement

Due to the exceptional circumstances due to the ongoing Coronavirus (also known as Covid 19) and the Government rules about self-isolating it is very important to reduce the risk of cross infection to all our Clients and staff teams. Our teams are working hard to support all our clients and are committed to keeping everyone as safe as possible.

This means that, in most circumstances, and in line with government information regarding self-isolation and staying at home there should be no visitors to any of our services.

We know, however, that this will be very distressing for some of our Clients.

Therefore, we are saying there must be no visitors to services unless there are exceptional circumstances and the visit is essential.

Before a visit can take place, this must be risk assessed by the manager considering government advice and the individual circumstances. Before setting off on any visit to your relative/friend please get in contact with St Anne’s staff to discuss your visit.

Our services are using all kinds of technology, including social media to make sure that the people we support can stay in touch with those important to them

St Anne’s has developed a visitors protocol to enable visits to begin again in North Yorkshire, East Yorkshire, Durham, Middlesbrough and Leeds care homes.

In line with Government & local Council Guidelines each Client may have one family member or other person who is close to them visit on a regular basis.

Decisions where visitors can go are being based on Individual Local Authority advice following Government guidelines.
