Face coverings -> 😷
They need to be worn on public transport and in most indoor places in England. 🚍
But not everyone can wear one, including many people with a #Disability or certain health conditions. ❤️

Our research found that seven out of ten people with a #LearningDisability have seen their social care cut during lockdown. 😔

If watching @BBCPanorama tonight you’ll agree I am sure that we will never have a better time for social care reform or for truly valuing the social care workforce @ComIntCare @AlisonHoltBBC @mencap_charity https://t.co/WENxYszeZB
“Technology is wonderful, but not everyone can access it. The UK’s 1.5 million people with a learning disability should be offered face-to-face consultations automatically – without needing to ask for them.” @mencap_charity https://t.co/A2zd0me4XB
While this consultation is GB only, we're calling for
@Economy_NI & @niexecutive to introduce similar legislation here. If you are/were a working #carer what are your thoughts or suggestions around the introduction of carer's leave in NI?
Northern Trust has developed resources for those who may be anxious about returning to school following school closures due to #COVID19 👇
