Extremely clinically vulnerable employees : There are local restrictions in place, so do they need to shield again?

[POSTMAN]

[Extremely clinically vulnerable’ employees

I have an employee in my team who is in the extremely clinically vulnerable group. There are local restrictions in place, so do they need to shield again?

Shielding ended on 31 July 2020 (16 August in Wales), so employees who cannot work from home have been able to return to work, with the relevant protective measures in place, from 1st August (17 August in Wales).

There may be cases of local restrictions where those employees who were previously shielding themselves are advised to do so again or take extra care. Where a local restriction impacts on the business, we will issue a COVID-19 flash communication to those in the affected areas. If this occurs, we encourage our managers to contact those employees to discuss their personal situation at the time.

When an extremely clinically vulnerable employee is returning to work managers should use the relevant Return to work toolkit and supporting documents to discuss returning to work with employees and contact HR Advice and Support where necessary.

Please note that the advice could change, so always check the Public Health website for the very latest position.
