Identifying innovative approaches which comply with the guidance but are allowing services to continue

Hello John,

We have a request in, via DCYA, from the Department of An Taoiseach for information regarding compliance with the public health measures in place and innovative approaches which comply with the guidance but are allowing services to continue to provide support. Please see details in the email below and download the spreadsheet for Feedback on Public Health Measures ([link removed][UNIQID]) it refers to. Please note that they are seeking feedback by close of business today Monday 23rd March.

I'd also like to draw your attention to the Federation for Detached Youth Work position statement on COVID-19 ([link removed][UNIQID]) and the implications of undertaking detached, outreach and street-based youth work, which will play such an important role in reinforcing the messages around the need for social distancing.

Stay safe and stay well.

Kind regards,

Mary
