NHBF Working Closely With BEIS to Ensure Awareness of New COVID Regulations
The National Hair and Beauty Federation (NHBF) is working closely with the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to ensure that all hair & beauty industry professionals across England are aware of the new Covid-19 regulations affecting those who work in care homes.
Must Be Vaccinated
Coming into place this month, from Thursday 11 November, anybody entering a CQC registered care home for work or volunteering purposes must be vaccinated against Covid-19. This applies to all visiting workers, including hairdressers and beauty professionals.
Many contractors and volunteers are not aware that the policy also applies to them, and so we are working with colleagues at BEIS and DHSC to make sure that this new information is communicated to those within the hair and beauty industry who may be affected by the policy.
Some Exemptions
There are some exemptions to the policy, including people who are medically exempt, visitors and people entering for an emergency, and religious leaders meeting somebody at the end of their life. If you have any questions about the policy or how it will be applied, please contact Kelly North at DHSC (Kelly.North@dhsc.gov.uk).
