Rules and Roadmap

To protect us, national coronavirus restrictions remain in place across West Sussex.

See the GOV.UK website for information about what you can and cannot do.

These rules apply even after you’ve had your vaccine and/or if you have received a negative COVID-19 test result. 

The Government has published its roadmap out of lockdown, which sets out the steps for easing restrictions. However, the pandemic is not over yet, so it’s important to not let your guard down, to remain vigilant and to keep on acting like we have the virus in order to protect each other.

Every time we 'act like we have it', it brings us one step closer to easing restrictions, so please be patient, look after one another and visit Keep West Sussex Safe.

See the GOV.UK website to find out more about the roadmap out of lockdown.

Stop, Look, Care Training

"Stop, Look, Care" training aims to increase carers' confidence in identifying the signs of deterioration in health and wellbeing and taking the appropriate course of action to manage it quickly.
Sussex Clinical Commissioning Groups are offering 12 free training sessions to care providers and family carers from 16 April to 23 July 2021. The case studies used are taken from the LeDeR programme so are considered to be relevant for the care of people with a learning disability.
Please use Eventbrite to select a date and book onto a training session.
