INFORMATION\nFOR SERVICE PARTNERS AND COLLABORATORS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the\nCOVID 19 situation develops, we would like to take this opportunity to inform you\nof how ADS is responding. The health and safety of our staff, clients, service\npartners and collaborators is a priority. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are continuing to provide services with\nhealth and safety in mind<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • At\nthis point in time our offices remain open and we are continuing to provide\nservices in a way that has staff, client and general public health and safety\nas a primary consideration.  <\/li>
  • We\nare minimising face to face client contact and using alternative means of providing\nservices to our clients where possible and with funding requirements in mind.<\/li>
  • All\nADS run group based activities have been postponed for the time being to reduce\nthe risk of transmission of the virus in group settings.<\/li>
  • We\nhave postponed all ADS organised community events e.g., festivals, information\nsessions.  <\/li>
  • We have postponed ADS hosted\ninter-agency meetings where alternatives to conducting in person meetings\ncannot be arranged. <\/li>
  • We have instructed our staff to\nnot attend in person external interagency meetings until further notice. Staff can\nparticipate in meetings via electronic means.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Minimising the risk of transmission <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • We\nhave processes for staff to notify us if they are unwell or have had exposure\nto the virus.<\/li>
    • We\nhave instructed staff on good hand\/cough\/sneeze hygiene, and social distancing\nmeasures.<\/li>
    • Provided\nhand sanitizers in all our offices and to staff visiting clients in their\nhomes.<\/li>
    • Introduced\narrangements to maximise social distancing e.g., interim working from home,\npostponement of internal training.<\/li>
    • We\nhave written to clients about COVID 19 and how they can help us minimise the\nrisk of transmission in their interactions with us.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      These are\ndifficult times for our clients, service providers and the community as a\nwhole.  We will continue to work in solidarity\nwith you to provide needed services as best we can with health and safety being\nfront of mind. We will provide updates as the situation unfolds.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
