Visiting Guidance for Adult Care Homes
The Commission has written to the Clinical and Professional Advisory Group for Care Homes in Scotland, setting out a range of human rights considerations that should be taken into account in developing guidance on visiting for adult care homes in the context of COVID-19.
The Commission has recently been contacted by members of the public expressing their ongoing concern at the arrangements for visiting residents of Scotland’s care homes during the pandemic. It is also an issue which has been repeatedly raised through our impact monitoring work on social care throughout the pandemic of recent months.
