CORONAVIRUS SELF-EMPLOYED INCOME SUPPORT SCHEME (SEISS)

The coronavirus outbreak is the biggest public health emergency in a generation. Our message to the public is clear: you must stay at home, in order to protect the NHS and save lives.

Please see attached  HMG easy-read guidance on ‘Staying at home’ and ‘Keeping away from other people’.

This advice is to help adults with caring responsibilities look after the mental health and wellbeing of children or young people, including those with additional needs and disabilities, during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

As you may be aware, RBBC are currently administering grants to businesses in response to recent events caused by the Covid-19 crisis. You may be eligible for this grant; however, in order to assess your entitlement, we require some details from you, or someone representing your company.

This briefing is from Councillor Mark Brunt, the Leader of the Council and John Jory, Chief Executive on behalf of the Incident Management Team at Reigate and Banstead Borough Council

Specialist units across government are working at pace to combat false and misleading narratives about coronavirus, ensuring the public has the right information to protect themselves and save lives.

HMG's key announcements 29/3/20:

During this time, you may be bored, frustrated or lonely. You may also feel low, worried, anxious, or be concerned about your health or that of those close to you. Everyone reacts differently to events and changes in the way that we think, feel and behave vary between different people and over time. It’s important that you take care of your mind as well as your body and to get further support if you need it.
